TCM - Time Critical Manufacturing

The TCM (Time Critical Manufacturing) ERP Product is offered by WorkWise, Inc.

WorkWise Inc. is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin - with many virtual offices throughout the United States and an R&D office located in Shanghai, China. The company has over 500 customers throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada and the Pacific Rim.

EMS (Effective Management Systems) was the original author of the TCM (Time Critical Manufacturing) ERP Product Line in the mid 1970's. In the late 1990s EMS went public. In 1999, EMS was acquired by IFS (Inudstrial and Financial Systems) to expand their presence in the U.S. and with the intent of converting the existing TCM customers to the IFS applications. The company was not very successful in moving customers to the IFS applications and in 2001, Mike Dunham, the original owner of EMS purchased the TCM product back from IFS along with 30 key employees with TCM experience and formed a new company called WorkWise, Inc. Today, WorkWise has doubled in size and has continued development of the product line to serve its existing customers as well as new customers.
