ANADIGICS chooses software solution to aid planning

Supply Chain Consultants (SCC), the designer and supplier of the Zemeter Suite of supply chain management (SCM) software products, announced a contract with ANADIGICS to provide and implement the Zemeter Sales & Operations Planning software solution.

"We selected Zemeter S&OP because we required an easy-to-use, robust planning solution that would help us meet an ever-increasing demand for our products," said Gerry Groundwater, vice president and chief information officer at ANADIGICS. "In addition, Zemeter helps our sales force and operations with improved Available to Promise (ATP) capability which is clearly very important in meeting customer needs."

The ANADIGICS implementation of Zemeter Sales & Operations Planner will make it possible to select and synthesize information from multiple sources, and analyze and report demand with greater accuracy.

"A high-growth company like ANADIGICS is a perfect application for the advanced features and functionality of Zemeter S&OP," said Harpal Singh, chief executive officer of Supply Chain Consultants. "It is always exciting to work with a company like ANADIGICS who is a market leader and a pioneer in their industry."

Zemeter S&OP provides a wide spectrum of product functionality including demand planning, inventory planning, finite scheduling, production optimization, margin optimization, and business intelligence. The ANADIGICS deployment uses all of these Zemeter software components.

The Zemeter software suite uses a friendly Microsoft environment, and increases supply chain visibility that helps manufacturers gain control of the supply chain and create a strategic business advantage.
