Case Study: Hexcel cuts monthly planning from 20 hours to minutes and saves hundreds of hours with frePPLe

How Hexcel’s team of planners saved hundreds of hours thanks to frePPLe advanced production planning features

Hexcel, a global leader in advanced composite materials, struggled with error-prone, time-consuming production planning done in Excel and manual data imports/exports, with data integration and gaining management buy-in as major hurdles. To modernize and become more agile, Hexcel implemented frePPLe’s advanced production planning (APS) solution.

frePPLe delivered a web-based APS with advanced constraints planning and responsive support, giving Hexcel’s planners an 18-month production and forecast view and the ability to refresh plans quickly. The result: what used to take about 20 hours to plan can now be done in frePPLe within minutes, saving the team hundreds of hours and producing more realistic forecasts.
