We live in times when it seems that a human being can be replaced by machine. It used to be that the planner was the person who issued production orders; today, the planner in divisions where we have implemented the ASPROVA APS system does not do this: this work is done for him by the system. It doesn’t mean that ASPROVA has replaced the planner.

With the system, the planner is given material to analyse, and it is the human being who makes the decisions. That’s why we can be flexible. We allocate the time previously spent arranging the schedule to analysis. The human being is irreplaceable.
