Case Study: a large auto company improves slitting efficiency with Greycon X-Trim

Large Auto Company - Customer Case Study

A large automotive company, which supplies materials like steel and plastics as well as parts and equipment, faced the challenge of optimizing its master mill coils to meet slitting demand for its 30 metal processors across North America. The company engaged vendor Greycon to help with this optimization to improve throughput and minimize costs.

Greycon implemented its X-Trim optimization tool as part of the customer's SAP S/4HANA solution. The results for the large auto company included greater throughput, significant waste reduction, and more efficient inventory utilization. Greycon's solution also led to improved decision-making, planner efficiency, and a formalization of the slitter process capability.
