Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) June 19, 2009

Scheduling, planning and general shop floor control has just gotten a lot more streamlined and wide-reaching thanks to a new partnership between Factivity and Resource Management Systems (RMS). The alliance extends Factivity's visibility, tracking and control capabilities across the globe. A leader in Preactor training and installation services in the U.S., Factivity is now uniquely positioned to provide Preactor services in the UK and Europe. RMS, a world leader in finite scheduling software, brings 14 years of experience and expertise as a Gold Solutions Provider to the partnership. Its Preactor solution integrates seamlessly with Factivity's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to provide up-to-the-minute shop floor management and machine monitoring. For more information on the partnership between these two industry leaders, visit http://www.factivityrms.com/.

According to a "Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry" article, "An effective manufacturing execution system can help drive quality and productivity improvements." More concretely, it can provide the following tangible benefits:

  • Process and training improvements that result from the early detection of problems can "increase yield by more than 10 percent."
  • "Minimizing non-value-added activities such as paperwork, rework and redundant checks can boost throughput by almost 40 percent and slash cycle time by nearly 25 percent."
  • "MES-related process improvements can also reduce field failures by almost 70 percent."

By joining forces, Factivity and RMS can now offer the largest breadth of Preactor and add-on MES product offerings, support services and technical staffing in the world. The world's leading range of PC-based scheduling and planning systems, Preactor is a fully interactive, easy-to-use decision support tool that is designed to balance demand with capacity. It provides managers with the ability to model and plan for the complexities of the real world on the factory floor.

"Resource Management Systems first impressed us in 2006 when they were awarded the title of UK Partner of the Year 2006 by Preactor International. It just so happens that's the same year we received top honors at the Annual Preactor North American Conference," explains John Leibert, President of Factivity. "Since then, they've continued to impress us, so when an opportunity to collaborate with them presented itself, we jumped at it. We look forward to this collaborative opportunity to expand our reach to Europe and the UK."
