Wolverine Advanced Materials replaced manual scheduling, inventory, and order systems with Plex Cloud ERP across facilities in Virginia, Florida, and Germany. The system delivered real-time perpetual inventory, barcode tracking, and integrated production control for a complex seven-to-eight-layer bill of materials. Results included lead time cut from 10 to 5 weeks, 60% less overtime, and elimination of paper-based three-way matching in accounts payable.

Key takeaways

First-pass quality rose 15-20% through better order grouping and fewer changeovers

Raw materials and work-in-process inventory reduced more than 30%

Lead time shortened from 10 weeks to 5 weeks with accurate perpetual inventory

Physical inventory counts now require under 30 people versus 60-70 previously

Aftermarket business more than doubled after demand-driven scheduling was enabled
