Testimonials
“The accuracy of current and projected capacity utilisation provided valuable information for production to feedback to the Sales team. For example, production can now identify a specific window when it knows it can comfortably beat the industry average for a certain product, and for how long. On time delivery performance is up from 80% to 95% while machine utilisation has been increased from 75 to 92%. "
