Case Study: Paddock Gear & Engineering achieves production control and improved quality with Access Group's Access MRP

Paddock Gear & Engineering controls their production and standards of quality with Access MRP

Paddock Gear & Engineering, a precision gear manufacturer that has grown turnover by 40% in two years, was struggling to control shop‑floor jobs, maintain the high traceability and quality required by blue‑chip customers, and determine job profitability. Managing Director Mr Marklew was routinely working 12+ hour days to manage production, quality and planning. To address these challenges the company implemented Access MRP from Access Group.

Access Group’s Access MRP provided integrated production control—covering sales and works orders, route cards, batch traceability and job costing—giving instant visibility of job status and true costs and making changes to instructions quick and user‑friendly. The system restored traceability and quality, reduced Mr Marklew’s workload pressure by an estimated 40–50%, avoided hiring two additional planners/controllers (saving roughly £50k per year), and earned positive recognition from their BS EN ISO 9000 assessor and customers.
