| Live on STRATIX Enterprise Solution - Jan
2007 |
|
| Lafayette Steel &
Aluminum, an Oscar Winski Company, with headquarters in Lafayette,
Indiana, is now live on Invera's enterprise product STRATIX
with their Steel Service Center and Aluminum Fabrication divisions. The
company has two main locations in Lafayette and Indianapolis, Indiana. |
|
| |
|
| The location in Indianapolis, Indiana which stocks
and processes carbon and aluminum coils has implemented the STRATIX Flat
Rolled Production modules that provide additional functionality that is
specific to processes such as slitting, cut-to-length and multi-strand blanking.
The Aluminum Fabrication division now makes full use of the STRATIX multi-step
production system for fabrication, bending, and cutting operations. |
|
| "This is the smoothest implementation
I have been through. We had a fantastic core team to implement
STRATIX and the pleasure of working with a software company
that responded to our needs quickly". |

|
| |
| Much of the success of the project can be attributed
to the Lafayette core team, headed by Project Coordinator Alex Bluestein.
"Our team prepared diligently to ensure all of our business procedures
were defined, understood, and trained with our end users. STRATIX was very
comprehensive in its ability to handle our different business operations
yet provide a product that is flexible and easy to use". |
| |
| A great leap forward for Lafayette was the transition
from their paper-driven legacy system to the on-line warehouse operations
available within STRATIX. On their prior system the shipping & production
office had multiple route bins and scheduling boards filled with paperwork.
A quick walk around that same office today and the route bins and scheduling
boards are now empty, replaced with STRATIX on-line functions. |

stated "This is the smoothest implementation I have been through. We
had a fantastic core team to implement STRATIX and the pleasure of working
with a software company that responded to our needs quickly". |

product, is a real-time integrated enterprise system to maximize productivity
and profitability with comprehensive functionality for multi-step processing
and extensive facilities for product tracibility and audit control. |
