Case Study: Genuine Parts Company reduces BOM errors and boosts production efficiency with Bluestar PLM

Genuine Parts Company - Customer Case Study

Genuine Parts Company (GPC), a major global engineering and distribution firm, faced operational challenges due to its disparate technology systems. Separate systems for design, engineering, procurement, and finance were difficult to keep synchronized, which hampered efficiency and data visibility. To overcome this, GPC turned to vendor Bluestar PLM for a solution.

By implementing the Bluestar PLM solution, which integrated seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics and Solidworks, GPC unified its operations. The results were significant, including a reduction in bill of materials errors from 60% to below 10% and a 15% increase in production line efficiency. Bluestar PLM provided improved data integrity, better version management, and overall greater operational accuracy.
