Case Study: Winter & Freis achieves more efficient production planning with NETRONIC Visual Production Scheduler

How Winter & Freis achieved more efficient planning, smoother processes, and happier employees

Winter & Freis, a family-run manufacturer of transport equipment and containers in Germany, faced significant challenges in production planning. Their analog planning methods were inefficient and time-consuming, and the introduction of their ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, did not fully resolve these issues. They needed a fully integrated, visual planning tool to manage their complex, high-volume orders and reduce administrative effort.

The vendor NETRONIC implemented its Visual Production Scheduler (VPS) for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The solution provided a transparent, graphical planning board that significantly reduced daily planning time by several hours, improved on-time deliveries, and increased employee satisfaction through more stable and reliable scheduling. NETRONIC's tool delivered a more efficient and effective planning process for the customer.
