Customer Success Story : Tamarack Products
Increase Machine Utilization To Gain Shop Floor Efficiency
By combining ERP data with real-time shop floor data, Alora helped Tamarack Products see the utilization of each machine, helping the company improve profitability and achieve increased machine utilization by 10%. Hear Stephanie Felber, VP of Finance for Tamarack Products, share how she uses Alora to do more with less.
Machine utilization increase in one year
Annual revenue increase
Increase in headcount
“"I know when the machine shop finished every part, and I know about the utilization of each machine going into each part. That’s essential to our profitability."”
Stephanie and the ECI team led Tamarack through a six-month implementation process. ECI’s team set up Alora, transitioned the machines and operators to the software, tested the system’s communications capabilities, made sure the system was running smoothly, and trained Tamarack’s operators. The company plans to set up monitors at each station. For now, the Shop Manager reports the utilization data to the team on a weekly basis.
No increase in headcount is needed
Tamarack has increased their shop's productivity without an increase in headcount, helping them steer clear of the current manufacturing labor issues.
Improved machine utilization in one year
Tamarack has achieved a 10% increase in machine utilization, with further increases expected as they find efficiencies with Alora and JobBOSS².
Increased revenue
Before implementing JobBOSS² in 2019, Tamarack’s annual revenues were $6 million. Now they have risen to $10 million.
Data-driven decision-making
Alora is moving Tamarack Products from status quo to data-driven decision-making, keeping them competitive.
“Alora along with JobBOSS² can show us what we need to do, when we need to do it, and how quickly we can do it.”
