London, England. – On April 10, 2017 Greycon successfully completed the fourth stage of a five wave implementation at Resolute Forest Products in Montreal, QC. Resolute initiated the global template rollout campaign to establish Greycon’s X-Trim solution as the company standard trim optimisation system.
Resolute is a global leader in the forest products industry marketing to over 80 countries worldwide and own or operate over 40 Mills. Resolute manufactures pulp, paper, tissue and wood products for clients based in the United States, Canada and South Korea.
Jay Jordan, Sales Manager for North America states: “We are very happy with the progress so far of Resolute’s rollout campaign. Establishing a new system in a company can always be challenging especially when you have multiple sites that need to be aligned. This is why we are so pleased with the X-Trim solution, it integrates seamlessly with SAP, showing Resolute a significant difference almost instantaneously.”
Greycon completed the first wave on February 1st 2015. Since then Greycon’s X-Trim solution has been implemented at 14 Mills. Currently Resolule is implementing the final roll out to go-live in September 2017 which will complete the campaign totalling 16 Mills, all of which are integrated with Resolute’s SAP/APO system.
X-Trim has provided many benefits to Resolute since its implementation, some of which are: it’s easy to use interface, visualised solution and superior waste reduction. Greycon’s certified ‘Interface for Industry-Specific Optimisers’ for APO allows Resolute quick configuration and deployment throughout each wave of the project. Allowing a seamless interface between X-Trim and APO.
