Works in conjunction with a third-party manufacturing execution system

Do Not Ignore Your Shop Floor Operations During An Enterprise Resource Planning Implementation.

Use manufacturing management from i2 to supplement enterprise resource planning and get the most from your investment.

i2 Manufacturing Management works in conjunction with a third-party manufacturing execution system at the factory-floor level to support production execution as well as the tracking of production status, quality issues, and work-in-progress lots. This provides complete end-to-end visibility into order execution, non-conforming material, disposition, and returns.

i2 Manufacturing Management enables companies to boost customer service levels by improving manufacturing efficiency and lead times. Synchronized planning and execution leads to a significant reduction in cash-to-cash cycle times, procurement costs, and operating expenses.
