Under the agreement DCS eIntegration will co market and sell STG’s OPT Solution Suite, the original and most advanced Constraint based planning and scheduling system.
The agreement leverages the respective strengths of the two companies in realising competitive advantage for manufacturing industry. This partnership extends STG’s reach into key markets by leveraging DCS eIntegration’s deep industry presence and knowledge, enabling the companies to implement more comprehensive integrated solutions.
Together, DCS eIntegration and STG can now offer manufacturers an unparalleled total solution for e-business focused manufacturing, said STG President Dr Stephen Franks. This complete solution addresses the undoubted weak point of the entire e-supply chain, manufacturing. This initiative enables manufacturing operations to participate fully within the recently established e-commerce models for Business to Business and Business to Customer interaction, bringing immediate benefits through the rapid deployment of the required technology
The close integration of STG’s solutions with DCS eIntegration product and service offerings will allow manufacturers to optimise and synchronise their operations to meet their customers’ requirements. The solutions provided will enable manufacturers to target the rapid response required from production to implement a build-to-order business model, whilst also dramatically reducing the inventories required in operating a forecast driven operation. Management will also have real-time visibility of inventory and capacity so they can accurately predict and monitor performance, lead times and inventories. Companies implementing the solutions will expect to achieve increased return-on-assets resulting from significant reductions in finished goods and work-in-process inventories, while improving customer satisfaction.
By incorporating STG’s suite of products into our solution sets, we create more value for our customers by integrating supply chain, manufacturing execution, and ERP systems into total solutions, says Phil White, MD, DCS eIntegrations. These Web-enabled solutions propagate real time plant floor information through the entire supply chain, creating a dynamic manufacturing model that enables manufacturers to operate with a current and accurate view of their plant floor activities and inventories.
