and service offices overseas, they aim for top 20 spot in the next 5 years.
Federal implemented Asprova in June 2009 for the forming and sulfuring
processes.Actually, they searched production scheduler since 2002,
at last chose Asprova.In 2010, we visited Federal and they were very
pleased to tell us that they had made much progress with Asprova.

without having been stored, on-time deliveries are up to 95%, inventory
turnover has been reduced from 20 to 15 days…
