Case Study: Sturgis Molded Products Company achieves major efficiency gains—95% freight cost reduction, 75% faster month-end close, and 20% more press time—with DELMIAworks

Sturgis Molded Products Company Optimizes Efficiency with IQMS Real-time Enterprise Software

Sturgis Molded Products (SMP), a Michigan-based injection molder serving medical, automotive, consumer, industrial and heavy-truck markets, needed to replace an aging, multi-system ERP that could not support company growth. Leadership sought a single, Windows-based solution with integrated quality and preventative maintenance to improve manufacturing precision, reporting and operational agility.

SMP implemented IQMS EnterpriseIQ with EDI, Warehouse Management and RealTime Production Monitoring to centralize data and automate processes. The single-source system eliminated duplicate databases and manual EDI, cut month-end close time by about 75%, reduced repair time by 75% (gaining 20% more press time) and lowered expedited freight costs by as much as 95%, boosting on-time delivery and scalability.
