VIDEO CASE STUDY
Manufacturer IRUM: "The APS system helps us manage and plan tens of thousands of operations simultaneously, without delays or shortages"
Watch the video case study to discover the benefits that IRUM has gained with the help of the APS system for advanced production planning and scheduling!
Benefits and advantages gained by the Mures-based manufacturer – IRUM
The equipment we produce is highly complex, with some machines containing over a thousand internally produced components, while others are sourced externally. The APS system helps us manage and plan tens of thousands of operations simultaneously, ensuring that all the necessary components arrive at the assembly line at the right time, with no delays or shortages. Additionally, Senior Software’s advanced planning system enables us to efficiently manage the variability of work centers, which operate completely differently in terms of capacity. Whether it’s the foundry, a CNC center or the assembly line, APS ensures accurate and flexible planning.

PRODUCTION PLANNING
IRUM’s challenges before implementing the APS solution from Senior Software
With over 70 years of tradition in manufacturing tractors and forestry equipment, IRUM partnered with Senior Software to optimize production processes and manage multiple work centers efficiently and error-free.
Before collaborating with Senior Software, the company used a system that did not guarantee data accuracy, had numerous limitations, and last but not least, prevented real-time access to critical production flow information. As a result, IRUM was unable to identify potential problems or deviations in advance.
After implementing the APS system, the company, which generates annual revenue of approximately 28 million euros, has streamlined production flows, minimized downtime and obtained complete visibility across the entire production process, gaining better control over resources and meeting delivery deadlines.
One aspect I greatly appreciate about this system is its visualization capabilities, which are extremely intuitive and user-friendly. We have access to a wide range of charts and reports that we can generate directly from the planning tool. Every day, we monitor operations that are delayed compared to the set deadlines, and this helps us quickly identify potential issues.
A particularly useful feature is order merging, which allows us to produce multiple orders in a single batch that would otherwise be spread over longer periods. This contributes to fewer changeovers and optimizes raw material procurement. Additionally, producing larger batches helps us streamline the factory’s logistics flows.
