Case Study: Car Parts Manufacturing Company achieves a fully transformed assembly line with Avanade

Manufacturer redesigns and automates production with innovative mobile technology

The Car Parts Manufacturing Company, a leading producer of front-end bumpers and related fascia components, needed a better way to handle production-floor issues in its just-in-time assembly process. Using Avanade’s Work Redesigned strategy, the company wanted to reduce delays, improve issue resolution, and give supervisors and decision makers better mobile visibility into plant-floor problems.

Avanade implemented a mobile-enabled solution with barcode scanning and automated workflows for sign-on, override alerts, Andon issue alerts, and Kanban shortage notifications. The result was a more efficient, automated assembly line process with real-time issue tracking, faster problem resolution, lower costs from fewer production delays, and better transparency for plant and IT leaders.
