About Us
Supply Chain Systems, Inc. was founded in 1995 when supply chain concepts were barely understood. While working for Dow Chemical it became obvious that there was too much focus on functional, regional and even business unit excellence. The opportunity was to have a more corporate global perspective. Metrics drive behavior. The existing metrics caused actions that were counter to corporate profits. The businesses within Dow needed to be more data driven with faster, more timely information. Organizations needed to be restructured. Inventories needed to be managed better.
New software products were making it to the market for forecasting, MRP, DRP and production scheduling. I pioneered the use of commercial production scheduling software at Dow with great success. It transformed businesses. Later, SAP came onto the scene with truly global solutions. The combined value and the power of the concepts and technology became obvious. As a result Supply Chain Systems was launched to promote the most powerful combination: concepts, policies, standardized procedures, automation and advanced planning tools.
Workshops on advanced planning systems (APS) were given across the U.S., sponsored by the Process Industry SIG for APICS. Articles were published and presentations given on APS at international APICS conferences.
Our customer base includes aircraft, chemical, pharmaceutical, satellite, food, publishing, agricultural and paint industries.
More recently it was determined that most scheduling technology is too expensive for small and mid-sized companies. The solution was to develop some Excel-based scheduling tools that allow these companies to compete with the largest global companies. You owe it to yourself and all your employees to understand how these tools are critical to your success. Please take the time to understand why this technology is necessary and the best investment you can make.
