1.        Computer automatically calculates plant standards based upon machine type and product in terms  of stop type and “mean time” to repair - - - - therefore, all machine operator assignments will be based upon their product mix to arrive at the correct “percent of job assignment” - - - - The green and red bars help achieve increased performance because it’s a “level playing field” for all concerned.

2.         The system provides the necessary information, both in graphical and text formats, to allow plant optimization in terms of labor cost vs. production efficiency - - - - thus, the user can calculate  precisely the most economical balance to arrive at maximum savings.

3.         Accurate information is provided on a timely basis for any user-specified time period, i.e., hourly, shift, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly - - - - - again presented in graphical and text formats.

4.         CC+I uses a distributive type hardware and software architecture which prevents DATA LOSS in the event the host network server should not be available for whatever reason - - - - all of CC+I’s technology offerings are non-proprietary and open-ended in terms of flexibility and expansion.

5.         CC+I provides commonality of the same (standard) system in multiple plants where a mixture of older and latest machinery technology exists - - - - big assist to division management - - - - in comparing plant performance among multiple plants from their office PC.

6.         CC+I offers the basic infrastructure to begin with any manufacturing department or process and expand in the future without sacrificing the initial investment - - - - the word integration in CC+I's name is really true and meaningful - - - - CC+I systems are/can be integrated into other existing plant systems.

7.         CC+I’s DSS provides outstanding easy-to-use, multiple purpose, statistically correct graphical analysis tools - - - - tremendous benefit in pinpointing problem areas and quickly arriving at valid corrective action procedures.  Includes on-line help screens for user training.

8.         CC+I has outstanding process knowledge and service - - - - as demonstrated and verified with CC+I’s customer base.

9.         Computer automatically calculates FUTURE percent job assignments based on anticipated styling layouts.

10.         By using ACTION GROUPS, the user can easily measure sample and/or experimental results to compare multiple variables.  In the textile industry, different yarn suppliers or different slasher size formulations could be compared.  For food processing and beverage, developmental processes or products could be compared.

11.         CC+I exhibits the willingness to go the second mile with the user on any new ideas or requirements involving other manufacturing processes - - - - as demonstrated and verified with CC+I’s customer base.

Summary Statement

Justification and payback is based upon having the right 21^st century tool in supervision and management hands to increase production efficiency and quality at the most economical cost.
