A post\u2010implementation evaluation reveals major pitfalls in the technology\u2010dominant approach, whose negative ramifications are usually overlooked. Besides, these APS implementation pitfalls are found to be attributable to the real\u2010world context, human factors and organizational aspects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite advances in information technology (IT) and computer modeling techniques, humans still play critical roles in the production\u2010planning processes \u2013 especially in a complex and dynamic manufacturing environment where incomplete, ambiguous, inconsistent and untimely data make automatic planning unrealistic. A rational human\u2010computer collaboration scheme under an effective organizational structure would be in a better position to take advantage of the IT.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper presents a humans\u2010technology\u2010organization\u2010framework of real planning systems, which is employed to analyze a case of APS implementation. Practical insights are extracted as a result of this field research, and a realist approach is proposed to cope with the problems and pitfalls of APS implementation in industrial settings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/02635570710822822","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,1]],"date-time":"2007-09-01T07:02:37Z","timestamp":1188630157000},"page":"1212-1226","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["A reappraisal on advanced planning and scheduling systems"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Chao\u2010Hsien","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheue\u2010Ling","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Min\u2010Yang Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021120032751100_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bainbridge, L.
