IQMS / DELMIAWORKS customer testimonial: Northern Industrial
Using IQMS’ manufacturing ERP software (which has been renamed as DELMIAWORKS) has enabled automotive parts manufacturer of shims and thrust washers, Northern Industrial to achieve zero defective parts per million, plus one hundred percent delivery to every customer, every time.
In recognition of their manufacturing record, General Motors has awarded Northern Industrial with the Supplier Quality Excellence Award for four consecutive years.
“Every single person, every single day for every single shipment has to be flawless. We’re very proud of the awards and really feel like we’re best in class when it comes to the production of shims and thrust washers. We were really able to take our top three or four biggest challenges through our organisation and eliminate them. We’re able keep a steady state, steady flow throughout our operations, which is amongst other things led us to over doubling our output of this plant. At the end of the day, most of that doubling in my opinion, can be attributed to the tools that we’re given from IQMS.”
