How do you cut your lead time from 36 to 16 weeks on custom designed and very complex products?
Through a combination of process streamlining and focused application software. This prominent
manufacturer of high-quality elevator and escalator systems has ramped up Configuration
Solutions applications to generate Bills of Material, as well as drawings of these complex
configured products. The company is saving about $600,000 of engineering time per year through a
combination of CS-Enterprise and AutoCAD.
According to this company: "CS Enterprise has become the heart and soul of our engineering
process."
For elevators, which have 1,500-2,000 parts, CS-Enterprise configures all mechanical, electrical and
fixture components and assemblies. The order-through-engineering process that once took 8-12
weeks is now down to 2-3 weeks through a combination of process streamlining and automation.
