Waterloo Manufacturing Software Announces Launch of Redesigned Production Scheduling and Advanced Planning and Scheduling Web Site
March 9, 2009
Wellesley, MA
Waterloo Manufacturing Software today announced the launch of its redesigned web site at http://www.waterloo-software.com.
Not only has the redesign made site navigation much easier and more intuitive, but it features greatly expanded content. This content allows visitors to learn more about production scheduling and advanced planning and scheduling in manufacturing environments.
An entire new section of the web site explores how better planning and scheduling fits with related technologies. Some of the technologies explored include finite capacity scheduling, master production scheduling, and capacity planning. In addition, the new content weighs in on an age old question: What exactly constitutes a good production schedule?
The revised web site also includes the launching of a new production scheduling blog. The blog draws on the twenty years of production scheduling experience of Waterloo’s founders. Topics addressed on the blog will revolve around how to best select and implement production scheduling software. In addition, the web site retains Waterloo’s award winning application article and white papers. The application articles document in detail how companies in a wide range of different industries implemented Waterloo’s production scheduling and advanced planning and scheduling software. The application articles then document the quantifiable business benefits achieved by those implementations. The white papers deal with relevant topics such as how to justify planning and scheduling software, how planning and scheduling software can be used in engineer to order environments, and how planning and scheduling software can shorten lead times and improve customer service.
