North American Clutch & Driveline is both a manufacturer and a distributor. They manufacture and sell clutch and driveline products for many applications such as automotive, agricultural and industrial. The company employs around 40 people and is located just north of the Ticomix headquarters in Rockford, IL.
Problem
North American Clutch & Driveline (NACD) is in constant competition with foreign companies located in countries where labor costs are much lower overall. In order to stay with or above the competition NACD was in need of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that would help accomplish their goal of knowing purchase versus manufacturing costs as well as having a solid picture of labor costs at all levels of production.
Solution
Ticomix worked with the production manager at NACD to create custom reports using formulas specifically designed for NACD to analyze cost data, this allowed for all data collected to be turned into smart business choices.
Ticomix also created a tool for NACD to analyze their real-time inventory, which was another for NACD to reduce their overhead costs. By adding a bar-code data collection tool, users can quickly scan items out of inventory and instantly the tables are updated so that their sales team is aware of the change. Bill Clemens, Production Manager at NACD said “We have designed our work order forms to include bar-codes. Our warehouse personnel can now easily and quickly issue critical parts to work orders and Real-Time Inventory Balances have become a reality.”
