HOLLAND, Mich. (March 14, 2005) - 2THINK, LLC of Holland, Michigan working with its client, Trendway Corporation, also of Holland, launched its most recent advanced planning and scheduling application called Advanced Order Planning™ (AOP) with great success and dramatically improved operational performance.

"We had three objectives with AOP; 1) create level schedules over a 5 to 10 day production horizon systematically, not haphazardly, in a build to order business, 2) align material delivery with build start dates, and 3) provide ability to revise build dates based on customer request without order cancellation and re-entry. Within six weeks of a near flawless implementation all objectives were met. We are faster, more productive than ever before and work in process inventory is down significantly" said Bill Bundy, Vice President of Operation, Trendway Corporation.
