Auburn Hills-based Plex Systems Inc. has announced availability of a new video case study of Ralco Industries at Plex Systems’ Resource Center.

The video case study presents information on how Ralco was able to achieve ROI in just over one year after implementing software-as-a-service enterprise resource planning system Plex Online.

Ralco reduced annual premium freight costs by more than 20 percent, limited scrap rates by more than 60 percent and cut downtime and employee turnover through leveraging this technology.

“Ralco Industries presents a telling example of how a Tier One automotive supplier can introduce efficiencies into the manufacturing process and achieve a rapid ROI on their investment,” said Plex Systems marketing vice president Patrick Fetterman. “Manufacturers are seeking technology solutions that enable them to empower workers to function more efficiently and drive waste out of the system, which is critical for competing in the global marketplace.”

Plex Systems is the exclusive sponsor of the World Class Manufacturing sessions at the 2010 Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars Aug. 2 – 5 in Traverse City. Plex Systems is also sponsoring social media at the event. Search Twitter at #MBS2010 for the latest news about the CAR Management Briefing Seminars.

Plex Online extends beyond the boundaries of legacy ERP software  to provide a comprehensive system for manufacturers, including manufacturing execution systems and quality management systems functions for the factory floor, customer relationship management features for sales and marketing, and supplier management functions for procurement.
