About The Customer
Harvey Performance Company is a leading provider of high-quality precision tooling. The company focuses on innovation and technical expertise to deliver products that help customers in the manufacturing and metalworking industries solve their challenging machining requirements. These industries include aerospace, medical, automotive, mold and die, defense, and energy. Harvey has undergone significant growth in recent years, acquiring five companies and bringing together a diverse range of brands, locations, and IT systems. The company fosters a culture of continuous improvement and has been able to harness its deep organizational knowledge with the help of Nintex Process Manager.
The Challenge
Harvey Performance Company, a leading provider of high-quality precision tooling, experienced significant growth through the acquisition of five companies. This expansion brought together a diverse range of brands, locations, and IT systems, leading to a complex and fragmented operational environment. The company was faced with the challenge of integrating multiple ERP systems and standardizing operating procedures across the organization. The existing processes were inconsistent and varied across different locations due to the diverse IT systems inherited from the acquired companies. The company needed a solution that would not only consolidate and streamline its standard operating procedures (SOPs) but also foster a culture of continuous improvement.
The Solution
Harvey Performance Company implemented the Nintex Process Manager to strengthen and standardize its SOPs across the organization. The solution provided a centralized, cloud-based platform for all processes, enabling the company to develop, store, and use SOPs consistently across the organization. The Nintex Process Manager also facilitated the creation of inbuilt training materials for upskilling current staff and training new staff. The system was designed to be user-friendly, which led to widespread adoption among staff. The transition to the consolidated ERP solution also provided an opportunity to move SOP process documentation online. For example, the process for creating new purchase orders was made accessible online for the entire organization. The new technology allowed Harvey to build processes based on how teams work, with a deep understanding of company operations and transactions.

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).
