Intercim Sponsors Aberdeen Report on MOM Adoption

ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, May 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
Intercim, LLC, a global leader in Manufacturing Operations Management
(MOM) software, announced today sponsorship of Aberdeen Group's most
recent benchmark report, titled "A Platform Approach to Manufacturing
Operations Management." For this study, Aberdeen evaluated and classified
manufacturers based on three key performance indicators (KPIs): On-Time
and Complete Shipments; OEE; and Production Compliance. For the purposes
of Aberdeen's research, "best-in-class" manufacturers were defined as the
top 20% of performers in a weighted average across the aforementioned
three KPIs. The results showed that best-in-class performance is
comprised of:

- 97% On-Time and Complete Shipments;

- 92% Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE); and

- 99% Production Compliance.

According to Matthew Littlefield, Senior Research Analyst with the
Aberdeen Group's Global Manufacturing Practice, "Manufacturers are
constantly looking for ways to create a competitive advantage within
their manufacturing operations. As it was discovered in our research, the
best-in-class are the ones that have successfully addressed this issue in
a variety of distinct ways. First, they have taken a collaborative
approach to deploying a MOM platform. Second, their MOM platforms are
considerably more likely to span their entire manufacturing network.
Lastly, these manufacturers are delivering more value at a lower cost to
the organization overall than their competitors."

"We see alignment with the results of this study and the performance of
our customers," said Intercim President and CEO John Todd. "As our
products help manufacturers achieve and maintain their 'best-in-class'
status, we're happy to see Aberdeen's study validate our vision for the
alignment between Engineering and Manufacturing. This alignment has
proven to be a real boost for manufacturers as they deal with today's
challenging environment."
