Morgal Machine Tool's Plexus Online Status

In early 2005, Morgal purchased Plexus Online™ to connect and manage its manufacturing processes.

Web-hosted Plexus Online from Plexus Systems (www.plex.com) connects and manages the total manufacturing process. Plexus Online is the first true on-demand performance management system - delivering multi-user interface for a finer degree of control from the top floor to the shop floor.

Morgal gains instant access to critical information using a simple web browser accessible from any location with internet access, allowing executive management and plant personnel to work among all business units from any location. Access provisions can also be granted to customers and suppliers to help with supply chain visibility.

Metal forming companies rely on Plexus Online because the system achieves significant cost, quality and productivity improvements in the face of increasing customer demands, global pressures, material cost increases, and other market pressures. Plexus Online provides a powerful and flexible platform with over 350 functional modules, including the following:

• ERP
• Quality Management
• Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
• Lean Manufacturing Software
• Inventory Control
• Bar Coding
• Traceability
• Production Scheduling
• EDI Release
• Accounting
• Job Costing
• Production Tracking

Plexus Online has been implemented at two of the five McGregor Metalworking Companies. The remaining three facilities will be implemented later in 2006.
