Plastics Molding Technology, Inc.
Implements IQMS for ERP Solution
Comprehensive
Functionality, Manufacturing Expertise Make EnterpriseIQ Perfect
Fit
Paso Robles, CA, July 29, 2008 - IQMS, a leader
in the design and development of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
software, today announced that Plastics Molding Technology, Inc.
(PMT), a leading custom insert molding company, has implemented
its Enterprise IQ LE software package. PMT completed the implementation
in five months and is now better equipped to drive lean, efficient
operations across its total supply chain. PMT serves the electronic,
medical, automotive and consumer appliance industries. The company
selected EnterpriseIQ because it delivers comprehensive functionality
specifically designed to keep plastics manufacturing lean.
"As part of PMT's commitment to quality, we operate
with a philosophy of continuous improvement," said Chuck Sholtis,
chief executive officer at PMT. "Rapid growth was taxing our
previous ERP system, creating internal communication issues and
hampering our lean efforts. We needed a robust yet affordable ERP
solution that could manage our accounting and manufacturing requirements
while still supporting our continued growth. Systems like EnterpriseIQ
can help U.S. manufacturers compete worldwide. In fact, we are proud
that we export product to China and Mexico. Being a cost effective
supplier is increasingly important in the global marketplace, so
this investment will yield benefits far into the future. EnterpriseIQ
provides the perfect fit because it addresses issues specific to
plastic manufacturing such as on-time delivery, order accuracy,
quality and pricing, even across multiple cavitations, yet the system
is scalable so we can cost-effectively manage our long-term growth
and success."
PMT previously used four separate systems to manage
its enterprise operations: a packaged ERP solution for manufacturing;
a complex, home-grown, spreadsheet-based system for accounting;
a stand-alone system for estimating; and another stand-alone system
for production monitoring. PMT has the ideal single-source, single-database
system for managing a streamlined manufacturing process utilizing
the EnterpriseIQ LE system and using supporting modules like RealTime
Machine Monitoring for instant and accurate production data, ShopData
a visual front-end to plant floor performance and manufacturing
management, and the wireless Warehouse Management System (WMS) to
simplify inventory management.
"Particularly in today's demanding economy, manufacturers
need to stay focused on lean manufacturing principles and constantly
look for a competitive edge," explains Randy Flamm, president
and founder of IQMS. "In order to remain successful, companies
like PMT must optimize operations for efficiency and quality. IQMS
is committed to helping companies like PMT succeed in their ever-changing
and complex industry by providing advanced and feature-rich solutions
designed specifically for manufacturers."
