What Metal Design was trying to fix

Metal Design, a 30-year-old family-run metal components manufacturer, was struggling to juggle complex orders, manage detailed production specs, and meet tight deadlines. Their existing systems could not keep pace with growing production demands.

What Metal Design deployed

Metal Design implemented Opcenter Scheduling, which provided a production planning tool for a company of their size. The system changed how customer inquiries and production data were handled.

Results

The company hit record production levels, tripling their usual monthly output without adding new equipment or staff. Customer inquiries that previously took 4 hours are now handled in 15 minutes. Production data analysis went from 2 hours to minutes. The technology also boosted client confidence.

Key Takeaways

  • Even small family-run manufacturers can triple monthly output with digital scheduling
  • Faster customer inquiry response time directly builds client confidence and trust
  • Production output can multiply without new equipment when scheduling is optimized
