COSTA MESA, CALIF. - March 12, 2003 - nMetric today announced that it is partnering with Business Resources International (Newport Beach, Calif.) to help smaller and mid-sized manufacturing management, sales, production, partners and, most of all, customers determine if an order will ship on time or be late and know it ahead of time. Using nMetrics 4C, production hot spots are located before the fact so that the factory can compensate. Business Resources International clients and their partners will be sent alerts if problems in manufacturing or component delivery are foreseen to impact future schedules.

In todays manufacturing environment, management needs immediate feedback in order to improve their business decisions and become more responsive to their customers," explains Constantine Saterson, Business Resources International president. The business systems must integrate and coordinate the scheduling function with real-time tracking and updating of all resources, materials and capacity. 4C provides its users with a competitive advantage by supporting capable-to-build with ongoing automatic real-time adjustments to account for emerging conditions."

They maintain the highest standards of integrity and exemplary business practices. We look forward to 4C being integral to their customers successes."   

With nMetric 4C, orders are continuously monitored at every moment throughout the production process in real time to assure status and provide notification to all members in the supply chain if delivery expectations are not going to be met. When and if resources or demands change or might change, 4C attempts to resolve any problems that could affect delivery dates and/or proactively notifies all specified parties so they are aware and can plan accordingly. If there are prospective large shifts in plans or resources, users proactively use 4C to manually determine the impact of various what-ifs" on present order dates in the queue. Management can then anticipate what the effects of each change will be before making them.
