In response to the problems faced by current Advanced Planning and Scheduling Systems (APS), including their difficulty to scale, deploy, high coupling between modules, and lack of versatility, we have meticulously divided each function of the system based on the original monolithic architecture, constructing an APS based on a microservices architecture.Utilizing Docker containerization technology and the Kubernetes container orchestration engine, we orchestrate and deploy containers loaded with various microservice components, making the system more elastic and flexible.On this basis, with the aid of common services such as Jenkins and the Harbor private repository, we have achieved agile development of the system, enabling the APS system based on the microservices architecture to better adapt to rapidly changing environments and demands.System simulations have shown that the improved system has better agility, scalability, decoupling, and maintainability.
