Southeastern Kentucky Rehabilitation Industries Selects New Generation Computing’s Real-Time Shop-Floor Control System
Real-Time, Windows-Based Shop-Floor System Offers Enhanced Functionality

MIAMI, Aug. 29, 2003 – New Generation Computing Inc. (NGC) today announced that Southeastern Kentucky Rehabilitation Industries (SEKRI) has selected NGC’s The Production Manager (TPM) with the Foxfire Technologies Real-Time Shop-Floor Control System option. These software packages and real-time data-collection devices enable the rapid collection and analysis of plant-level production, quality, labor cost and incentive payroll data.

SEKRI will deploy the interoperable systems in September at its main factory in Cumberland, Ky. The systems will provide SEKRI with real-time management of WIP backlogs, mechanic machine repairs, quality analysis, line balancing and other business processes. In addition, the systems will provide each of the company’s sewing operators with immediate feedback about their individual pace and productivity.

“We selected NGC’s Real-Time Shop-Floor Control System because of the success we’ve enjoyed with NGC’s TPM software over the past four years,” said Tom Fields, executive director of SEKRI. “The company’s products are easy to use and install, and they’re considered the industry standard for payroll and reporting. We expect that the real-time system option will provide us with significant time savings, increased employee productivity, and substantial paper and ticket savings.”
