Case Study: Magna sites across North America achieve audit readiness, automated PMs and reduced downtime with Fiix

Conquer common maintenance challenges in the auto manufacturing industry

Magna, a major auto-parts manufacturer with sites across North America, faced common maintenance challenges: fragmented record‑keeping (pen & paper and spreadsheets), inadequate CMMS tools, failed audits, poor spare‑parts tracking, uncontrolled documents and finance visibility, and frequent reactive maintenance that drove downtime and costs.

By adopting Fiix CMMS at multiple Magna sites, teams automated preventive maintenance, captured full asset histories, tracked spare parts and inventory, and enabled mobile, tablet-based work. Results included effortless audit readiness (Belleville passed 100% of audits), a 30% reduction in scheduled downtime, a 10% cut in inventory, streamlined reactive work, improved productivity, and stronger long‑term maintenance control.
