With nMetrics 4C, eAlliance Customers with ERP can also Employ Shop Floor Execution

Provides Manufacturers with Real-time, Live Scheduling, Monitoring and Tracking of Manufacturing Status

NAPERVILLE, ILL. (PRWEB) June 11, 2003 - nMetric today announced that it is partnering with eAlliance (Chicago, Ill.) to help manufacturers obtain the execution piece lacking in most ERP systems. Instead of investing in, or developing a completely new system, eAlliance manufacturing customers can now use 4C to proactively integrate and coordinate scheduling with real time tracking and updating of all resources, materials, labor and capacity.

Traditional ERP systems are lacking the execution or MES functions," explains George Britts, principal in eAlliance. nMetrics 4C is a logical plug-in for anyone in manufacturing. As an organization focused in the Oracle marketplace, we appreciate nMetrics use of Oracle technology in the 4C product. This consistency will provide our 4C implementations a much quicker implementation, allowing them to achieve desired business benefits very quickly. The web-based architecture is also consistent with the Oracle product suite and is what the market wants."

As a provider of innovative and effective consulting solutions to corporate users of the Oracle 11i E-Business suite of applications, eAlliance provides nMetric an excellent outlet to the Oracle Apps community," reports Tom Carpenter, nMetric CEO. With eAlliances extensive knowledge of the Oracle suite and nMetrics nTegrator, a real time application integration tool, implementations can be completed very rapidly with no custom programming. We look forward to helping eAlliance customers link scheduling and execution."

In addition," Carpenter says, our capable-to-build feature will allow eAlliance ERP users to access their system via wireless or network connected devices and instantly determine if their facilities are able to deliver a new order by a specific date, considering all resources and factors that might affect their ability to produce and deliver."

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.
