Over reliance on manual data entry

The previous systems required repetitive data entry across various modules and functions.

Up to 40 shipping errors per month

"We were working for the system rather than the system working for us. It was cumbersome, required heavy data entry, and though we were striving to be lean, it blocked our efforts because of all the things we had to do to maintain it. We wanted an ERP package that understood our particular business. If a system didn’t understand family molds or multiple cavitations running at the same time, it would have cost us more in terms of efficiency and maintenance, but as a supplier to major automakers, we also had to comply with our automotive customers’ quality standards and business transaction requirements. We literally turned the DELMIAWorks system on and started shipping error-free immediately."

Delivering efficiency through a single system

DELMIAWorks provides automotive manufacturing-specific functionality

Nissen Chemitech’s previous legacy manufacturing management system was built upon multiple databases that required repetitive data entry across various modules and functions. It was not automated and had limited barcode scanning capabilities; scheduling was done manually using spreadsheets, and production data had to be keyed in separately for reporting.

DELMIAWorks creates a leaner supply chain

When previously using a modem-based EDI, Nissen Chemitec America paid between £2,850 and £2,500 a month to transmit data and support customer requirements. DELMIAWorks reduced EDI costs by 90%, streamlining their EDI data efficiency and accuracy for a far leaner supply chain. Real-time production monitoring further enhanced operations, allowing Nissen Chemitec to identify and address production issues, track downtime, and monitor data without physical floor checks.

"We are now managing a leaner supply chain. That simply isn't possible with an ERP solution made from component parts or one that does not understand the inner workings and external pressures automotive suppliers must manage to remain competitive. Any other system would have presented higher maintenance costs and diminished efficiency. With DELMIAWorks we’ve reduced maintenance costs alone by over 70 percent and achieved lean objectives like reduced cycle time, automated workflow, and the elimination of redundant processes."
