LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 2000

Developer of Powerful AMD Athlon Processor To Use iCollaboration To

Enable Consistent Planning Across Manufacturing Facilities Worldwide

Adexa(TM), Inc. a provider of collaborative planning solutions critical to e-business, today announced that AMD (NYSE: AMD), a supplier of integrated circuits for the world of personal and networked computing and communications, will use Adexa's collaborative planning solution, iCollaboration, to help manage increasing product demand and ensure consistent planning across all of the company's worldwide manufacturing facilities.

With demand for AMD's product portfolio growing at a rapid pace, the company has made significant investments in its manufacturing operations over the past few years. Most recently, AMD has commenced production at its first European manufacturing facility in Dresden, Germany, an 875,000 square-foot plant for the manufacture of AMD Athlon(TM) microprocessors. The new facility, together with the company's existing facility in Austin, Texas, provides AMD with sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet the volume requirements of its global customer base.

This year, Adexa will implement its iCollaboration solution at AMD's Dresden facility. Upon the successful implementation, the iCollaboration suite will be rolled out to the rest of AMD's front-end manufacturing facilities worldwide.

"For AMD, the ultimate key to realizing the tremendous benefits of advanced process technology is high-volume, high-quality manufacturing," said Charles Clark, director of Manufacturing Systems for AMD. "We found Adexa's iCollaboration suite to be the ideal fit for our needs, both in terms of its advanced functionality for the semiconductor industry and its next-generation architecture, including a single data model which will allow for seamless integration to other systems. The strong chemistry between our management team and the Adexa team was also an important factor in our selection."

iCollaboration is designed to allow AMD to automate its planning process at the shop floor level and in its back-end operations. By delivering real-time demand and capacity information via the Internet, Adexa's collaborative planning solution will also provide AMD a rapid and efficient means of collaborating between production facilities, customers and supply chain partners across the globe.

"AMD recognizes our experience in the semiconductor arena and we are pleased that they have selected iCollaboration to help manage the outgrowth of demand for their products," said Christopher Givens, vice president, Product Management for Adexa, Inc. "With the successful implementation of our iCollaboration suite, Adexa will provide AMD with more accurate forecasts and reduced inventory that will result in enhanced customer service."
