Agile Manufacturing

 

Our Enterprise Resource Planning Systems allow for truly flexible, agile and responsive manufacturing and are proven to enhance company performance and customer satisfaction.

Agile manufacturing allows different manufacturing processes to be used in conjunction to maximize production and minimize cost.

The rules based product configuration software, used in our “build to order” system, means that no stockholding is required and that each product can be made to suit a customer’s requirements, such as a specific style or finish.

The dimensions and configuration of the product can also be altered, providing multiple and variable product options whilst still ensuring they still remain cost effective and controlled.

A significant added bonus is that with no old stock to run down or dispose of, new designs can be brought to market quicker, keeping up with changing demands.
