6 Case Studies
A frePPLe Case Study
Elcam Medical, an Israel-based manufacturer of single‑use medical devices with a production site in Italy and ~200 staff, faced complex scheduling across about 50 molding machines, assembly robots and multiple clean rooms. Manual planning and an ill‑fitting parent-company APS module could not cope with a growing order book and Elcam’s high service-level targets, so they turned to frePPLe for a more agile planning solution.
frePPLe implemented its cloud-based production planning module with automated ERP interfaces to generate feasible schedules for all resources, enabling Elcam Medical to plan an order book of 2,000 customer orders in a few minutes. The frePPLe solution improved delivery-date visibility, highlighted constraints (e.g., last‑minute orders, resource changes), and let planners quickly reassign jobs, shift time slots and adjust quantities—helping Elcam react faster and keep its commitments.
