Intuitive inks OEM agreement with Webplan
Intuitive Advanced Analytics Offering Gives Small and Mid-size Manufacturers
a Competitive Advantage
Kirkland, Washington ? June 21, 2004 ?
Intuitive Manufacturing Systems, a leading provider of enterprise resource
planning software for small and medium-size manufacturers, announced today
it has formed a strategic original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
partnership with Webplan, a provider of comprehensive software and
services solutions for rapid response manufacturing which fills the gap
between planning and execution.
The resulting new Intuitive Advanced Analytics module provides
the critical solution manufacturers need to master the reality gap. By
automating and expediting the decision-making process that occurs between
planning and execution, Intuitive Advanced Analytics allows businesses to
rapidly view changes in supply and demand, propose and share action
alternatives and rank and score multiple "what-if" scenarios to make
effective decisions in real time ? eliminating the chaos and inefficiency
inherent in the more manual "people, paper, tools" approach. This analysis
simultaneously takes into account material and capacity constraints in all
plants, and results in a feasible plan for execution.
Due to the unique relationship between Intuitive and Webplan, Intuitive
Advanced Analytics supports a continuous flow of information in and
across multiple sites providing comprehensive, real-time insight and
visibility. In addition, the OEM relationship gives Intuitive the ability
to deliver these phenomenal tools at a reasonable price and without a
large implementation project. The module will be available in Intuitive
ERP 7.1 later this year.
?This is a phenomenal breakthrough. Our relationship with Webplan
provides Intuitive customers with multi-site planning, simulation, and
change management capabilities that are unmatched in the industry. These
capabilities give our customers a clear advantage over their competitors.?
said Chuck Gillam, president of Intuitive.
