“When a company is evaluating us as a potential partner and they visit our facilities and notice the level of control process investment we’ve made, they see us in a whole new light. They start to take us seriously as a partner that can deliver products with outstanding electrical performance.”
"Our partners at Control+M went module by module in the Plex platform, walking us through the possibilities and backing everything up with real-life examples, Our dedicated Control+M consultant really got to know our business processes as if he were an employee. He pushed us to rethink the way we do things so that we could not only get the most out of Plex but also dramatically increase our efficiency.”
"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 has enabled us to integrate our manufacturing operations with our business. The two entities are no longer separated. If I'm producing out on the floor, I'm doing that in Plex. If I'm receiving, I'm doing it in Plex. If I'm shipping, I'm doing it in Plex. Having real-time information on every aspect of our business is what’s enabling us to reduce our inventory holdings, better track our finished goods, and much more.”
“It’s no coincidence that we got recognized as a Supplier of the Year after we implemented Plex. Plex is the system that enables us to manage our entire business in real time.”
“Having traceability and tracking, and being able to support the automation and robotics we’re planning on implementing, was a must for any new solution. Plex is built on the whole concept of monitoring production quality.”
"Since going live on Plex, we’ve been able to sustain up to 100 percent growth year over year while driving down costs."
“The Plex Manufacturing Cloud is a non-intimidating ERP system compared to what we used to have—green screens and very gridlike in nature. Plex has been a good change with the ease of use."
“We have buy-in for Plex, all the way to our executive level. Having them really digging in deep has pushed the system. I’ve even seen our new president in the system saying, ‘Here’s how we’re going to do expense reports this way.’ It’s not just this initiative that IT wants but that the whole company wants.”
“I spend about 30 percent of my time driving continuous improvements for us in Plex, but those are all value-added activities—and I’ve eliminated all the data entry I used to do.”
"Plex has improved quality by lowering our internal scrap rates, driving continuous improvement through the system and getting real-time information to our operators."
"Plex is our culture and it's a growth tool for our company."
"I'm basically freed up to manage my department as opposed to being in a corner somewhere just rifling through information. That's really what we should be doing as managers -- driving continuous improvement and understanding our operation. That's a big part of why we have Plex, why we went after Plex. To make us better."
“Plex has played a huge role in helping us to consolidate and transform the performance of our business, making us a super-efficient manufacturer across our product range. Our customers are happy, we have secured our place in the market and our bottom line is healthy.”
“Should there be a problem with a part we can see where it went to, retrieve it, understand which components were used in its manufacture, and then predict where other quality issues may arise before they happen. That kind of visibility turns quality management into a profit center.”
