RB-ERP®: a rock solid solution for Discrete Manufacturers

Discrete manufacturing is often characterized by individual or separate unit production.Units can be produced in low volume with very high complexity or high volumes of low complexity. Low volume/high complexity production results in the need for an extremely flexible manufacturing system that can improve quality and time-to-market speed while cutting costs.

High volume/low complexity production puts high premiums on inventory controls, lead times, and reducing or limiting materials costs and waste. The vast majority of WorkWise customers must cope with a mix-mode environment where their customers demand both standard and customized products. They deal daily with both ends of the discrete manufacturing spectrum needing instant answers to capable-to-promise as well as ability-to-engineer questions.

Discrete manufacturers have been using Role-Based ERP™ for decades because it addresses their business requirements.

Discrete Manufacturing Industries that have built their business with assistance from RB-ERP include:

  • Aerospace
  • Agriculture Equipment
  • Construction Equipment
  • Electronics
  •  Food and Beverage Equipment
  • Forgings, Alloys, and coatings
  • Industrial Equipment
  • Industrial Vehicles
  • Medical Equipment
  • Metal Cutting and Stamping
  • Plastics
  • Industrial Valves
  • Wood Products

 


Walker Forge Implements Document Management and Archive – Immediate Return on Investment!

walkerforgeSince implementing, the savings and changes have been dramatic and immediate. No more shipping or faxing documents between the Clintonville plant and the Milwaukee headquarters!  They used to ship boxes for documents like W9′s between the offices or fax copies if needed in a hurry.  Now, those are all scanned and cataloged in the Archive for all to view.
Kurt Hansen, Plant Controller, said they immediately saved $8,000 per year by eliminating pre-printed forms and postage costs.  In addition, he estimates they save about $20,000/year by eliminating wasted time searching for documents, standing at fax machines and stuffing/sorting envelopes. They have also eliminated file cabinets and reclaimed office space by storing documents electronically. These savings provided Walker Forge with an immediate return on their investment and a significant impact to the bottom line.

QuickCableQuick Cable was not necessarily looking  to save money or improve sales. But, an unexpected result was that BOTH of these things happened very quickly.
“CRM has allowed us to go paperless– we use it to do huge email blasts to our customers instead of mailing them directly. We  do one mailing every month and used to spend $2100 per mailing just in postage. We also save money in paper and print costs, but just the postage savings amounts to over $25k each year!”
