挑战

Miniature Precision Components, Inc. (MPC), a leading tier-one supplier for major automotive manufacturers, was facing challenges due to its outdated enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The system had been heavily modified over the years to accommodate the company's specific requirements and add third-party functionality. However, these modifications hindered easy and cost-effective updates, leaving MPC's system about three years behind current technology, even as the company paid for regular system updates. The system was also restrictive and disjointed, making it difficult to reconcile and manage data. MPC needed a new ERP system that could support its mission of delivering top-tier quality to the major automotive manufacturers, provide real-time data, and integrate all segments of the business.

关于客户

Miniature Precision Components, Inc. (MPC) is a leading tier-one supplier for the major automotive manufacturers. Founded in 1972, MPC operates under the premise that its customers' success is its own. This belief has driven MPC to invest in equipment, technology, and human resources to meet and exceed its customers' expectations. The company is committed to providing quality, superior design, reliability, and execution in everything it does, and has established effective quality disciplines to ensure conformance across its enterprise. Headquartered in Walworth, Wisconsin, MPC has 1,900 employees and operates manufacturing plants in Wisconsin and Mexico.

解决方案

MPC decided to implement the EnterpriseIQ ERP software system with RealTime Production Monitoring from IQMS. This system was chosen for its strong production environment, ease-of-use, comprehensive reporting capabilities, and total visibility across the entire enterprise. The RealTime Production Monitoring module allowed MPC to shift from batch to real-time processing, providing immediate visibility into what machines were running and at what level of quality and productivity. The EnterpriseIQ system operates all within one database, guaranteeing interoperability between modules and centralizing the company's business data and activity in one easy-to-access location. This increased data reliability and provided better visibility across the entire enterprise. The system also allowed MPC to examine its production processes with an eye for outliers and poor performance, targeting specific areas for improvement.
