US-based Geophysical Survey Systems (GSSI) says it has increased its on-time delivery performance from 60% to an average of 93% since going live with an Infor ERP Visual system.
Jack O'Leary, vice president of operations at the ground penetrating radar systems manufacturer, points in particular to the software's EasyLEAN module, which, he says, moves away from traditional planning methods to reduce inventory and smooth production flows.
He cites reduced shortages on the manufacturing floor, and also says the system has enabled better control over labour and materials, as a result of greater data visibility.
That, says O'Leary, has also helped to cut lead times by more than half, from four weeks to less than two.
"Prior to EasyLEAN, we had too many material shortages and inefficiencies on the manufacturing floor," he explains.
"Now, we have much greater insight into inventory and labour needs, allowing us to increase revenue without increasing resources," he adds.
And he continues: "EasyLean enables better service for our current customer base, with quicker delivery and shorter lead times, positioning us to outpace our competition and gain market share."
