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

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

The Metalworking Group is a full-scale fabricated metal manufacturer handling roughly 2,500 open custom orders at any time. Relying on a legacy system and Excel for inventory, planning and scheduling left the company with limited visibility, cumbersome manual processes and difficulty meeting customer delivery expectations—about 75% on-time, in-full (OTIF).

By implementing Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP (Made2Manage) with its Advanced Scheduling module and a shared real-time database, MWG automated planning, improved material management and synchronized the shop floor. Within a year OTIF rose to 86% (an 11% gain), revenue grew four-fold, and the company gained faster, more reliable quote-to-delivery tracking and greater operational efficiency.
