The current trends in manufacturing are towards lowering inventory levels to reduce costs yet still being able to respond to shorter lead times to satisfy customer demand. Preactor offers a family of applications in around 30 languages ranging from mid and long term capacity planning to detailed scheduling. Typical benefits obtained by using Preactor include a 50 per cent reduction in inventory and work-in-progress, a 25 per cent increase in throughput and a 90 per cent increase in on-time delivery performance.

Preactor is designed for integration with existing legacy systems so implementation times are short and the total cost of ownership provides a return on investment in a few months, sometimes weeks.

Preactor International has a network of accredited companies located around the world that it works with to provide local implementation and support. This may be important for multinational companies wanting a common solution across multiple plants but supported in the local language.
