"Orbitform's customers demand shorter cycle times, on-time delivery, cost efficiency and the highest quality product, all at the same time," explains Ray Immelman, Vice President at TOC Center. "We are confident that Orbitform will get boosts in all these performance areas rapidly, better serving its customers.

"Our Dynamic Flow Management (DFM) technology offers the first workable solution to the problem of planning and controlling fast moving, highly variable engineered-to-order environments. Rather than bending traditional ERP models out of shape to fit the unique operating characteristics, DFM was developed to meet real industry needs, such as seamless shop floor collaboration, business level coordination and laser-like focus on variability."
