is the first generation of manufacturing software which maximizes
corporate-wide profitability and enables production schedulers, transportation
planners, and customer service representatives to optimize corporate operations
across traditional production and logistical boundaries. is the only end-item production management software available which uses cross-functional, multi-product optimization. The techniques used in non-sequential, cross-functional optimization were developed to handle the multiple production facility, multiple product, multiple-tier distribution problem common in today's manufacturing and production environment. operates in a range of business environments including: single/multiple production facilities; diversified or integrated enterprises; single/multiple product lines; dedicated/re-configurable production lines; and economic/non-economic constraints. is designed for mainframe, workstation, and PC applications. is transportable and re-configurable. is customized to each clients specific needs. Input files can be created and maintained in an ordinary flat-file or in any proprietary database environment. Output files may be written to a flat-file, a database, or customized output reports can be generated. See Major Reporting Elements. Output may also be customized to create input files for MRP/MRP II software. is flexible, fast, and powerful. The optimization module may be set-up to handle virtually an unlimited number of constraints. See Sample Model Configuration. has been applied to manufacturing concerns with distributed production facilities, multiple distribution channels, and multi-modal transportation capabilities. operates under economic, non-economic and contra-economic constraints, such as; carrier commitments, union agreements, state mandated FOBs, production allocation plans, and vendor purchase agreements. |
