Combined solution targets manufacturers seeking to accelerate innovation and new product introductions by integrating manufacturing operations with process planning applications

(LONG BEACH, CA – February 3, 2010) – Apriso®, a leading provider of manufacturing software solutions for sustained operational excellence, today announced Isuzu has selected and implemented Apriso’s FlexNet to manage production of their KD (knock-down) parts at overseas factories. The implementation is now live, after being put into operation in four months.

“We needed to improve both business processes and IT systems to adapt faster to increased distribution challenges. Apriso now plays a critical role in helping Isuzu to reduce time before shipping, decrease inventory and improve profits,” says Kenichiro Yabuki, Group Leader, Overseas Information System Group, System and Business Restructure Promotion Department at Isuzu.

Isuzu is using Apriso’s FlexNet, a manufacturing and logistics operations management system, to automatically obtain distribution status information of KD parts from existing systems. Differences between planned and actual results are analyzed and acted upon immediately, helping to improve operational efficiency, quality and customer satisfaction.

Isuzu has improved visibility to planned and actual KD parts distribution at each of their plants with Apriso – from the shop floor to distribution. Through this expanded visibility, Isuzu’s processes have been enhanced, resulting in greater overseas production efficiency and profits.

NSSOL, an Apriso partner, implemented the solution at Isuzu in just under four months. Now the new system is fully operational, it is possible to check the distribution status of KD parts from a single terminal, instead of three terminals with the old system. By getting actual information in almost real-time, users see delivery delays immediately – and can take immediate action to remedy a situation.

“We can improve the accuracy of vessel stow plans with detailed distribution information on when and where KD parts are arriving. We can also develop more effective plans to bring standardization and efficiency to our business processes by analyzing the differences between planned and actual results,” says Yasuyoshi Nishigaki, System and Business Restructure Promotion Department at Isuzu.

Isuzu is now considering additional Apriso applications to manage arrival information at overseas factories. Apriso’s Business Process Management (BPM) based systems can help improve efficiency and accuracy of Isuzu’s existing shipping systems.

“We are very pleased with the success Isuzu has already achieved with Apriso and NSSOL, having successfully completed the first phase of their operational excellence plan,” commented Gerry Fosnick, General Manager APAC Region, Apriso. “The success of this deployment is expected to enable continued process improvements across Isuzu’s operations, helping them to expand industry best-practices throughout their manufacturing operations.”

The Artemus Group, a privately-held company that specializes in transportation software applications and training for all aspects of the shipping industry, announced today that it will be hosting a “Master the Art of the Letter of Credit” course on February 4, 2010 in Norfolk VA to help exporters get paid in days versus weeks or months.

Heading up the workshop is Danielle Austin of the Export Trade Associates, a Letter of Credit (LC) specialist, who says that LC courses taught by banks do not have the day-to-day experience of an exporter. “The key advantage is after exporters take this course, they are no longer at the mercy of their customer, their freight forwarder or their issuing bank,” said Austin. “Letters of Credit are what most companies struggle with when trying to secure sales and ship internationally. These documents can be a very frustrating process, as well as financially painful if the exporter loses 100% security with a single discrepancy.”

“I teach this course from more than 15 years of experience and with a benchmark of how to get paid in 6-10 days from ship-day,” said Austin. “I can show exporters how to take control of this process – the learning curve for letters of credit is long and the bank fees are high. When exporters walk away from this course, they know how to: read and understand a Letter of Credit; get paid in days by reducing their days sales outstanding (DSO); reduce or eliminate discrepancies; decrease documentation preparation fees; communicate better with their banks and customers; extend terms with their customers; and get paid “at sight” and limit bank fees.”

According to Steve Pniewski, president of The Artemus Group, the banks subject many Exporters to unnecessary fees for errors and incompleteness and it takes much longer to prepare a Letter of Credit without previous knowledge. “We are the only training company providing this type of Master the Art of the Letter of Credit workshop. Most exporters have been relying on the banks until this point. Letters of Credit are becoming more popular to use and they ensure everyone gets paid, including the bank and the customer shipping the product.”

All participants will receive a certificate of completion, an international commercial terms (INCOTerms) chart, resource links, and reference materials and will walk away with the ability to create their own LC Instructions. One participant who attended Danielle Austin’s past course said, “This seminar was direct, applicable materials & instructions provided ‘immediate’ methods that can (and should) be used to alleviate risks & minimize cost.” Jean Hendrix, Credit Manager, ASC Volvo. Another person said, “This training has taken me to the ‘next level’ needed to use LCs to reduce risk and DSO for our company,” Cyndi Wilson, Credit Analyst, Gilbarco.
