New IMS Software Leads to Live Inventory
February 26, 2003

Plane Plastics will be implementing a new business software called Integrated Manufacturing Solutions (IMS). The entire IMS system was designed and developed by the Plane Plastics e-business team in-house. The new software integrates all of Plane Plastics' manufacturing, sales, shipping, inventory and business departments. IMS will allow website users, as well as the sales office, to see if parts are in stock. Customers will know if the parts they are ordering are in stock or need to be produced.

Once an order is placed through the website or sales module, it will immediately be viewable by inventory staff as an order to be filled. If there are parts in the order that have to be produced, the production floor will see the order instantaneously. The new module will result in decreased lead time and less paperwork, eventually leading to 24-hour processing of most orders. The IMS system is just another way that Plane Plastics is working to better serve our growing customer base.

The Plane Plastics website will be undergoing maintenance beginning Friday, February 28 while the new updates and features of IMS are added to the website. IMS is expected to be up and fully running Saturday, March 1.
