Waterloo Manufacturing Software Releases Version 5.2 of TACTIC

Wellesley, MA, May 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Waterloo Manufacturing Software announces the release of version 5.2 of its TACTIC software. TACTIC is a Windows based production scheduling and advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system. TACTIC is designed to integrate with manufacturing business systems, to enhance their value, or to operate as a stand-alone production scheduling, order promising, and capacity planning system. TACTIC features a sophisticated what-if capability. This capability allows manufacturers to quickly generate and choose alternate schedules, while considering the limited or finite capabilities of their material, tools, labor and machines.

Manufacturers use TACTIC to consistently quote competitive lead times and ensure on-time delivery without excessive inventory, underutilized equipment, high expediting costs, or inefficient labor. When customer changes or shop floor problems occur, they use TACTIC to assess the impact and to minimize any negative consequences.

Waterloo Manufacturing Software develops and markets TACTIC to discrete part manufacturing companies worldwide. The principals of Waterloo Manufacturing Software have been developing and helping companies implement high quality manufacturing software for more than fifteen years. TACTIC and associated technical support services are offered to manufacturing companies from offices located in Boston, Cleveland and Los Angeles.
