Filip Loučka, CEO of Krnovské opravny a strojírny, about the Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) ERP:
“We needed to replace an outdated information system that was no longer keeping up with the demands of modern production and that was slowing us down in processes that had become obsolete. Infor SyteLine appealed to us mainly because of its ability to integrally cover both basic ERP and advanced planning and production scheduling. It has helped us to significantly refine our data and thus make production more efficient.”
Ondřej Bezruč, Deputy General Director of Krnovské opravny a strojírny, about the Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) APS:
“Through implementing the APS planning methodology, we have significantly improved our inventory turnover and reduced the amount of funds we have tied up in inventory. The APS planning methodology also contributed significantly to the 20% increase in turnover we have achieved without having to buy new machines.”
