nMetric's 4C to Help AGM Business Solutions, LLC Customers Determine Capable to Build
THOMASTON, Ga.--Jan. 29, 2003--nMetric today announced that it is partnering with AGM Business Solutions (Thomaston, Ga.) to help smaller and mid-sized manufacturers determine, in advance, whether or not they are capable of building product in order to meet a delivery commitment. Using nMetric's(TM) 4C(TM), AGM clients and their partners will be sent alerts if problems in manufacturing or component delivery are foreseen to impact future schedules.
"Finally, mid-sized manufacturers can quickly determine if a new sales order request can meet a customer request date and then schedule the shop floor to do so," explains Gilbert Nieuwenhuis, president of AGM. "Using 4C's multi-line and multi-level Capable to Build abilities, mid-sized manufacturers can include multiple line items to be scheduled for a certain completion date. They can also explode the bill of materials for an end product to create schedules for all sub-assembly items that must also be built in order to produce the top-level item by a requested date.
"In addition," Nieuwenhuis adds, "our clients can institute instant individual and departmental messaging and collaboration regarding the status of work orders, shop operations, equipment availability and related resources availability. They can even automatically provide customers with updates on their orders."
"We look forward to partnering with AGM," reports Tom Carpenter, nMetric CEO. "They're offering their clients software solutions tailored to each client's needs, giving them the same edge as larger companies enjoy. 4C is integral to this total solution approach."
With nMetric 4C, orders are continuously monitored at every moment throughout the production process in real time to assure status and provide notification to all members in the supply chain if delivery expectations are not going to be met. When and if resources or demands change or might change, 4C attempts to resolve any problems that could affect delivery dates and/or proactively notifies all specified parties so they are aware and can plan accordingly. If there are prospective large shifts in plans or resources, users proactively use 4C to manually determine the impact of various "what-ifs" on present order dates in the queue. Management can then anticipate what the effects of each change will be before making them.
