Challenges

AJ Manufacturing, an exclusive manufacturer of professional mechanics tools was juggling a complex product schedule across thousands of SKUs and raw material pieces.

The company was looking for a solution that could automate the entire process from Excel worksheets, and proactively proactively forecast manufacturing schedules to satisfy demand.

Solutions

AJ Manufacturing gained end-to-end visibility into their production processes, saving money and preparing their production line for future challenges.

Build Simulation – ConverSight provided Build Simulation storyboards, determining how many units needed to be manufactured and when, based on current inventory and demand.

Materials Resource Planning (MRP) – ConverSight analyzed stock inventory levels, demand forecasts, and work orders to proactively determine when current raw materials will run out, and when to get more.

Build Insights – With 3,000+ products and parts, AJ had non-moving stock on their shelves; ConverSight provided stock insights, showing where their money is so they can work with suppliers to re-negotiate and save money.

Multiple hours saved on reporting and planning each day.
Instant increase in margins and sales.
