Case Study: Sumiden Wire achieves 10% production growth with Synchrono SyncManufacturing

Global Wire Manufacturer Instantly Increases Production Pace

Sumiden Wire, a manufacturer of stainless steel wire products with an extremely complex line of 10,000 items, was struggling to manage orders and raw materials using a semi-manual process. The company needed a better way to handle instantaneous scheduling and real-time communication across the business within tight capacity constraints, and turned to Synchrono Manufacturing Software and its SyncManufacturing software.

Synchrono Manufacturing Software implemented SyncManufacturing to give planners full visibility into machine capacity, outstanding orders, and available materials so they could schedule work more efficiently. Within about six months, Sumiden Wire increased production by 10%, set an all-time production record in its first full month on the system, and raised utilization on a key constrained machine from about 65% to 100%, generating roughly $60,000 in bottom-line gains in one month.
