Re: BPCS 6.1mm performance and the AS/400

Well, I am sorry you had that experience. I have spoken to many other
clients who have had very good experiences with our current sizing guide.

As regards the BPCS programs being poorly written, I certainly hope you are
calling in BMRs to get the performance corrected, just as you would with any
other type of processing error.

Thanks
