挑战

Amtech Electrocircuits faced the challenge of managing both direct and indirect costs in a highly complex and custom environment. The company needed to optimize purchasing, balance inventory levels, and maximize process yield while tracking and managing customer requirements. Additionally, they had to ensure compliance with standards like ISO 9000, APQP, and FMEA. The complexity was further compounded by the need to manage multiple Approved Manufacturer Lists (AMLs) for different customers, which required careful planning and sourcing to avoid excess inventory and maintain economies of scale.

解决方案

To address these challenges, Amtech Electrocircuits implemented the Aras Innovator Solution Suite, an enterprise open-source PLM system. The company chose Aras for its flexibility, openness, and web-based nature, which aligned with Amtech's heavy use of web applications. The PLM system helped Amtech manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) and decrease cycle times for new product introductions from 2-3 weeks to 2-3 days. Additionally, Amtech integrated Aras PLM with their custom MRP system, UnifyMRP, and their ERP system, creating a seamless '1-2-3 Punch' for managing processes and data. This integration allowed Amtech to optimize purchasing, balance inventory levels, and maximize process yield while maintaining high quality and compliance standards.
