Case Study: NucFil achieves 60% faster throughput with iGrafx Process360 Live

NucFil reduces throughput time by 60% with iGrafx

NucFil, LLC, an award-winning manufacturer of specialized nuclear waste handling equipment, faced significant operational challenges. Their factory floor was beset by inventory backlogs and process inefficiencies, exacerbated by government contracts requiring batch purchases that left materials sitting idle. Their old-fashioned workflows and basic flowcharting tools were inadequate for improvement. Quality Director Dave Sauder turned to iGrafx and its Process360 Live solution to bring order and understanding to their processes.

Using iGrafx Process360 Live for process mining, modeling, and simulation, NucFil was able to visualize workflows, identify bottlenecks, and design optimized "to-be" processes. This data-driven approach accelerated decision-making and built consensus, allowing the company to shift from a "push" to a "pull" manufacturing approach. The implementation resulted in a 60% reduction in throughput time on the factory floor. iGrafx provided the tools to not only achieve this significant measurable impact but also to plan for future process improvements across other companies in their corporate group.
