Trek Bicycle Corporation

Trek Bicycle, a leading specialty bike manufacturer with a high-mix, low-volume, build-to-order business, was experiencing high growth and needed a scheduling solution that would scale. They needed to create efficiencies from design to manufacturing, perform longer-term capacity analyses, and eliminate manual processes.

Trek implemented Siemens Opcenter Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) as the foundation of their digital transformation. Out of the box, Opcenter APS automated and optimized their capacity planning and production scheduling, enabling digital scenario testing before production started.

Trek more than doubled the amount of scheduling performed with the same size team. Customer deliveries were accelerated, and operational efficiency was significantly improved through the elimination of manual scheduling processes.

• Out-of-the-box APS solutions can deliver immediate value for high-mix, low-volume manufacturers
• Digital scenario testing before production reduces risk and improves outcomes
• Scaling scheduling capacity without adding headcount is a key ROI driver
