Case Study: Sonfarrel achieves 9x production throughput and eliminates expired inventory with INDUSTRIOS Software

Sonfarrel - Customer Case Study

SONFARREL, INC., a long-established aerospace components manufacturer, struggled with an ERP that emphasized finance over manufacturing control and needed a system to manage knowledge, production and inventory more intelligently. During their 2001 selection they chose INDUSTRIOS for its manufacturing focus and fit with their Lean/Six Sigma initiatives, engaging INDUSTRIOS Software Services for training, piloting and conversion.

INDUSTRIOS implemented Production Control, Production & Material Planning and Inventory modules, enabling pull-based production, real-time customer-service visibility and controlled inventory management. The results were dramatic: a nine‑times improvement in production throughput (verified by Honeywell), elimination of expired components, thousands of dollars saved from reduced excess inventory, improved order accuracy and faster customer responses (from a day to moments) following INDUSTRIOS deployment.
