Infor VISUAL Case Study

A metal stamping and assembly firm in the Midwestern U.S. was challenged with managing frequent and aggressive engineering changes due to rapid prototyping work. The company needed to implement a proven solution that enables them to forecast workload and create a precise manufacturing plan based on available resources; as well as better manage inventory to reduce shortages.

The manufacturer implemented an Infor VISUAL solution including time and attendance. The results:

  • Implementation complete in 6 months
  • Visibility into impacts of schedule changes
  • Intergrated labor reporting and payroll saves time and reduces mistakes
  • Reduced inventory cost
