Case Study: pkChemicals achieves dramatically improved on-time delivery with NETRONIC Visual Production Scheduler

How pkChemicals dramatically increased their KPI for on-time delivery

pkChemicals, a global leader producing fine chemicals for the pharmaceutical and medical industries, faced challenges with interdepartmental coordination and providing customers with reliable delivery dates. Their reliance on Excel spreadsheets and verbal agreements for planning led to a lack of transparency and a low on-time delivery KPI. To address this, they turned to vendor NETRONIC and its Visual Production Scheduler add-in for Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

The NETRONIC solution provided a visual overview of the entire production process, bringing transparency to order statuses across all departments. While implementing the necessary data maintenance practices was challenging, the results were significant. NETRONIC's tool dramatically increased pkChemicals' KPI for on-time delivery, exposed previously unknown production risk factors, and helped to avoid the double booking of machines.
