Case Study: Kendrick Plastics streamlines automotive manufacturing with Plex Systems

Kendrick Plastics streamlines PO approvals to 5 minutes with Plex Systems

Kendrick Plastics, an automotive supplier of interior trim components, faced inefficiency after being spun off from a larger parent company. They were burdened by 27 disparate software systems, which created data silos, required manual data entry, and hindered innovation. To scale appropriately, they sought a modern, integrated system and chose to implement the Plex multi-tenant cloud ERP and manufacturing execution system (MES).

By implementing Plex, Kendrick consolidated their systems onto a single cloud platform. The solution provided real-time data, quality control via PLC integrations, and enabled barcode scanning. Results included streamlining the purchase order process from multiple days to five minutes, eliminating 40 hours per week of manual data entry, and significantly reducing scrap. Plex also provided reliable uptime and empowered the company with greater financial visibility and operational agility.
