WWK Brings Process Sequence Cost & Capacity Analysis to the Cloud

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Jan. 30, 2020 - PRLog -- Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc. (WWK) (https://wwk.com), the global leader in Cloud-based cost and productivity management software and consulting services, announced today that it has finished the integration of PRO COOL® for Process Sequences into its flagship cost of ownership (COO/TCO) and overall equipment efficiency (OEE) software, TWO COOL®.

By adding PRO COOL® capabilities, TWO COOL® can now estimate the costs and capacity of sequential process flows, not just a single process step.  PRO COOL® connects cost and capacity information from TWO COOL® models for each process step in the sequence allowing for efficient data reuse and minimal new data entry.

Some of the management questions that PRO COOL® answers include:

·       What is the COO of the process sequence?

·       Where is the bottleneck?

·       What are the cost drivers?

·       How much equipment is needed?

·       What are the impacts of a ramp up or ramp down?

TWO COOL® v4.1 capitalizes on over 25-years of enhancements and applications history from over 3,000 users on 5 continents.  TC4 is built on a modern visual development platform and powerful relational database backend designed specifically to take advantage to today's powerful Cloud architecture.

"By integrating PRO COOL® capabilities into TWO COOL®, we are providing our clients with the ability to extend their analyses well beyond a single process step while leveraging the data they have already entered," states David W. Jimenez, WWK's President & CEO.  "Traditionally, clients looking to examine the cost and capacity for process flows needed to use full factory analysis tools.  They now have a cost effective and efficient choice for those processes that fall between single steps and the entire factory."

With more than 4,000 users worldwide, Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc. is the largest privately held operational cost management software and consulting company serving technology-dependent and technology-driven organizations. WWK maintains long-term relationships with prominent industry resources and national labs and universities. Its client base includes nearly all of the top 20 semiconductor manufacturers and equipment and materials suppliers as well as leaders in photovoltaics (#PV), solid state lighting/light emitting diodes (#SSL/#LED), nanotechnology, micro electro-mechanical systems (#MEMS), thin film record heads, magnetic media, flat panel displays (#FPD), and healthcare.

WWK's product line includes TWO COOL® for detailed process step level cost of ownership (#COO) and overall equipment efficiency (#OEE), PRO COOL® for process flow and test cell costing, Factory Commander® for full facility capacity analysis and activity-based costing, Factory Explorer® for cycle time reduction and WIP planning, and TCOe™ for energy production project costs (cost/kilowatt-hour).
