Case Study: The Metalworking Group achieves 86% on-time, in-full delivery in under 12 months with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP

The Metalworking Group Increases On-Time, In-Full Delivery to 86% in under 12 Months with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP

The Metalworking Group (MWG), a full‑scale design and fabricated‑metal manufacturer handling roughly 2,500 open custom orders, struggled with cumbersome legacy systems and Excel‑based planning that limited visibility and made it hard to meet delivery expectations. To address these challenges, MWG turned to Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP — Made2Manage Edition to replace manual processes and centralize inventory, planning and scheduling.

Aptean implemented its ERP with Advanced Scheduling and a real‑time shared database to automate planning, prioritize jobs against real constraints, and push changes to the shop floor. The result: on‑time, in‑full delivery rose from 75% to 86% in under 12 months (an 11% increase), revenue has grown four‑fold since implementation, and MWG now has far greater operational visibility and efficiency thanks to Aptean.
