Metal Design

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.

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

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.

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