Planning Efficiency	Manual scheduling	40% more efficient	40% improvement through schedule adherence

The Challenge

Scanfil, a leading electronics contract manufacturer with 10 production sites globally, needed to become a best-in-class electronics manufacturing service while handling a shift to lower volume, higher mix products. They needed improved productivity, quality control, planning efficiency, NPI velocity, and regulatory compliance with automated traceability.

The Solution

Scanfil selected Siemens Opcenter Execution as their Manufacturing Operations Management platform for their 5-year Smart Operations Program. Opcenter covered the full end-to-end manufacturing process including electronics and mechanical manufacturing, integration capabilities, and full supply chain traceability with ERP integration.

Results

Within months of go-live, Scanfil achieved at least 10% productivity improvement through changeover and operational efficiencies. Cost of poor quality was reduced by approximately 20%. Planning efficiency improved by 40% through greater schedule adherence and elimination of manual scheduling.

Key Takeaways

Smart Operations programs deliver measurable KPI improvements within months, not years
End-to-end MOM platforms are essential for high-mix electronics manufacturing
Automated traceability is both a regulatory requirement and an efficiency driver
