SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 2001

ISO 9002 Supplier of Industrial Gaskets and Converting Solutions

Anticipates Greater Visibility of Production Resources and

Constraints for More Efficient Scheduling, Better Customer Service

Intentia announced today that CGR Valley Products of Greensboro, North Carolina, has implemented Intentia's Movex, a world-leading e-collaboration solution encompassing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Advanced Production Planning, Supply Chain Management and e-business.

Movex is running on an IBM AS/400 Server and has approximately 50 users. CGR Valley also plans to install Movex at its recently acquired manufacturing plant in Alabama.

CGR Valley Products is an ISO 9002 manufacturer providing precision-cut gaskets and other converting solutions to wholesalers and manufacturers that produce automotive and aerospace components, hand-held power tools, small appliances, computers and medical devices. The company operates in a make-to-order environment, performing a variety of value-added converting processes such as slitting, laminating, splitting, molding and extrusion.

Of CGR Valley's decision to implement Movex, President Chuck Keeley, states: "We were looking to effect substantial improvements in our internal operations, supply chain, and customer service and fulfillment. We chose Movex because the software offered the robust functionality to fulfill these needs, and because Intentia has a track record of successful implementations. We also believe that Movex will grow substantially in this country with the same success it has had in Europe, and that Intentia will continue to expand its applications to meet evolving business needs."

A key Movex component for CGR Valley is Advanced Production Planning (APP), an application that automatically schedules production orders against available production capacity and raw materials, and fits maintenance work orders into "production windows." As a result of this enhanced efficiency and visibility, users can quickly generate an optimized schedule for all production and maintenance resources.

With a complex make-to-order environment involving short lead times and a multitude of materials suppliers and products, CGR Valley's resource requirements change from day to day. According to the company's production planner, Steve Bartlett, "Movex APP gives us global visibility of orders and material requirements, so we can plan production schedules and forecast delivery with greater accuracy than before. We anticipate that this will help us reduce our work-in-process levels and improve customer delivery and satisfaction."
