Case Study: Gil-Mar Manufacturing improves inventory control and production efficiency with AIM Computer Solutions' AIM Vision

Precision-machine Parts Manufacturer Implements Inventory Control and Production Management Solution and Improves Operating Efficiencies

Gil-Mar Manufacturing, a precision-machine parts supplier for the automotive industry, faced challenges with inefficiency due to its reliance on spreadsheets and manual tools. These disconnected processes hindered inventory control, production management, and timely business decisions. To maintain high customer service levels, particularly with demanding clients like Ford, they needed an integrated solution. They partnered with vendor AIM Computer Solutions to implement its AIM Vision Supply Chain Management software.

AIM Computer Solutions implemented its AIM Vision software, which integrated with Gil-Mar's existing Microsoft Dynamics GP system. The solution provided comprehensive inventory control, production monitoring, and streamlined Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) with customers. The results included increased labor efficiencies, improved inventory accuracy, a reduction in inventory overhead to increase cash flow, and the empowerment of floor supervisors to make better production decisions. This led to overall improved operating efficiencies for the manufacturer.
