关于客户
FCC North America is a prominent clutch assembly manufacturer with a comprehensive product development and manufacturing system. The company has a long history of success, beginning in 1948 when it started supplying clutches to Honda. Over the years, FCC has expanded its product catalog to cover automotive, powersports, and power equipment, establishing itself as a key player in the manufacturing industry. Located in Portland, Indiana, FCC North America is committed to innovation and efficiency, continuously seeking ways to enhance its operations and serve a broader range of automakers. The company's dedication to quality and customer satisfaction has driven its growth and success in the competitive manufacturing sector.
挑战
FCC North America, a leading clutch assembly manufacturer, faced the challenge of modernizing its paper-based shop floor processes to efficiently serve a growing number of automakers. The need for digitization became more pressing after a tsunami in Japan forced the company to reconsider its on-premise computing approach. This event led FCC to explore cloud solutions, marking a significant shift in its ERP evaluation process. The company recognized that to remain competitive and meet the demands of new customers, it needed to adopt a modern enterprise resource planning system that could streamline operations and improve efficiency.
解决方案
To address its challenges, FCC North America implemented the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform, a cloud-based ERP solution that enabled the company to digitize its shop floor processes. This transition to a cloud solution was a strategic move that allowed FCC to modernize its operations and improve efficiency. To maximize the benefits of the Plex platform, FCC also engaged with Plex Platinum Support, which provided prompt attention to day-to-day support needs and timely resolutions for complex issues. The collaboration with Plex Platinum Support was particularly valuable during the transition to the Plex UX interface, as it ensured that FCC's team was well-trained and proficient in using the new system. The mentoring sessions offered by Plex Platinum Support facilitated greater adoption of the platform across the company, contributing to FCC's overall success.

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
