The ILOG Professional Services

(ILOG PS) organization has over 15 years experience building planning and scheduling applications that integrate with the leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM) applications. Whether you use ERP alone or ERP in conjunction with one or more SCM applications, ILOG can import the data needed to build plans and schedules that improve your profitability and customer service. Once optimized, these plans and schedules can be returned to the appropriate system of record for execution.

Integration architecture
ILOG planning and scheduling solutions read master and transactional data directly from your systems of record and create the planning and scheduling scenarios that the optimization engines solve. At any time, planners or operations personnel can commit the improved plans or schedules back to the system of record. And when customer demand, raw material, resource availability, scheduled shipments or other critical inputs change in your system of record, you can refresh the input data to ensure that the plan or schedule being developed is based on the latest information.

The required master data might involve available equipment and lines, recipes, trucks, distribution centers or shipping lanes. Transactional data used might include inventory positions, customer demand, production orders or shipments to be delivered.
