Apriso has designed a concept called adaptive manufacturing, in which manufacturers adopt systems and processes that provide the agility required to adopt new extended business models and continuous improvement initiatives, while also reducing risk by maintaining strict controls over process and quality. Apriso helps its customers gain competitive advantage by enabling rapid response to both planned and unexpected change; providing end-to-end, real-time visibility and control over operations throughout the enterprise and across the entire supply network; tightly integrating planning, execution, and control; and increasing efficiencies and eliminating errors.
