Case Study: Wieland reduces waste and improves planning with Greycon X-Trim

Wieland - Customer Case Study

Wieland, a metals company, faced challenges in its planning process, which was limited to grouping a few orders against a single master coil. As a quick-turn slitting operation, they also had physical run length limits to meet shipping requirements. They sought to reduce waste, overrun, and improve their restocking process. To address this, they implemented the X-Trim optimization tool from vendor Greycon.

Greycon implemented its X-Trim software, which was administered on the Amazon Web Services platform. The solution provided the ability to combine and optimize multiple master coils against multiple sales orders, increasing production throughput. The implementation reduced waste and overrun, provided visibility of available inventory, and improved the management of the restock process. According to Wieland's Director of Information Technology, Greycon's tool delivered excellent results and ROI.
