Case Study: SPF America LLC achieves operational excellence, 10%+ margin growth and 98% on-time delivery with Plex Systems

Spf Achieves Operational Excellence While Maximizing Profitability With Plex

Southern Precision Fabrication (SPF) America, LLC is a Fort Smith, AR metal-forming company with over 45 years’ experience producing copper bus bars, connectors and precision assemblies for OEMs. SPF struggled with an aging ERP that required external data retention, limited plant-floor visibility, manual spreadsheet work, and inconsistent quality costing—issues that hampered scheduling, production control and timely decision-making.

SPF selected Plex ERP with implementation support from Control+M, going live after a nine-month rollout, and deployed IntelliPlex analytics for real-time shop-floor dashboards. The result: improved scheduling, throughput and material control; automated OEE and KPI tracking; margin growth of 10%+, OTD up roughly 40% (now ~98%), and a reduction in temporary labor from 20 to 3—while increasing sales without adding headcount.
