    “With Proalpha APS, we can now plan accurately, realistically, and in a time-saving manner.”

    Harald Wienberg
    Head of ERP/Organizational Development, Wesemann GmbH

    Highlights

    Storage space becomes production space

    By reducing material stocks, Wesemann was able to remove 75% of its shelving space and convert it into productive space.

    Latest possible start of production with maximum flexibility

    Thanks to detailed planning with Proalpha APS, production only starts at the latest possible time. This prevents overcrowding and increases responsiveness in the event of schedule changes.

    Detailed planning enables production in line with customer requirements

    Production is precisely coordinated with construction site logistics. This means that what is needed first is manufactured first. This can be done, for example, by floor or product group.

    What was the initial situation?

    Wesemann used to produce with long lead times and large safety stocks in order to compensate for scheduling uncertainties in the project business. Storage areas were overcrowded and there was a lack of finely tuned production planning. This severely limited flexibility in the event of short-term changes.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    With its APS module, Proalpha offered a solution for managing production in a flexible, resource-efficient, and timely manner. The ability to plan multiple resources and prioritize orders was crucial. In addition, the ability to convert complex project structures into logical delivery groups was convincing.

    How can success be measured?

    Storage space was reduced by 75% and converted into productive space. Production planning is now significantly more efficient, flexible, and on schedule. Wesemann is now able to implement just-in-time production and respond more quickly to project changes.

    Proalpha Benefits

    Detailed planning saves time and resources

    With Proalpha APS, Wesemann can plan realistically, flexibly, and in a time-saving manner, even when changes arise at short notice.

    Reduced inventories lower costs

    Optimized material flows and shorter storage times eliminate the need for safety stocks. This saves space and capital.

    Just-in-time production becomes reality

    The introduction of APS lays the foundation for production based on the model of the automotive industry: on time and efficient.
