Ted: I represent a product known as OTTO (for on time orders) that may fit your requirements. If you have files containing customer orders, bill of materials, shop orders (even if they are for weekly, monthly or quarterly quantities) and purchase orders, OTTO will help. The software interfaces to BPCS, installs in less than 45 minutes, is instantly operational, pinpoints the manufacturing and purchasing priorities for either 10 days or weeks and normally results in service levels in excess of 98%. To get a better view of OTTO's capabilities, its adherence to Dave Turbide's Reality-based Priority Management specifications and to learn about our free evaluation offer please visit our web site at www.systemspluscorp.com. We'll also be at the Las Vegas APICS Convention October 7 and 8 in booth 815. Stop by and see us if you are in the area.

Most of our planning is done using Excel, and is relatively resource intensive. Our products are very simple (~8 components, single level bills), our sales order delivery times are short (typically same week), and our purchasing lead times are long (typically 8-10 weeks). We are (relatively) comfortable with our inventory levels and with our service levels. However, we want to improve . . . 1> the amount of effort necessary to plan the manufacturing and procurement 2> the dependance on a few key people in the planning and procurement process. 3> the transparency of the process - meaning the ability of other departments (and eventually customers and suppliers) to know what is happening when. We are wary of the canned planning modules because . . . - training is an issue due to our old BPCS, and we have no internal knowledge - the care and feeding of the system required to support standard MRP/DRP seems onerous - the effort required to implement Can any of you suggest places (software, support) we might look to help with this? Thanks in advance . . .
