UK machine tool builder Yamazaki Mazak is using Preactor as the OEM heart of its Cyber Scheduler module, one of four components of the Mazak Cyber Center production management system.

Preactor International, the UK's leading specialist planning and scheduling software company, extends its proven planning and scheduling capabilities to customer Yamazaki Mazak's production control software. Mazak is using Preactor as the OEM heart of its Cyber Scheduler module, one of four components of the Mazak Cyber Center production management system. Working with the other three modules, this helps provide real time visibility of every element of the production process.

Having recently installed the system in Czech based sub-contractor, Frencken, based in Brno, Mazak now has now more than 75 implementations including their own factories around the world.

Mike Novels, chairman and managing director, commented on the strategic nature of this partnership.

'We are very proud to be working with this prestigious company.

Their clients understandably endeavour to get more from their investment in hardware and software to improve profitability and obtain a fast Return On Investment (ROI).

By teaming up with Preactor, Mazak is now offering them the opportunity to acquire a proven production scheduling tool used by more than 1,600 companies around the world to do just that.
