MAPICS And Georgia Tech To Host Forum On World-Class Manufacturing
MAPICS, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM: MAPX), a leading global provider of extended ERP, CRM and SCM solutions exclusively for manufacturers, announced that MAPICS executive, Harold Cavallaro will lead an executive roundtable, "Fulfilling the Promise of World-class Manufacturing", Thursday September 18. This event, sponsored in conjunction with IBM and CISTECH, a MAPICS affiliate, will be held at Georgia Tech's Manufacturing Research Center.
The forum will connect business decision makers with the foremost industry experts and innovators. During the session, MAPICS' Cavallaro, along with other experts from Georgia Tech, will discuss the trends, directions and cultural, as well as managerial and operational inhibitors that challenge manufactures around the globe. Participants will learn why today's manufacturing imperatives require new business models that are responsive to customer, supply chain and internal demands.
"New manufacturing strategies to harness the real potential of your enterprise require today's business systems perform leaner, more agile, and more tightly integrated than ever before," explains Cavallaro, vice president of strategic services for MAPICS. "Couple this with increased customer demands, more product configurations, and higher levels of system complexity and you can easily understand why achieving world-class levels of performance in manufacturing has become mandatory."
"Achieving these key success factors will help the Mantzis Group continue its growth," said Mike Dolan, vice president and general manager, international operations for MAPICS. "Our consultants have significant experience working with customers in Australia, Europe and the U.S. to solve key business challenges. This has resulted in a number of our customers being recognized for their world-class results, such as Canterbury Windows, Finewrap, ABM Plastics and PBR International. We look forward to working closely with the Mantzis team to help the company meet its objectives and continue on a successful path to further enhance its position as a leader in the home furnishings industry."
