Taylor Scheduling Software Partners with Provia Software
EDMONTON, ALBERTA September 16, 2003
Taylor Scheduling Software Inc. (Taylor), a leading provider of advanced production scheduling solutions for plant-level manufacturing execution management, today announces a partnership with Provia Software with the signing of a formal O.E.M. agreement. This agreement brings formality to an operating relationship that has proven value through a first successful implementation.
Taylor's planning and scheduling software compliments Provia's supply chain execution software solutions to provide an optimized Supply Chain management solution. Provia provides the customer with tools to manage the "dynamically changing environment of distribution and transportation centres in real time" and Taylor provides the customer with scheduling capability to ensure that the work is on time and in place for the distribution and transportation groups to maximize the efforts of the distribution center staff.
The benefits of this combined expertise are that the customer is able to ensure on-time delivery and improve performance from the moment they go live. Performance improvement is achieved by the Taylor Scheduler's ability to properly and automatically sequence and optimize the work in the distribution center. This includes all of the pick, pack and ship work, as well as optimizing complex work that requires value-added services to ensure that the raw materials, inventory balance and finished goods are in place and accounted for in real-time; a critical function when it comes to loading the carriers in the reverse order of the deliveries so that the last in is the first out. Goods that were handled time and again are now handled once in the warehouse and once on delivery.
