Case Study: J&E Manufacturing Co achieves higher productivity and on-time delivery with Infor VISUAL

J&E Manufacturing Improves Productivity with Infor VISUAL

J&E Manufacturing, a contract maker of precision metal components with five facilities in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and western Wisconsin, faced the typical pressures of custom manufacturing: short lead times, a high mix of parts, and frequent last-minute orders. These conditions created heavy manual scheduling work, frequent errors, poor visibility of workloads and due dates, and difficulty managing inventory.

By implementing Infor VISUAL ERP and its scheduling tools, J&E automated work-order and material-requirement creation, giving planners clear visibility into workloads and due dates. The solution reduced missed ship dates, required fewer staff for scheduling and purchasing, boosted on-time delivery and overall productivity, and lowered on-hand inventory by calculating materials precisely when needed.
