SAP公司所發展的APO模組已被廣泛的應用在許多跨國企業作為全球運籌營運 規劃的辅助工具。以經營管理的角度而言，此系統是定位在對跨國企業的全球供應鏈 管理提供長期、中期及短期的營運決策支援；以資訊系統的觀點來看，此系統由企業 的ERP資訊平台獲取相關營運資料，針對營運目標進行計算，以期對企業營運提供具 體、及時、系統化及量化的決策支援。然而，就營運規劃的角度來看，SAP-APO的計 算效率仍有其進步的空間。本文以企業中期營運計劃的觀點，應用規則式專家系統 (Rule-basedExpertSystems)的方法對SAP-APO中產銷規劃機制的計算功能進行改 良。此一專家系統方法以市場的整體需求為考量起始點，以中期主營運計劃為範籌， 進行生產基地分派、運輸分派及配銷計劃的協同作業。文中並以一個情境資料的計算 結果來探討此一方法的計算品質與效率。所發展之決策模型對於已具有ERP系統作為 資訊平台的企業具實用價值。

The SAP-APO solution has been widely applied to the supply network planning of global enterprise. It provides a decision support for the business operations in terms of long-terms as well as mid-terms business logistics optimization. However, the calculation efficiency of the SAP-APO solution is still to be improved. This paper develops a rule-based method to improve the planning efficiency of SAP-APO solution. Given the market demand data, this solution procedure optimizes the master planning of a global supply network in terms of global production capacity allocation, logistics planning as well as distribution planning. A numerical case of computer manufacturing company is carried out to demonstrate the quality of the proposed approach.
