“We used to have 30 or 40 people come in and tag everything in the facility so that we could prepare a report for our auditors. People were here on overtime for 12- or 16-hour shifts, taking naps and not allowed to leave until we were finished. But now with Plex, we simply run a year-end inventory report, print off about 100 pages, and hand it to the auditors. We close our monthly books in a couple of days and our yearly books within two weeks—and there’s a huge cost savings in avoiding all that overtime.”
“Our suppliers are able to log in to the system and do their own printing of labels, and check the purchase orders and online releases. We no longer send notifications via email. This has saved time and reduced errors.”
“We were looking for a system that would not only get rid of all these little islands of information but also something in the cloud."
"This was particularly important while we incorporated 4C production processes. With the Plex Manufacturing Cloud we are still able to grow in a very nimble way while relying on standardized processes."
"Our differentiators have become better shop floor controls, advanced technology, speed-to-market and flexibility – all things that Plex helps to make possible."
“The FMEAs and control plans enabled by Plex represent functionality I’ve never seen another ERP solution provide.”
“Our six-month inventory accuracy is at 95 percent or more. For the first time we know what is required to reach our production goals.”
“It is a lot quicker, easier and more efficient. We are able to verify the count and match it in the system. The whole process is smoother and discrepancies are minimal.”
"If we hadn’t implemented the Plex consignment inventory module, we would have had to develop a completely manual process where we’d constantly be trading Excel spreadsheets with our warehouse partner."
“Plex Cloud ERP helps standardize business functions across multiple North American facilities.”
“The road to success is not doing one thing 100 percent better - it’s doing 100 things one percent better.”
"Growth has been a key goal of ours and we are now utilizing Plex’s program management functionality to manage processes as we develop and launch new products."
“With our previous systems, employees had to use codes to access menus and various pages, and this made things very confusing. With Plex, everything is visual and logical, and all employees can get to the screens, reports and data they need within just a few clicks.”
"The Plex system prevents us from working on a part unless everything is set up properly, the correct raw material components are present, and all our inspections are done. I know it sounds simple and like it’s common sense, but it’s a big reason why we are not making the mistakes of our competitors."
"Our supply chain reacts more quickly and nimbly to changes in customer demand. The automated, paperless system saves time and effort, and helps with ISO compliance. Everyone in the supply chain has better information for an improved process."
