Operating in over 130 countries worldwide, the company develops high-quality deboning, cutting and skinning machines, as well as automation systems for the meat processing industry. MAJA also produces ice machines for supermarkets, caterers and bakeries, as well as artificial snow solutions for slopes.

    Highlights

    Delivery times reduced by a third

    By using the APS module, the average delivery time was reduced from five to six weeks to three to four weeks. This increases competitiveness and customer satisfaction.

    Overtime in individual parts production reduced to zero

    Before the introduction, overtime amounted to 21 hours per employee per month. Today, it has been completely eliminated, which reduces the workload on employees and saves costs.

    Inventories reduced by around 30%

    The introduction of APS led to a significant reduction in circulating inventories and in-house production parts. Bottlenecks were almost completely eliminated.

    What was the initial situation?

    MAJA worked with numerous isolated systems and an external PPS that was rigidly oriented toward batch sizes. Planning was inflexible, and delivery dates were often not met. Discussions between sales and production were the order of the day.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha impressed with its integrated complete ERP solution and APS module for multi-resource planning. The solution enables transparent processes and flexible responses to fluctuations in demand. It also provides a central database for all areas of the company.

    How can success be measured?

    Delivery times have been reduced by a third, and overtime in production has fallen to zero. Inventories have been reduced by around 30%, and production planning is now completely transparent. Bottlenecks and unnecessary production orders are a thing of the past.

    Proalpha Benefits

    Transparent production planning

    Proalpha enables simultaneous planning of material flow and capacities. Priorities can be set flexibly and urgent orders can be inserted at short notice.

    Efficient use of resources

    The APS module optimizes the use of materials, tools, personnel, and time. This enables production orders to be planned realistically and implemented on schedule.

    Clear rules for scheduling and production

    The integrated solution creates uniform processes and reduces discussions between sales, scheduling, and production. This increases process reliability and predictability.
