Computer Generated Solutions Inc. (CGS) announces that legendary
leather outerwear producer Schott@ N.Y.C. (http://www.schottnyc.com
(http://www.schottnyc.com) ) has successfully implemented CGS'
Leadtec shop floor control (SFC) solution at its Elizabeth, New
Jersey manufacturing facility. The state-of-the-art production system
utilizes small computer terminals and barcode scanners at more than 50
operator workstations to record all production events and payroll
information as they occur in real-time. Schott expects the new system
to increase productivity, reduce order throughput time, and improve
overall plant efficiency.

According to President Roz Schott, "Our old piecework payroll system
was too cumbersome and it did not give us the accurate and timely
information we needed to manage our business. Leadtec eliminates much
of the non-productive employee time required in the old system and
empowers our operators be more productive. It also gives our managers
the information and visibility they need to manage the production
floor and make better informed and more timely business decisions."

Schott sewing operators use their Leadtec terminals to clock in and
out, scan work coupons, change jobs, request pay and performance
information, and as a coaching device to pace themselves and improve
their performance. This real-time feedback also provides managers with
increased visibility and production tracking capabilities needed to
more effectively streamline production flow and improve overall
efficiency.

"While we were initially concerned about how our people would react to
the new system, we quickly realized that our operators were motivated
by the ability to track their own numbers throughout the day and earn
more money," continued Schott. "We are already seeing productivity and
operational improvements from Leadtec and expect to achieve even more
over time. By putting needed information at our fingertips, it is also
helping us to find new and better ways to staff and equip each
operation. We have some cases where productivity has increased by
40%."

Following a brief installation and training period, the new system
went live at Schott early this year.

"We applaud Schott for achieving these significant improvements in
just a short period of time," noted Jim Hoerig, Vice President of
Manufacturing Solutions at CGS. "We are pleased to play a role in
helping this impressive company improve the competitiveness and
flexibility of its domestic manufacturing operations. We look forward
to contributing to the continued progress and achievements at Schott."

leadership of new generations of the Schott family. Product lines and
