Case Study: Technical Fibre Products streamlines production scheduling with Greycon opt-Studio

Technical Fibre Products - Customer Case Study

Technical Fibre Products (TFP), a manufacturer of advanced materials for sectors like aerospace and defence, was using a dated Microsoft Access-based scheduling system that required manual data input. This legacy process lacked the flexibility and detailed visibility needed to maximise the efficiency of their new production equipment. To address this challenge, TFP partnered with vendor Greycon to implement its opt-Studio production planning solution.

Greycon's opt-Studio provided a multi-stage planning tool that integrated seamlessly with TFP's ERP system via Integration Manager. The implementation, which was streamlined as TFP's parent company was already a Greycon customer, delivered significant results. The solution automated data transfers, auto-updated production schedules with live data, and provided full order visibility. This led to a direct reduction in the time required to confirm the weekly production plan, eliminating manual input and improving responsiveness to customers.
