– OPD Solutions,
a leading international consulting group specializing in
supply chain management, announced today that it will be
IBM’s worldwide sales agent for its integrated supply
chain software solution, the IBM Operational Framework for
Advanced Supply Chain Planning (PROFIT). The offering will
now be available for clients who require a suite of integrated
tools in order to help enable the supply chain optimization
of complex manufacturing environments.
IBM developed the suite based on the
principles of OPD’s Total Order Management (TOM®)
business process model. The TOM® process model has been
successfully implemented in many high-tech international
organizations.
“We are very pleased to offer our
clients a complete package of a proven business process
and the most advanced supply chain planning tool available
today” said Mike Morrissette, President of OPD Solutions,
Inc. “The IBM Operational Framework complements our
Total Order Management (TOM®) business process model
because it was developed in conjunction with the implementation
of the TOM® model in the IBM Microelectronics Division.
This is one software solution that supports supply chain
planning at an enterprise level when implemented with TOM®.”
The software suite supports all aspects
of supply chain planning from demand management to available
to promise (ATP). Regardless of the business size or industry,
the suite of tools can provide a comprehensive, long-term
solution that will adapt to the needs of organizations as
their business grows, market conditions change and the supply
chain network becomes more complex.

systems industries,” said Craig Luhrman, Director
of Microelectronics Sales for Channels and Business Partners,
IBM. “Working together with OPD, we are able to bring

Planning to a larger customer-base, providing businesses
with a supply chain management solution designed to help
