Top marks for disposition management system
Herzogenrath near Aachen, 05.06.2018 – The DISKOVER SCO scheduling management system from SCT GmbH has once again been awarded the “Seal of Approval for Sales Planning/Inventory Management” by the German Association for Materials Management, Purchasing and Logistics (BMEnet GmbH). The test results achieved top scores with 100% fulfillment of the mandatory criteria defined by the BME (299) and 81% of the optional criteria (58), resulting in an overall degree of fulfillment of 97%.
“If there were benchmark lists for scheduling management systems – as there are for consumer goods – DISKOVER SCO would lead the best lists by far,” says Andreas Capellmann, Managing Director of SCT GmbH, confidently. “Our software offers the most comprehensive feature set compared to the competition and has now been officially confirmed, making it ideal for achieving the best scheduling results.”
“Congratulations on the excellent result!” said Andreas Richter, who is responsible for awarding the BMEnet seal of approval at the BME, when he presented SCT GmbH with the test report and certificate. There is currently no other company that has been confirmed by the BME to have an even remotely comparable range of functions.
Dr. Bernd Reinecke, also Managing Director of SCT GmbH, confirms that such a complete package, which leaves almost nothing to be desired, cannot be created from nothing and that many man-years of work have gone into it: “Based on research work at RWTH Aachen University, DISKOVER has been continuously developed for over 20 years and has now reached a level that even the experts at BME consider only a few areas of the criteria to be in need of improvement.”
The DISKOVER SCO software suite is therefore probably the most powerful advanced planning and scheduling system (APS system) on the market. DISKOVER SCO helps companies to systematically optimize their supply chain from procurement, production and logistics to distribution. Specifically, the Advanced Planning and Scheduling System from SCT GmbH helps to optimize inventories, delivery readiness and on-time delivery, lead and replenishment times, capacity utilization as well as forecasting, planning and scheduling parameters in ERP systems.
Forecast values and scheduling proposals in DISKOVER SCO enable companies to accelerate and automate their planning and scheduling processes. With DISKOVER SCO’s simulation options, the effects of different logistics strategies can be simulated without risk before they are implemented. In many cases, this results in a rationalization potential of between 35 % and 55 %.
The seal of approval from the German Association for Materials Management, Purchasing and Logistics (BME) is awarded to software solutions that offer integrative solutions for optimizing purchasing and logistics. The test is carried out on the basis of a comprehensive catalog of criteria drawn up by the BME, which formulates clearly defined requirements for procurement management solutions. Purchasing decision-makers and users use the BME seal of approval to verify their software selection.
