Tactic Overview
What is Tactic?
TACTIC, from Waterloo Manufacturing Software, is a highly customizable Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) solution that is designed to complement, not replace, existing MRP or ERP systems. It focuses on helping manufacturers reduce supply and inventory costs while simultaneously improving customer service levels. Manufacturers utilize TACTIC's sophisticated scheduling algorithms and powerful what-if simulation features to perform critical tasks such as promising reliable delivery dates, planning and scheduling production runs, planning for material and capacity needs, and dynamically responding to changes and problems on the shop floor.
Who it's for:
TACTIC is intended for manufacturing companies that already have an ERP/MRP system for transactional management but need a more powerful, dedicated tool for tactical and operational planning. It is suitable for planners and schedulers who require advanced functionality to optimize schedules and simulate scenarios without overhauling their core business system.
Our verdict:
Our verdict is that TACTIC's non-invasive, complementary approach is a significant advantage. By layering advanced scheduling intelligence on top of existing ERP data, it allows manufacturers to enhance their planning capabilities and realize tangible benefits in cost and service without a disruptive and expensive system replacement project.
