"With the access to data on production, quality, performance by specific part, by area, and more, you can manage how you are performing in real time. Thus you don’t have to spend excessive amounts of time analyzing; you can see what you need to do. and do it.”
"We knew we needed to have something more interactive, something off-premises, and most importantly, something that we didn’t have to manage everyday, and Plex was the best fit for us."
“Areas such as accounts receivable and customer billing are so much more efficient with Plex, I’d estimate there’s a 40 to 50 percent time savings in accounting—which frees up staff to help out with activities such as quoting, which will help us land new business. If we hadn’t switched to Plex, we almost certainly would have had to add another member to our office staff by now.”
"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."
"Since the launch of Plex, we’ve had only miniscule variation in physical inventories. I can trace everything back to the second the raw materials arrived, without ever leaving my desk."
"Plex simplified and organized document control. We know when each part comes in and exactly where it is. We can answer inventory questions in seconds. Post-Plex audits identify zero nonconformance and zero opportunities for improvement."
"Plex’s error-proofing protocol prevents the shipping of mixed parts or misaligned products. Transactions validate machine set-ups, report production, and clear trays for shipment. Costly human errors are eliminated and time savings are generated by the automated reporting functionality of Plex."
"The real-time nature of the Plex Manufacturing Cloud, with the cross company visibility it gives everyone, is just the start. All the modules are integrated so that whenever a process occurs on the shop floor, if it has a commercial impact, our finance system is updated accordingly. Quality and compliance work together and, because we are publicly listed in Japan, we have to comply with their data security regulations. The Plex solution does the required reporting for us and we submit the necessary information, it’s so simple and fast."
“Plex has not only brought our business up to date, it has given our customers an even greater level of security and satisfaction. And that’s never a bad thing.”
"Plex has simplified our processes to a large extent. The whole process of customizing a product for sales purposes used to take days. Now we can do it over the phone within five minutes. That feature alone has dramatically improved our sales process."
"Plex is the most versatile solution to use in a manufacturing environment. We run the costing function to get the cost associated with each part and each activity. We know where and how to utilize our resources efficiently and are able to make better business decisions. Without Plex, we wouldn’t have been able to handle the company’s impressive growth."
“Plex provides the flexibility and customization to accommodate all variables required for every prosthetic foot.”
"We have a 20 percent growth per year plan for CAS. To achieve that goal, a system like Plex is essential. By tracking and fixing issues in real time, the company improves all aspects of the manufacturing process."
“Even though the schedule was tough, with Plex, we were able to ship about 35 percent of our scheduled orders on the first day and continued to improve our performance to schedule every day. Our new owners had experienced many ERP implementations with results ranging from disastrous one-week shutdowns to successful “non-events” with virtually no disruption to operations. We were pleased to have an ERP launch with minimal production issues.”
"Integrated functions link financials, production, engineering, quality, ordering, and shipping. We now closely track and manage all critical aspects of our operations."
