Case Study: Boll & Kirch achieves 1/3 shorter lead times and boosted productivity with abas ERP

Boll & Kirch - Customer Case Study

Boll & Kirch, an industry leader in filtration technology for shipbuilding and engine construction, faced the challenge of supporting rapid growth across sites in Germany, the USA and the Czech Republic while keeping processes flexible and upgrade-compatible. Since 2002 they partnered with ComputerKomplett SteinhilberSchwehr to deploy the abas ERP system for 180 concurrent users, enabling the company to map new processes quickly and maintain a single, adaptable platform.

ComputerKomplett SteinhilberSchwehr configured abas to support Kanban-based flow assembly, test-certificate administration, costing, technical data management and warehouse withdrawal optimization. The solution delivered measurable gains: production lead times fell by one-third, transparency and performance measurability improved, and overall productivity and process efficiency increased — with upgrades still achievable in a single weekend despite extensive customizations.
