Case Study: Martin Aerospace achieves real-time shop-floor visibility and full traceability with Exel Computer Systems plc’s EFACS

Consistent Quality Delivered On Time With Efacs

Martin Aerospace, based in Lanark, Scotland, is a global supplier of precision components to the aerospace sector. Facing strict quality, traceability and scheduling demands, the company struggled with a mix of manual processes, spreadsheets and disparate IT systems that left them without real-time visibility of job status, accurate costing, material control or reliable shop-floor data. To address this they chose EFACS from Exel Computer Systems plc.

Exel Computer Systems plc implemented EFACS as a fully integrated ERP and shop‑floor data collection solution, including job card generation, stores/purchasing, quality and real‑time shop‑floor monitoring. The system delivered immediate visibility of job status and machine utilisation, full traceability from raw material to finished part, tighter stock control and reduced WIP and over‑manufacture. Martin Aerospace reports large time savings—saying they can now do in one day what used to take a week—and improved purchasing accuracy and reporting that together materially improved efficiency and delivery performance.
