Plex Systems has announced that Inteva has completed the launch of Plex Online at 14 of its global locations, including sites spanning two continents, four countries and four US states.
Inteva, formerly a division of Delphi selected Plex Online to replace SAP as its enterprise resource planning (ERP) manufacturing solution provider following a competitive global search. Inteva is utilising all core Plex Online modules including production, financials, purchasing, and supply chain management, said the company.
Plex Online now provides Inteva employees around the world with insight into day-to-day operations from the shop floor to the top floor and across all of its departments, divisions, and facilities. It makes consistent and integrated business information accessible to all workers, contributing to improved continuity, agility and adaptability.
In addition, Plex Online’s quality management system helps Inteva achieve continuous improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste throughout the supply chain.
Reportedly in January, Michigan-headquartered Inteva launched Plex Online in its European Headquarters and Technical Center in Wuppertal, Germany, and its Matamoras Operations Plant 2 in Matamoras, Mexico. This was followed by launches at its two manufacturing facilities in Alabama in April. The remaining launches were completed in June at all of Inteva’s other locations: two additional locations in Mexico, two additional locations in Germany, a site in Hungary, three locations in Michigan, one in Ohio, and one in Missouri.
Dennis Hodges, chief information officer of Inteva, said: Unlike most ERP launches I’ve seen, our migration to Plex Online was completed smoothly and quickly. The speed of this launch was especially remarkable given the complexity of integrating data from many different locations. Even though we just completed the launches, we have already realized operational cost savings from Plex Online. We’ve been able to significantly reduce the ongoing costs of running our systems.
