Case Study: Harris Corporation achieves 20% productivity boost and seamless, under-budget MRP modernization with Cincom

Productivity Boost, Long-term Growth and Success Continue with Cincom Solution

Harris Corporation, a $5.4B aerospace and defense firm with over 14,000 employees and nearly 6,000 engineers, needed to replace a 20-year-old MRP system that could not handle growth, rising part counts or redundant data. The goal was to deploy a more robust, scalable solution that would support double-digit growth, boost productivity by 10% and be implemented on time and without disrupting 600+ active programs.

Harris selected Cincom’s Enterprise Management Solutions, and the project finished two months early and under budget with virtually no business interruption. Within three months post‑go‑live Harris reported a 20% productivity gain in procurement and materials management, now supports about 1,200 users with improved supply‑chain visibility and web access, and later accepted a 2011 upgrade that added functionality with minimal customization.
