Multiple-producing divisions of high-quality wood office furniture utilize Configuration Solutions'
CS-Enterprise Series to configure 500-4,000 configured sales order line items per day at each division.
They also have interfaces to three order entry systems and two ERP systems. They have utilized
Configuration Solutions' "Capable-To-Promise" customer due date promising and critical path shop
floor scheduling for over eight years.
Their business case to acquire the CS-Enterprise system was simple: With an increasing number of
product options, they were losing market share to competitors. Because configuring every order
took so much manpower, they had limited the options on their product lines. Also, their existing
ERP system was too slow and cumbersome to support "lean manufacturing" initiatives.
