Case Study: Mini Gears achieves automated workflows, 100% document control and competitive advantage with Exel Computer Systems plc and EFACS E/8

Mini Gears - Customer Case Study

Mini Gears, one of the UK’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of transmission and machined components, has been an EFACS customer for almost a decade and needed to upgrade to the latest EFACS E/8 from Exel Computer Systems plc to take advantage of enhanced Document Management and Workflow capabilities. Facing production of about 500 different parts per month with an average of 8 operations each (roughly 4,000 operations monthly) and heavy reliance on paper technical drawings, Mini Gears required better tracking of operations and reliable access to correct drawing versions.

Exel Computer Systems plc implemented the EFACS E/8 upgrade, deploying Workflow automation to streamline production and repetitive administrative tasks and Document Management to ensure immediate access to correct drawing versions. The solution enables Mini Gears to manage around 4,000 operations per month more efficiently, delivers measurable time and cost savings, and provides 100% control of standards and specifications.
