IQMS Helps Drive 60 Percent Growth
for
Leading Short-Run Manufacturer
Donnelly
Custom Manufacturing Optimizes Operations, Doubles Complexity with
EnterpriseIQ
(Paso Robles, CA) August 28, 2007 - IQMS, a
leader in the design and development of Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) software, today announced that Alexandria, Minnesota based
Donnelly Custom Manufacturing, a leading short-run injection molder,
has driven 60 percent growth with widely-used, single source EnterpriseIQ
software. As a long-standing IQMS customer, Donnelly has seen across-the-board
improvements and optimized efficiency to double its complexity swiftly
and with a smaller office staff than was in place before installing
IQMS.
"There are a lot of hard truths in our industry
that we need software to manage," says Ron Kirscht president
at Donnelly. "For example, we might have one tool that makes
64 parts every cycle. A lot of ERP systems can't handle these truths.
You have to lie to the system to trick it into doing what you need
it to do, but EnterpriseIQ can handle the truth. It easily manages
many key aspects of our business and simplifies processes so we
can embrace a greater level of complexity and manage it well."
The significance of Kirscht's statement is best seen by truly understanding
the level of complexity Donnelly competitively manages using EnterpriseIQ.
Plante & Moran, the nation's 11th largest certified public accounting
and business advisory firm, defines manufacturing complexity as
the number of active resins multiplied by the number of active presses
multiplied again by the number of active molds a company has in
process. The upper quartile of this index is 1.2 million, but Donnelly's
complexity index tops 42 million.
"In today's demand economy, short-run manufacturing
is growing exponentially complex," explains Randy Flamm, president
and founder of IQMS. "That complexity translates into growth
potential, but to remain competitive, companies like Donnelly must
strategically optimize operations for efficiency and quality. EnterpriseIQ
is proven best suited to help all types of manufacturers do just
that by providing advanced and feature-rich solutions designed specifically
for their industries. As a committed business partner to each of
our customers, we are truly pleased to support the growing success
of leading companies like Donnelly Custom Manufacturing."
