45% Faster Operation Closures & 33% Quicker Production with Oracle ERP

About the Client

A privately held US based global leader in manufacturing office and workspace solutions, offering products that enhance productivity, organization and workplace well-being. With a history of innovation spanning over a century, the company provides shredders, laminators, binding machines, ergonomic accessories, air purifiers, and other solutions designed to create safer, more efficient, and comfortable work environments worldwide.

The Challenge

The company’s manufacturing operations automation involved multiple work centres where some tasks could run in parallel. But Oracle ERP’s rigid sequential processing rules blocked the closure of any operation until its predecessor was complete.

This created unnecessary delays and forced manual workarounds like ad-hoc reservations which were error-prone, time-consuming, and prone to data inconsistencies.

KPI Targets: Speed, Accuracy, and Zero Manual Overrides

Reduce average operation closing time by 40%
Achieve 100% data accuracy for operation status
Eliminate all manual override requests
