French software house and IBM Corp subsidiary CGI Informatique SA has announced the availability of Finite Capacity Manager/2, planning and order module for the MRP module of its manufacturing management system Cimapplications. The manager product manages all information concerning manufacturing orders, resources, scheduling and risk, and can be used as a simulation tool. CGI says the module is particularly well adapted to companies working on a make-to-order manufacturing mode. It will be available in the languages in which Cimapplications is used: in particular, German, English, French and Spanish. Cimapplications-Finite Capacity Manager/2 can be interfaced with IBM’s Copics, for which IBM transferred to CGI the responsibility in April. Cimapplications is available under MVS, VSE and Unix.
