SANTA BARBARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– QAD Inc. (NAS: QADA) (NAS: QADB) , a leading provider of enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies, announced today new training sessions on Advanced Manufacturing with Planning & Scheduling Workbenches will be held at its customer conference QAD Explore 2013, in San Antonio, Texas, on May 6-9, 2013.
