Case Study: Magal Engineering Tech Ltd achieves rapid Lean ERP implementations with WinMan ERP

Why WinMan is an essential tool in our success toolkit

Magal Engineering Tech Ltd, part of the Magal group with over 50 years in automotive engineering, faced the challenge of keeping UK manufacturing competitive while rapidly acquiring and transforming underperforming businesses. Each acquired company needed quick, Lean-aligned ERP implementations without disrupting day-to-day operations; previous complex systems often hindered performance. To meet this need Magal chose the WinMan ERP system.

WinMan ERP was implemented as a Lean-focused, easy-to-use manufacturing solution, with migrations and data cleansing (AP Drivelines moved 38,000 part numbers in from a former system that held over 100,000). Implementations went live in weeks to months (Western Thomson Plastics in 3 weeks; AP Drivelines in 4 months), WinMan automated in excess of 3,000 electronic Kanbans, prevents negative stock values, and has been the group standard across Magal’s UK companies for over 5 years — delivering faster rollouts, greater stock accuracy and stronger supplier integration.
