A close collaboration between software developer of business solutions Syspro and advanced planning and scheduling software developer Preactor International has culminated in a complete solution for effective factory management.
Both companies have won numerous awards for their achievements. Most recently, Preactor won its fourth consecutive 'Hottest Company' award in the US from Start IT, which recognises leading companies in their markets. Syspro has also been recognised by Start IT on several occasions.
Russell Hollick, Syspro's Research Director, says: "Without control of the production process, it is impossible for any organisation to predict what will come out of the factory. It is, therefore, equally impossible to give customers accurate and reliable due dates or provide them with updated information on the progress of their jobs.
"For companies that require greater control of their operations and are looking to increase customer service while reducing costs, Syspro Factory Scheduling is a production scheduling system that provides an interactive decision support tool that helps balance demand and capacity."
With Syspro Factory Scheduling, organisations have the option of three products: the simplest to use Graphical Planning Board; the more sophisticated Finite Scheduler; and the most sophisticated Advanced Scheduler, classified as an APS (advanced planning and scheduling) system.
These products are the result of the collaboration between Syspro and Preactor International. The solutions provide the depth of features and experience of the Preactor products, structured to work elegantly, simply and seamlessly with the core Syspro manufacturing modules. The result: a complete solution to manage the factory effectively.
"Syspro Factory Scheduling assists organisations in maintaining accurate and up-to-date production schedules, which take the complexities of the factory into account," Hollick says. "This enhances co-ordination between work centres, increases productivity, reduces work in progress and improves customer service."
