Genius@ Solutions, a leading provider of manufacturing and enterprise planning software (MRP/ERP) solutions for small to midsize companies, is proud to announce the release of their new integrated manufacturing planning software solution with Genius Manufacturing and PlanetTogether.

Manufacturers of all sizes struggle to produce high quality products tailored to customer needs and to deliver them quickly and reliably. Adjusting production schedules is a critical part of delivering for customers while minimizing operational costs. Changes are constant: rush orders, change orders, delays in material supplies, equipment problems, and labor absenteeism. How can small companies with limited resources cope?

A new software solution is available to help manufacturers simplify this long-standing challenge. Genius Solutions, a leading provider of manufacturing software for custom, engineer-to-order, make-to-order, and assemble-to-order environments, now offers a production scheduling module based on PlanetTogether's leading mid-market advanced planning and scheduling solution.

According to Jim Cerra, President and CEO of PlanetTogether Inc., "This represents an opportunity for smaller companies to increase productivity and customer service while making life easier for their production management team. Genius' easy to use system combined with graphical planning tools mean the combined solution will be easy to deploy and powerful enough to solve even the toughest scheduling problems."

"We continually look for innovative ways to help small manufacturers to improve competitiveness at a reasonable, sustainable investment," says Peter Spitzer, VP Development and CTO of Genius@. "With the addition of PlanetTogether to our integrated suite, Genius@ Manufacturing allows manufacturers to tackle critical areas of planning and scheduling to drive cost savings, high levels of customer service and on-time delivery" notes Spitzer.
