Case Study: Plastilite Corporation achieves optimized finite-capacity scheduling with User Solutions' Resource Manager-DB

Plastilite generates an optimized schedule in 1 week with User Solutions

Plastilite Corporation, a manufacturer of insulated packaging, faced a challenge with its manual and complex production scheduling process after implementing a new Fourth Shift ERP system. The ERP's scheduling module was not advanced enough to manage the complexities of their many injection molding machines with varying tool configurations. To solve this, Fourth Shift recommended User Solutions and their Resource Manager-DB product for advanced production planning.

User Solutions implemented Resource Manager-DB, which integrated with the new ERP system to generate a finite capacity constrained schedule. Within just one week, the vendor successfully imported data, managed variable tooling constraints, and produced an optimized schedule. This solution eliminated the manual scheduling process, with Plastilite's CFO noting that User Solutions absolutely delivered on their promise and strongly recommended them to other manufacturers.
