Sescoi to work with Preactor

France-headquartered Sescoi, author of WorkPLAN Enterprise ERP, is to work in partnership with the UK's simulation specialist, Preactor.

The pair will work together in a number of international markets, in Northern Europe, Asia and the Americas.

More than 2,500 companies around the world are using Preactor to schedule and plan their production processes, it is claimed. The scheduling package has been designed to interface with ERP systems, complementing rather than duplicating their capabilities.

Preactor 400 APS models the shopfloor and its resources in detail, and the scheduling process is initiated by order transactions received from the WorkPLAN Enterprise scheduler model. Operations can be linked and overlapped to reflect real shopfloor activity, with Gantt chart displays showing the overall picture of demand, capacity, resource usage and completion time. This enables companies to optimise the use of their resources and forecast realistic and achievable delivery dates in the dynamic environment of the shopfloor.

By combining both systems, it is said that companies will be able to gain full control of their entire manufacturing processes, winning more profitable business, optimising the efficiency and utilisation of machinery and, additionally, delivering high quality parts on time.
