ActaFi has been engaged with a Plastics Industry manufacturer with HQ’s in Los Angeles, and manufacturing facilities in Indiana, where the organization needed to scale and duplicate the best practices of its LA location. The organization was always hands on during the manufacturing process, as scientists would pull R&D samples real-time; however with one caveat, no centralized repository for the manufacturing process, end-to-end.
ActaFi listened to C-Suite members, admin members, production members, and there was limited standardization in the process, even just to manufacture “one” batch of material consistently day to day. We provided the company a supply chain strategy on how we could, leverage on the existing ERP with a manufacturer app, and start from the ground up. We instilled global best practices to meet ISO regulations, reduced waste, increased output substantially, and applied new packaging all within a short few months.
Our test came at the end of our strategy implementation, when we reviewed all the new manufacturing reports which became available, from the bill of materials to work orders, and production yields to finished goods to all the supply chain team members. It truly was like night and day for the organization. They took this strategy further and even implemented international manufacturing sites.
