Preactor and DynaSys to sell combined demand and production planning and scheduling software

DynaSys will now be able to offer Preactor detailed production planning and scheduling as a complementary extension of its n.SKEP solution, which provides strategic and tactical supply chain planning. DynaSys says it will be able to meet the full requirements of company’s needing to address planning and scheduling issues at both the global supply chain and local shop floor level. Meanwhile, n.SKEP will be introduced by Preactor to its global partner network, comprising 300 partners, wherever there is interest in providing demand planning. Preactor CEO Mike Novels says: “There is great pressure in industry to compete with low cost economies by reducing costs and synchronising production with the supply chain. Best of breed products like n.SKEP and Preactor, that can be easily integrated with a manufacturer’s existing IT investment, are recognised by analysts around the world as one of the best way of achieving increased competitiveness. “This partnership will offer our customers the additional functionality that n.SKEP brings, such as detailed demand forecasting and supply chain planning. When added to Preactor’s detailed production planning and scheduling, this offers a complete solution for companies in the consumer packaged goods and other markets.”
