Gehring Goes Live with Encompix ERP Software in Just Six Months
Established in 1976, Gehring L.P. launched its North American
operations in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
The 50,000 square foot facility provides a full service machine
tool operation, engineering and assembly of custom precision
honing machines, comprehensive research and development
services, contract honing services, tooling re-work services, a
highly skilled team of service technicians, spare parts and
in-house manufacturing of super-abrasives by another Gehring
Group member, Diato L.P.
After a six-month implementation Gehring L.P. went live on
Encompix, the nation's leading ETO (Engineer-to-Order) ERP
system. The implementation or champion team was comprised of
eight representatives from each department, including both
end-users and managers. As with most successful implementations,
the president was heavily involved and committed to the
project's success.
Adrian Mitrea was the project manager for the Encompix
implementation. According to Mitrea, "We are seeing a
streamlining of our processes with better communication between
departments. Our people can see the whole process and not just
their piece. They now understand the effect their work has on
downstream operations, and we now have the discipline to make
things happen the right way. This is a direct result of having a
single, integrated system."
According to TR Cutler, spokesperson for the ETO Institute
(www.etoinstitute.org), "This Gehring implementation is
indicative of the type of efficiency process many ETO
manufacturers are completing to stay competitive in a global
economy."
Encompix (www.encompix.com) has filled the manufacturing
software requirements of Engineer-to-Order companies since 1992.
The company name reflects the commitment to developing business
application solutions that encompass the complex areas of
project-based and job-based manufacturing. Encompix provides ETO
manufacturers with a competitive advantage by improving bottom
line results.
