Case Study: Fort Recovery Industries achieves real-time inventory visibility and streamlined operations with Plex Systems

Fort Recovery Industries Moves Toward Perpetual Inventory, Gaining Visibility and Streamlining

Fort Recovery Industries, a fully integrated zinc and aluminum die caster, was struggling with limited visibility, manual Excel-based tracking, and weak serialized inventory control across its U.S. plants and China operation. To improve operational efficiency and move toward perpetual inventory, the company implemented Plex Systems with support from Plante Moran.

Plex Systems helped Fort Recovery Industries digitize paper-based processes, enable real-time production and inventory reporting, and improve plant-level visibility and traceability. The results included cutting month-end close from two weeks to just 3–4 days, reducing lead times, increasing accuracy, and shifting the team from reactive problem-solving to proactive planning with real-time data.
