"We can now check the current status of any job out on the floor, see exactly what we’ve got in inventory, monitor who’s on which machine, and access records from any workstation in the company. Rather than wasting our time digging through paperwork, we can find answers and make changes to the production schedule on screen in seconds. Even after a year on the system, we’re still finding better and better ways to increase our efficiency with Plex."
“If we’re able to provide the information our customers are asking for, we can show that we can be a strategic business partner. We were one of Subway’s first suppliers to provide digital reporting, and that’s because we had Plex.”
“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.”
"Mission-critical data is always accessible, safe, and secure. Plex’s flexibility is one of its greatest benefits. We’ve identified continuous improvement projects resulting in more than $200,000 of savings."
"Given that we turn inventory more than 250 times per year— more than once per day on average—we wouldn’t be able to do all of these quality checks to get down to one defective PPM with just humans."
"Integrated PLC improves our entire production process. The Control Panel is easy for employees to learn. Each employee can run every type of equipment. Real-time, accurate data helps us improve quality, cut scrap, and reduce costs."
“We are now in a good position for the future. Our revenue continues to grow, our systems are strong and we continue to expand the role of Plex within the company. Future hiring can be targeted to meet specific strategic needs, as opposed to filling software maintenance positions — something that is of major importance to the company.”
“Plex has simplified data gathering and data management at all levels of our enterprise, allowing savings in time and resources.”
“Plex is the only completely integrated MRP/ERP business system that I have ever seen.”
“We felt Plex was a much better fit for us because it is designed specifically for manufacturers.”
“Plex’s biggest strength is its ability to integrate our manufacturing plants within and across our plants in the United States and Mexico.”
“We’d been told by SAP that it wasn’t possible to bring an ERP system into our operations.”
“The specialized costing analysis which used to take hours to produce is now compiled in seconds.”
“While all of this was happening, we needed to ensure that we were getting the most accurate cost information so that our products could be profitable for us and competitive on the retailer’s shelf.”
“This incredible commercial success and smooth deployment is testament to the ease with which Plex can be brought online in a large and complex organization.”
