QAD Acquires Phenix Software Inc. to Bolster Its Advanced Scheduling Capabilities for Adaptive Enterprises
QAD Inc., a leading provider of next-generation manufacturing and supply chain solutions in the cloud, has closed the acquisition of Phenix Software Inc. to help manufacturers improve productivity and accelerate factory performance. The solution, now called QAD Advanced Scheduling, optimizes production decisions by determining what products to make on each production line in the best possible sequence to minimize changeovers, optimize inventory, and align cost and service goals.
To improve competitiveness and profitability, manufacturers seek technology to become more efficient, agile and resilient. QAD Advanced Scheduling helps in these areas by scheduling related products together, in the best sequence, with visibility to inventories, capacity, product attributes and changeover costs. This improves the synchronization of manufacturing processes, resource utilization and on-time delivery, while also helping to reduce inventory levels and waste.
