当 Kamco Industries 基于电子表格的业务流程无法满足美国本田等主要客户的要求时，该公司知道需要改进。分析绩效涉及大量文书工作，年终结算过程需要无数小时的加班，需要数周才能完成。 IT 花费了太多时间来支持业务流程，而不是为公司提供强大的技术基础。为了满足客户的要求并提高效率，Kamco 开始寻找新的 ERP 系统。

卡姆科工业

Kamco Industries是 Kumi Kasei 的子公司，是产品设计和注塑、片材成型和成型纤维毡产品制造商的全方位服务提供商。该公司于 1987 年在俄亥俄州 West Unity 成立，通过其业务规划、ISO 14000 和 ISO 9001 计划为其客户和员工带来更多价值。 1997年扩展到安大略省布拉德福德后； 2000 年，阿拉巴马州克兰顿；和墨西哥瓜达拉哈拉，2010 年； Kumi North America 集团的年总销售额已超过 1.4 亿美元。

获得库存控制和可见性

借助 Plex 中的周期盘点工具和实时库存可见性，Kamco 显着提高了其库存控制。

通过从电子表格过渡到 Plex，Kamco 将安排每个班次的工作任务的流程从两个小时缩短到了几分钟。运行更精简的流程使 Kamco 能够减少其整体库存持有量，这有助于提高利润。 Kamco 还简化了其年终盘点流程，该流程曾经需要数周才能完成，并且 Kamco 员工需要无休止地加班。

• The implementation of Plex Manufacturing Cloud brought about significant operational improvements for Kamco. The company gained better control over its inventory, reducing instances of idle presses due to lack of inventory. The transition from spreadsheets to Plex also streamlined shift scheduling and year-end inventory processes, saving time and reducing the need for overtime. The automation of many key functions allowed the company to reduce its IT headcount, freeing up employees to return to the business divisions where they were best suited. Kamco also improved its line side labeling process, resulting in faster delivery times and greater reliability. The company is now able to meet the certification requirements of different countries more efficiently and effectively. Kamco has also embraced innovation, using tablets, RFID container tracking, robotic assemblies, and digital tools on the shop floor, with Plex serving as the hub that ties together all the information from these systems.

• Streamlined monthly close to two days and year-end close to two weeks
• Streamlined shift scheduling from two hours to just minutes
• Minimized assembly line stoppages caused by lack of inventory
