DynaSys, a leading provider of demand and supply chain planning solutions, today announced that Managing Director Ariel Weil has been named a 2016 Provider Pros to Know by Supply & Demand Chain Executive, a leading business publication for supply chain professionals. The Pros to Know Awards recognize supply chain executives, and manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises, that lead initiatives to help prepare their companies’ supply chains for the significant challenges of today’s business climate. DynaSys is a division of QAD Inc. (Nasdaq:QADA) (Nasdaq:QADB).

DynaSys provides an integrated and collaborative planning solution that allows businesses to optimize their supply chains. Weil joined DynaSys in 1996 as the company’s director for research and development and became CEO in 2006. He was instrumental in the development of the collaborative DynaSys DSCP (Demand & Supply Chain Planning) solution suite. Under his leadership, DynaSys and its demand and supply chain solutions have become the choice for many top global manufacturing companies.

“Companies must deal with ever increasing levels of complexity,” said Weil. “My goal, and the goal of DynaSys, is to enable these companies to minimize the complexity of their supply chain, operate more effectively, and improve their ability to deliver for their customers.”

QAD President and Chairman of the Board, Pam Lopker, who was named a Supply & Demand Chain Executive Provider Pro to Know in 2015, said, “Ariel Weil is a recognized leader in the field of demand and supply chain software. His detailed knowledge of all aspects of the supply chain, particularly as it applies to manufacturing companies and their customers, allows him to provide invaluable strategic guidance to DynaSys.”

Supply & Demand Chain Executive received more than 350 entries for the 2016 Pros to Know Awards. This year’s list includes the 2016 Provider Pros to Know—individuals from software firms and service providers, consultancies or academia, who helped their supply chain clients or the supply chain community at large prepare to meet these challenges—and Practitioner Pros, who do the same within their own companies.
