Re: Sequencing in Automotive Supply Industry

[bbenton@xxxxxxxx]

Igor,

The eBPCS solution does include an application called Release Management System
(RMS) which is designed for the automotive supply industry.  A component of the
RMS solution is Sequenced Shipping.  Sequenced Shipping is designed support
requirements in which OEM Manufacturers require components delivered (and loaded
on the truck) in a sequence such that as they are removed from the truck, they
will match the production sequence and require minimal (or no) additional
handling or storage.

I would be happy to discuss this with you in more detail if you desire.  My
phone number is below.  I will research the document you reference and see if I
can find out what SSA Portfolio SEQUENCE is referring to.

Thank you

Subject:  Sequencing in Automotive Supply Industry



Dear all,

Automotive supply industry is specific by using sequencingas the way of
handling components to produce the right items required by vehicle
manufacturer. Core BPCS does not support sequencing (as I know). So this part
of manufacturing process is usually (or needs to be) solved by using
third-part systems.

Lately I found on ssagt.com site the document named "SSA Portfolio Solution
for the automotive supply industry". The document contains information about
the product called SSA Portfolio SEQUENCE. I never heard about such BPCS
product.

Does anybody have experience with SSA Portfolio SEQUENCE product or is there
any place where info about SEQUENCE product can be found?

I would appreciate any info.
