Case Study: Quanex Building Products achieves lean manufacturing and improved engineering document control with Synergis Software’s Adept

Quanex Building Products streamlines 43-user engineering document control with Synergis Software

Quanex Building Products, an industry-leading manufacturer of building components, faced significant challenges managing engineering documents and processes across multiple sites. They were using inefficient systems like Windows Explorer across thousands of folders, leading to version control issues, lost files, and difficulty maintaining ISO certification. To achieve lean manufacturing goals and synchronize disparate data, they turned to Synergis Software and implemented its Adept engineering document management solution.

Synergis Software's Adept system provided a centralized platform to manage all CAD files, engineering change orders, ISO documentation, and safety data sheets. The solution streamlined workflows, eliminated manual "hand carry" processes, and ensured only the latest document revisions were in use. This resulted in measurable increases in engineering productivity, a more efficient ISO certification process, and supported Quanex's overall lean and Six Sigma business goals.
