Case Studies

Streamlining Complex Fabrication & Subcontracting for a Large Industrial Manufacturer

Challenge

A large manufacturer specializing in custom industrial metal components faced significant hurdles managing complex, multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs) and coordinating numerous subcontracting operations across an extensive vendor network. Lack of real-time visibility into job card progress and inefficient material transfers to subcontractors led to frequent production delays, increased administrative costs, and difficulty in meeting tight deadlines.

Solution

The implementation of SigzenMETAL provided robust tools to manage their intricate processes. The Advanced Metal Subcontracting workflow allowed configuration directly at the BOM level, automated the transfer of raw materials to job worker warehouses, and enabled the consolidation of multiple job cards into single subcontracting orders. Enhanced Job Card Functionality offered real-time status updates and integrated asset/tool tracking for improved shop floor control within the metal ERP system.

Results

The manufacturer achieved a 25% reduction in average subcontracting lead times, a 15% decrease in administrative overhead related to managing subcontracting orders, and improved their overall on-time delivery rate by 20% due to the enhanced visibility and streamlined process automation provided by SigzenMETAL.

Enhancing Quality Control and Reducing Scrap in Precision Metal Parts Manufacturing

Challenge

A medium-sized company producing high-tolerance precision metal parts for the aerospace sector struggled with inconsistent quality control procedures across different shifts, leading to high scrap rates. Inefficient rework processes and difficulty in accurately tracking material wastage impacted profitability and cost estimation accuracy.

Solution

SigzenMETAL’s Comprehensive Quality Control (QC) and Testing module was implemented, enabling automated QC record generation upon job card completion or pause. Standardized rework workflows for rejected quantities were established directly within the metal ERP. The Scrap Variance reporting feature provided detailed insights into actual vs. expected scrap, helping identify key areas for process improvement.

Results

The company successfully reduced its overall scrap rate by 30% within the first year. First-pass yield (parts passing QC first time) improved by 18%. Furthermore, accurate tracking of scrap, including re-use value, allowed for more precise manufacturing cost calculations and optimized material procurement, leading to improved profit margins.
