Modineer in Niles, a stamping and fabrication component supplier, has standardized its program management launch process using the Actify Automotive Program Management (APM) suite.
Actify is a Santa Rosa, Calif., provider of visualization and program management solutions for the automotive supply chain.
By standardizing operations across its manufacturing plants, Modineer states it is implementing a consistent, repeatable, and scalable program launch methodology designed to provide clarity and confidence to both internal stakeholders and OEM customers.
Modineer operates in a make-to-program environment where it engineers and delivers components to exact customer specifications. The company has expanded its fabrication capabilities through a series of acquisitions and capital investments.
For example, Mike Lewandowski, vice president of IT, was brought in with the purpose of unifying processes and deploying best-in-class systems across the entire company.
“We are all-in on Actify APM,” says Lewandowski. “By adopting Actify we now have a company-wide program launch process that enables benchmarking and ongoing improvement. We can easily see where programs and projects stand with respect to launch outcomes, plus we know where issues are arising and what we need to do to address them. Our customers are more confident in our ability to meet launch milestones and our teams know exactly what they need to do and when.”
This new system allows Modineer to replace legacy approaches and fragmented systems with a single source for program information that is simpler and more productive to use by team members across the company.
“Modineer is more than our customer,” says David Opsahl, CEO at Actify. “They are a partner who has given us the practitioner feedback and insight that’s essential to any new software solution. Modineer is on our Customer Advisory Board and has been instrumental in creating a breakthrough solution for the automotive supplier community.”
