Production planning and scheduling - Manufacturer of high-quality tools and components optimises visibility and control of its recourses

摘要

Established in 1975 following the sell-off of Plessey's tool room, Preformtools is now widely recognised as a leader by companies requiring high-quality tools and components in the medical, high-pressure fuel and hydraulics sectors. Often working to single-micron tolerances, Preformtools undertakes a wide range of subcontract work, right up to providing fully managed solutions that include R&D. The company's success depends on having the right combination of machine resource and human resource when required, which is why it bought a planning and scheduling system.
