STREAMLINE YOUR FACTORY AND SUPPLIER OPERATIONS
Do Not Ignore Your Shop Floor Operations During An ERP Implementation. Use TFM To Supplement ERP And Get The Most From Your Investment.
 In a global environment marked by fluctuating demand profiles, distributed supply sources, customers’ expectations of rapid response, and an expanding product footprint, there is an ever-growing need to improve factory performance, which is the primary source of creating value for customers. Many challenges impede the achievement of enhanced factory operations, however, including managing short product life cycles, evaluating alternatives to manage supply chain risks, minimizing liabilities, and handling multi-mode production—all while trying to achieve lean operations.

"Building a long-term relationship made sense. Using i2’s services, we believed that we could achieve a total return on investment. Our project goals were to shorten the planning cycle, to increase responsiveness, and to utilize "what-if" analyses. We have achieved those primary goals ... We’re tremendously happy with i2 solutions, and I think we got more than our dollar value out of our implementation. There are a lot of other miscellaneous benefits that we’ve encountered. I don’t think I can possibly name them all."
