Taiyo
Yuden Using Ingenuus Smart Expediter in Production
Power Supply division plans to use Business Process Automation solution
to increase productivity and enhance product development
FRISCO, Texas - August 24, 2004 - Ingenuus Software Inc., provider of
Smart Expediter, the world's first affordable, enterprise class Business
Process Fusion solution announced today that Taiyo Yuden (U.S.A.) Inc.
of San Clemente, California went into production using the Smart Expediter
Professional 5.0. Taiyo Yuden was able to go from installation to production
in just 60 days.
"Before
using the Ingenuus product our engineering change order backlog was 200
to 300 ECOs at any given time" says Tom Brooks, Managing Director
at Taiyo Yuden USA. "Now, our backlog is 10-15, and we have recovered
20 to 30 percent of lost time." Taiyo Yuden expects to expand the
productivity gains and cost savings they are experiencing by automating
their new product documentation. They expect to reduce processing time
by 20%.
"The
basic upgrade from the previous engineering change management process
took two weeks, including the ERP interface, and they could have gone
live in that time," explains Vivek Prasad, vice president of development
at Ingenuus. "Instead, working without our help, Taiyo Yuden developed
another complex document management process to support ISO compliance,
tested and deployed it in only forty-five days. They went live on both
processes at the same time."
Taiyo Yuden
has manufacturing facilities in Mexico, and they are using the Smart Expediter
over the web and loving it, according to Brooks. Taiyo Yuden plans to
continue automating processes including the document change process, ISO,
human resources procedures and policies and several administration processes.
"We
are very pleased with the results Taiyo Yuden is experiencing using our
Smart Expediter, and how quickly they were able to develop a new task
flow" says Christopher Williams, Ingenuus CEO. "Taiyo Yuden
joins our other customers telling us that they are experiencing dramatic
reduction in processing time, and better collaboration using the Smart
Expediter."
