September 30, 2011
New Kensington, PA — Under the leadership of President and COO Buck Helfferich, Accrotool, a full-service contract manufacturer of custom-engineered metal products used in a wide range of applications, has implemented a technology-based system to ensure that managers and supervisors can access the status of every order, any time of day or night. The system also enables customers to track their orders from production through shipping by using a smartphone app or an icon on their desks. This latest modification enhances the company's flexibility and responsiveness, which has led to a 70% improvement in on-time delivery, a 50% reduction in work-in-process value and a 50% reduction in quoting time. It also builds upon other changes that Accrotool has implemented over the past year, including the ability to silk-screen images on products, affix decals to finished metal casings and integrate the latest digital and video technologies with production activities.
