Case Study: James Cropper plc achieves end-to-end scheduling and production visibility with Greycon opt-Studio

James Cropper - Customer Case Study

James Cropper PLC, a prestige paper innovator, faced the challenge of managing its complex production process with a manual planning system focused only on paper machines. To support its global aspirations, the company needed an end-to-end scheduling solution from vendor Greycon to improve visibility and planning across its entire mill.

Greycon implemented its opt-Studio system to automate scheduling and provide real-time production updates. The solution integrated with the company's ERP, allowing orders to be scheduled for both paper machines and downstream tasks. This resulted in significant productivity gains and improved efficiencies. An unexpected benefit was that opt-Studio's automation also enabled the business to operate effectively with remote staff during the Covid-19 pandemic.
