Case Study: Climax Paperboard and Packaging achieves automated, time-saving production scheduling with Epicor AVP

How Climax Uses Epicor AVP Scheduling Software to Efficiently Manage Production

Climax Paperboard and Packaging, a Lowville, New York–based manufacturer of folding cartons and paperboard with a century of operations supplying retail and food-service clients, faced chronic scheduling pain: production plans were time-consuming to create and update, and after moving to Plex the company lost the automated rescheduling capabilities it relied on, forcing manual adjustments that left them falling behind during busy periods.

By integrating Epicor AVP Advanced Planning and Scheduling with their Plex system, Climax regained automated, time‑block scheduling and real‑time rescheduling of sequential jobs. The result was dramatically smoother schedules, significant time savings, improved responsiveness during peak seasons, and clearer delivery commitments to customers — restoring control over production planning.
