NCED/Sahara Selects New Generation Computing’s AMAS, TPM, Real-Time Shop Floor Control System to Manage Production, Control Inventory

MIAMI, Nov. 10, 2003 – New Generation Computing Inc. (NGC) today announced that the National Center for Employment of the Disabled (NCED), a manufacturer of chemical-protection suits and battle-dress uniforms, has selected NGC’s Apparel Management Accounting System (AMAS) and The Production Manager (TPM) software with Foxfire Technologies Corporation’s Real-Time Shop Floor Control System.

The software, which NCED will install this month at its manufacturing plants in El Paso, Texas, will enable the company to integrate business processes – sales, distribution, finance, production planning, administration, accounting, electronic data interchange, shop-floor control, incentive payroll and other functions – at its multiple locations onto one PC-based system. In addition, the software will enable the company to perform real-time collection and analysis of plant-level production data.

"After conducting a thorough review, we selected NGC’s software because it’s robust enough to handle our company’s growth under the federal Javits-Wagner-ODay program and consolidate production for all our divisions, including military uniforms, corrugated products and Sahara Sportswear,” said Brian Kieser, chief financial officer of NCED. “Moreover, NGC has an impressive roster of clients in our industry who are enjoying significant benefits with its user-friendly software. We’re looking forward to receiving similar benefits.” Alan Brooks, president of NGC, added: “The National Center for Employment of the Disabled is one of many government contractors that are selecting our software to streamline processes, reduce costs and improve efficiencies. Our software is setting a new standard in the industry.”
