Case Study: Chrysler achieves 30% cost reduction with Epicor Mattec MES

Epicor Mattec MES provides real-time production data essential to decision-making at Chrysler

Chrysler’s Etobicoke, Ontario aluminum die-casting plant, which produces engine components for Chrysler, Mercedes and AMG, faced a complex 62-machine environment where managers needed shift-by-shift visibility into production, scrap and downtime, long-term performance trends by machine, and accurate die-life tracking to avoid costly failures.

Epicor Mattec MES delivered real-time production monitoring, plant-wide dashboards and historical reports used in daily and weekly meetings to prioritize maintenance, adjust schedules, and trigger immediate corrective actions. The system improved uptime, cycle times and scrap rates—driving a 30% reduction in costs—while enabling proactive die-life management and faster, data-driven decisions across the organization.
