Knife
Manufacturer
A knife manufacturer was able to complete a $95,000 project to
design and implement a new fully integrated management information system. As a
result of this assistance, the firm trimmed its backlog to a manageable level.
Inventory is now accounted for, located, and managed, and order entry is
streamlined. Customers are now receiving their product on-time and accurate.
Furniture Manufacturer
A furniture manufacturer was able to complete a $10,000 project to
create a new image for the company. Their new image includes a name change, a new web site
design, and pre-press direct mail pieces. As a result, the firm has experienced
a 25 percent increase in traffic to their showroom.
Jewelry Findings Manufacturer
A jewelry findings manufacturer was able to complete a $66,750
project to upgrade their outdated web site and product catalog. The web site
now provides customers with on-line ordering capabilities. The updated product
catalog is also tied into the web site, giving the firm’s sales organization the
flexibility to show prospective customers current items and stock quantities.
The firm has experienced a sharp decline in the number of calls they receive
from their sales representatives as their reps are now able to access all
necessary information from the web site.
Motion Controls Manufacturer
A manufacturer of motion controls and networked servo drives was
able to complete a
$65,200 project to obtain ISO 9000:2000 certification, and the CE
mark, which is required for sales of their product in the European Union. The CE
mark opened the door for the firm to begin bidding on projects in Europe. Today
the firm is being considered for two projects with combined projected sales of $5
million dollars spread over the next seven years. The ISO project has also
provided a boost to the firm’s organization and documentation structure, which
has appealed to many of the European companies they are trying to do business
with.
Coating Machines Manufacturer
A manufacturer of ceramic and metallic coating machines was able to
complete a
$55,000 project to design and integrate a new management
information system. The project eliminated the need for two outdated information
systems, as well as the time required to input information into two systems.
Today, that information is entered once; creating all the paperwork and feedback
necessary for that specific order. This has reduced input error and improved
delivery times on all equipment. |
