Automotive plastics suppliers are under increasing pressure to deliver flawless quality, maintain complete traceability, meet customer-specific requirements, and respond rapidly to production disruptions—all while operating with lean teams and limited IT resources. For many mid-sized manufacturers, disconnected ERP, production, and quality systems create data silos that hinder visibility, delay corrective actions, and elevate the risk of costly customer complaints, scrap, and non-conformance events.
In this 45-minute webinar, learn how DELMIAWorks’ integrated ERP and real-time Manufacturing Execution System (MES) provide a unified approach to quality management across both the shop floor and the enterprise. You will hear from Geoff Foster, CEO and Founder of Core Technology, who will share his success story on how he elevated his operations with ERP and real-time MES quality management. Discover how his transformation has led to increased customer satisfaction, improved quality, streamlined operations, and enhanced financial efficiency.
We will also address common challenges faced by mid-sized injection molders, blow molders, and extrusion operations in the automotive industry, including labor constraints, compliance requirements, manual data collection, and delayed quality reporting. Attendees will explore practical examples illustrating how an integrated ERP/MES platform can reduce scrap, improve first-pass yield, accelerate root-cause analysis, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
