American Metal Products Company (AMPCO), a leader in comprehensive tube bending and metal forming for the transportation industry, recently upgraded its manufacturing system to improve customer service and the entire production process. INDUSTRIOS Software, Inc., developer of INDUSTRIOS manufacturing software, was their partner of choice.
When AMPCO required inventory improvements, they again turned to INDUSTRIOS for the solution. This decision was based upon their long and trusted history, the INDUSTRIOS team’s commitment to service, training, robust manufacturing feature set and efficient technical support. AMPCO’s implementation objectives included eliminating late sales orders, improving production and reducing overtime shifts.
AMPCO processes many orders daily, with overtime shifts needed to meet demand and provide superior customer service. Efficiently managing these shifts had been a painstaking process, requiring additional shifts during Saturdays. With improved visibility and control of manufacturing and internal processes, this is no longer the case. In the first five weeks after the INDUSTRIOS implementation, no employee worked during the weekend and no extra full-time shifts were required. These improvements have also provided AMPCO with increased efficiency and cost savings.
AMPCO made core changes with INDUSTRIOS. Time and cost savings were enabled by streamlining sales orders and using standard INDUSTRIOS reports, while internal communication, efficiency and production was improved. Roxanne Morrisey, Controller of AMPCO said, “INDUSTRIOS has changed the course of the company... the dynamic of our business.” It is anticipated that with these improvements, increases in sales and profits will be received.
American Metal Products Company is now enjoying these enhancements. Reduced overtime, improved production, time and money savings, efficiency and enhanced customer service are a result of one manufacturing solution. INDUSTRIOS.
