Trakware's Executive Dashboard For Capacity Management and Planning Is Making Tracks With Custom/ETO Manufacturers
Executives and users have the ability to visually inspect critical manufacturing throughput performance of their business in real time.
Edmonton, Alberta (PRWEB) October 9, 2009 -- Trakware Systems Inc., a leading software company focused on business management solutions for custom / project-based, quote driven manufacturing , announced today that license sales for TRAKware Horizon capacity management and planning dashboard application have exceeded expectations with a new high value solution package launched only 1 month ago.
Horizon was initially put through the paces from east to west with existing customers, with Florida based HWI, Minnesota based Goebel Fixture and Colorado based High Country Millwork. The key goal was simple: allow customers to gain insight and make decisions the same day the Horizon tool is placed into production. From trending through to forecasting, capacity planning is the response to forecasts that ensures the integrity of business processes. Major benefits of using this dashboard tool include:
- Increased visibility of manufacturing capacity versus market demand;
- Providing insight into the individual and composite causes of process variation;
- Placing focus on adjustments required to deal with variables that impact profitable manufacturing throughput in the custom environment;
- Exploration of "What-If" forecasting models to visualize impact of pending sales on production and staffing capacity;
- Value quantification of new project opportunities under bid, related to work-center over/under capacity projection over time.
"As one of Trakware's first customers and longtime user, I've been happy with the system which has helped us in growing our company with controlled certainty." Stated Rick Mostert, President of F. C. WoodWorks Inc., based in Winnipeg Manitoba. "We really needed a quick and easy way to look at our total manufacturing picture, in real time, so that we could make the high level decisions required on a daily basis. TRAKware Horizon will absolutely allow us to visually manage our workflow to increase productivity through efficiency gains". Also among the quick to sign up for the new high value package was Trakware Systems' customer Laco Woodworks , located in Alabaster, Alabama.
