Media Release

Melbourne Australia, April 20 2006.

Constraint Technologies (CTI) is proud to announce that, as part of a major systems integration project involving Siemens, IBM and Telstra, we were the provider of the Warehouse Management System (WIMS) for Qantas' new Material and Logistics Distribution Centre at Mascot in Sydney, which opened on April 3rd.

The Sydney Distribution Centre (SDC) supplies components to service Qantas and is a significant investment by Qantas in its Australian engineering and maintenance operations.

The system supplied by CTI processes all transactions in the warehouse that support the maintenance operation and controls manual and automatic storage and retrieval of aircraft spares and consumable items.

A key element of the system is an optimisation process in which the storage locations and the order that items are retrieved are optimised to minimise delivery times for urgent items and maximise productivity.

The Executive General Manager of Qantas Engineering, Mr. David Cox, said the new Sydney facility would provide significant benefits for Qantas Engineering and the Qantas Group.

"This is a truly world class facility", he said. "It will provide the operational and workplace efficiencies we have to pursue across our business that will, in turn, allow us to increase our competitiveness and better meet the needs of Qantas and our external customers."

In addition to WIMS for Qantas' maintenance operations throughout Australia, CTI supplies the airline with planning and operations systems to support worldwide flight operations and crew management.
