Assembly Process Planning Software

Simplify Manufacturing Engineering & Planning

Manufacturing engineers and planners are under pressure to launch faster, manage increasing product variation, and maintain traceability across every change. Yet many rely on disconnected spreadsheets and static documents that slow innovation and introduce risk.
Advantive’s APP suite eliminates silos by connecting engineering, planning, and production data in one platform. Every update in design, routing, or materials automatically synchronizes across work instructions, scheduling, and logistics — reducing errors and keeping your operations aligned.

Accelerate time-to-launch by up to 50% with connected engineering workflows

Reduce manual process rework and documentation

Improve collaboration across your PLM, MES, and ERP

• Enable data-driven continuous improvement

Digital Thread Manufacturing Software that Works

Bring your engineering and production data together in one connected ecosystem. Discover how Advantive’s Assembly Process Planning (APP) software can unify your process planning, scheduling, and logistics to accelerate your digital transformation.

Define and optimize every step of your assembly process with complete digital traceability.

  • Centralized process library linking design, quality, and ergonomics data
  • Automated work instruction generation for every model and variant
  • Integrated PFMEA, control plans, and change management
  • Dynamic line balancing to improve utilization and operator efficiency

Result: Faster updates, consistent documentation, and up to 80% fewer change-related errors.

Turn validated process plans into feasible, constraint-based production schedules.

  • Visual, drag-and-drop scheduling dashboard
  • Sequencing by model, variant, and resource availability
  • Automated constraint alerts for shift, tooling, or changeovers
  • Direct ERP integration for seamless order import/export

Result: More accurate schedules, smoother changeovers, and fewer production disruptions.

Bring your assembly processes to life in a digital environment that mirrors the real world.

  • Import multi-CAD models and visualize assembly steps in 3D
  • Validate ergonomic and tooling constraints before production
  • Automatically create visual work instructions from CAD data
  • Map eBOM to mBOM and confirm complete part consumption

Result: Faster design validation, reduced launch risk, and higher first-pass yield.

Ensure materials are always ready and aligned with your assembly plan.

  • Plan for Every Part (PFEP) and eKanban/eKitting management
  • Material flow visualization to reduce handling time
  • Dynamic synchronization with process and scheduling updates
  • Optimized delivery routes and inventory placement

Result: Lower material handling costs, improved accuracy, and on-time part delivery.

Advantive’s APP software is part of a connected ecosystem that unites design, planning, and execution. Together with our PLM and MES solutions, it enables a closed-loop manufacturing environment where every change — from design revision to process update — is instantly reflected across systems.

This digital thread eliminates data silos, shortens feedback loops, and enables continuous improvement across your enterprise.

Manufacturers using Advantive’s Assembly Process Planning suite achieve measurable performance gains:

  • 50% reduction in time to market, providing faster revenue generation 10% – 30% increase in labor efficiencies
  • 80% improvement in the accuracy of parts delivered
  • Complete traceability from product design through material logistics

These results empower manufacturing engineers and IT/OT leaders to lead digital transformation initiatives and champion data-driven process improvement.
