PlanetTogether APS Software provides advanced planning and scheduling software for multi-plant manufacturers and global operations to manage production planning and shop floor scheduling. We believe that manufacturing is a super force of social change. It lifts people out of poverty and improves lives. This is why helping manufacturers to have a greater impact, serve their customers better and be more successful drives us to push harder every day. We focus on companies that have the potential and desire to make the greatest positive impact on the most people. This usually means large, multi-plant manufacturers who are striving to be the best in their market. It also includes companies of any size who are especially beneficial to their communities. Our clients achieve their vision more quickly with the innovative planning and scheduling software and thoughtware that we have developed for effective use of resources and managing constraints. The solutions we deliver lead to more synchronized production and coordination between employees, departments, plants and across the supply chain. Our guiding principle is “Think and act like owners”. To help foster a true ownership mentality, every PlanetTogether employee has stock options that put an emphasis on long-term value creation. This yields a long-term, SuperPlant-based approach energized by a sense of urgency in everything we do.
