Available as separate modules, these two manufacturing systems integrate to give you the power to optimize your planning and scheduling. No other system offers the level of automation and the flexibility of C.I.M.S. The Production Scheduling Module is an easy-to-use, finite capacity scheduler for process and repetitive manufacturing. It has the capability and the advanced technology to generate highly optimized and feasible schedules for your manufacturing process. With C.I.M.S., you can easily determine the most optimal solution by quickly running "what-if" scenarios. C.I.M.S. production schedules are generated automatically at high speed using your defined rules and parameters. State-of-the-art techniques improve product availability and reduce manufacturing costs, yet still allow total flexibility. This easy-to-use system provides expert scheduling power to anyone in your organization. C.I.M.S. uses your preferences, production line characteristics, capacities, production rates, changeover limitations, cost and time factors, minimum run times, maximum inventory levels and other rules and parameters. It quickly analyzes all possibilities to generate the optimal solution. Best of all, when your sales demand or inventories change rapidly or unexpectedly, you can react instantly to regenerate a completely new and appropriate schedule in seconds. C.I.M.S. uses your constraints, rules, parameters and preferences to automatically generate optimal production and raw material schedules. By implementing C.I.M.S. Production Scheduling & Raw Materials Planner, you can quickly achieve measurable improvements and realize these key benefits:
					Create detailed schedules automatically			Improve supply to sales
					Improve utilization of storage floor space, manpower and production equipment			Save management time, decision making, number crunching and paperwork
					Work with existing constraints			Help reduce manufacturing costs
					Use your preferences			Generate packaging and raw material orders
					Verify correctness of all material orders			Track raw materials received
				With CIMS Raw Material Planner, you can quickly generate packaging and raw materials orders. The raw materials ordering system supports JIT (Just In Time) and minimum/maximum ordering. Use it to manage your materials inventory and place orders for suppliers such as containers, bottles, cans, sugar, carbon dioxide, wraps, trays, lids, concentrate and other materials. Orders can be changed manually to add comments or other information and transmit them to your suppliers. If your production schedule changes, you can regenerate appropriate raw material orders instantly. C.I.M.S. ensures there will always be enough raw materials to keep your production lines running, preventing downtime. It even lets you track raw material receipts. "C.I.M.S. is the best logistics and inventory software I've seen. It integrates demand forecasting, inventory control and management, production planning, raw material releases and full goods transport into a single complete management tool. C.I.M.S. helps us efficiently manage inventory and logistics across our entire system." Gary Burck Plant Manager Pepsi-Cola Company Howell, MI
