Acome Xintai Cables extends the scope of its cooperation with Siveco

Based on the results already obtained with Siveco, leading cables manufacturers Acome Xintai Cables has decided to extend the usage of the CMMS "COSWIN" to cover stock management.

By maintaining the links between parts and their actual usage i.e. equipment and work orders, the system will allow Acome to forecast its material needs and ensure the availability of the critical parts. The purchasing department will also benefit from the more accurate technical specifications and data will be coordinated between COSWIN and the SAP financial system.

Bruno Lhopiteau, General Manager of Siveco China, declared: " We are proud of the success achieved by the joint Acome-Siveco team in the past few months. We would like to thank Acome for their trust and looking forward to a continuing relationship".

Acome Xintai Cables' extensive usage of COSWIN was highlighted in a previous newsletter article:
