WAM Systems, which created the Picaso supply chain system, has been chosen by
global drug delivery and specialty pharmaceutical company Banner Pharmacaps,
Inc., to support its process and tool-set improvement initiative. The Picaso
system is the key element of the initiative, whose focus encompasses
production scheduling, operational visibility, collaboration, and efficiency.
The Picaso Supply Chain Planning Solution is a fully integrated suite of
planning and optimization modules that was designed to meet process
manufacturers' specific requirements. The system will integrate with Banner
Pharmacaps' ERP/MRP systems and support real-time scheduling, collaborating,
and reporting. Picaso's Supply Chain Event Monitor, Demand Planning,
Production Scheduling, Procurement Planning, Customer Service Workstation,
Inventory Targeting, and Sales & Operation modules will be used.
A multistage installation process will be employed for the
operational-improvement initiative. The initiative will concentrate on
improving visibility; reducing cycle times and working capital; eliminating
redundancy in information management; improving customer focus and
collaboration; and improving labscheduling management.
"We are pleased to be able to support Banner Pharmacaps in its efforts to
improve operational efficiency," WAM Systems CEO, Jack Weiss, stated. "By
working closely with their team, we believe that our business process
expertise combined with the flexibility of Picaso will enable them to quickly
realize the refinements that are the focus of their efforts."
