Why Executives Choose Opcenter & LSI

Over 25 Years of APS Experience

“The LSI team has worked hard to understand our business and to create a scheduling solution that allows us to schedule the way we need to schedule to run our unique business.”

Leigh SargentFounder, Applied Composites Engineering

“Because our extruding department has so many complexities, not everyone believed we would be able to accurately automate our scheduling process. However, the LSI team worked tirelessly with our schedulers and the results have been spectacular. We have grown the business while reducing costs by eliminating manual effort and removing confusion. Even more importantly, we have improved our customer service and our bottom line.”

Michael ConwayCFO, Summit Packaging

Why you need a strategic scheduling partner

The root cause for poor scheduling is that most executives don’t understand why their high-priced ERP systems can’t do accurately manage their scheduling requirements. Sadly, in many cases, nobody wants to tell their executives that they are still using Excel for scheduling (for more on this, read The Little Blue Book on Scheduling). ERP systems do not have the technology required to manage finite capacity and multiple constraints, and even if they did, it is highly unlikely that ERP vendors would have the expertise required to make it work.

Going from a manual system (such as Excel) to a fully automated, high powered scheduling solution is challenging and takes time. Most companies fail miserably because they try to do too much, too soon. LSI understands that nothing succeeds like success, so we make it easy for you to get an immediate return on your investment.

LSI’s strategy is designed to focus on getting the basics right while simultaneously laying the building blocks for future growth and enhancements.

This approach allows LSI to get a better understanding of your business and how it works at the detailed level. We believe that the commitment by both parties to this process is what makes it possible to create the types of innovative solutions that have made our customers industry leaders over the last 25 years.
