Filed in archive News on March 8, 2009

Profit Point announced early this week that it has been selected by Rohm and Haas to integrate its scheduling processes with the company's ERP data warehouse, Trading Markets reported. The company, which last reported nearly $9 billion in annual sales, produces innovative products for nine industries worldwide through a network of more than 100 manufacturing, technical research and customer service sites. Optimizing and supporting the production and distribution scheduling across this network is a complex and ever-changing process.

"Rohm and Haas has a history of improving our operations to enhance customer service levels and reduce cost," said Dave Shaw, the company's Business Process Manager for MFG and Supply Chain. "Production scheduling, which entails constant change to meet demand, is one of the toughest challenges in the supply chain. In the past, the lack of a reliable data interface has limited our ability to react quickly and with a high degree of confidence in our results. Profit Point's Data Interface software has given us near real-time access to highly reliable data, so we can respond quickly and know that our plan is right."

"Rohm and Haas is a recognized leader in the chemicals industry with a reputation for supply chain excellence," said Jim Piermarini, Profit Point's CEO. "We have supported their scheduling processes for years. So, it was clear that the next evolution was to directly connect their optimization software to the date store using our Data Interface product."
