Tek Pak, Inc. Owns Its Shop Floor With Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP

Tek Pak, Inc., a plastics packaging manufacturer for the electronics industry, struggled with unreliable, day‑old shop‑floor data, low inventory accuracy and visibility, and a non‑interactive bar‑code system that produced errors and operator complacency. To address this, Tek Pak turned to Aptean and its Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition, implementing the Aptean Shop Floor Manager to provide interactive, real‑time shop‑floor reporting and material tracking.

Aptean’s Shop Floor Manager deployed workstations for clocking jobs, entering material usage against specific jobs, and displaying job documents at the point of work, which drove employee ownership of data and improved processes. As a result, Aptean delivered measurable gains: an 80% reduction in labor‑tracking errors, inventory records about 75% more accurate with effective lot control, fewer component shortages, better job costing and real‑time visibility into every job on the floor.
