Ortakçı Cam, a Turkey-based glass and mirror manufacturer, supplies products directly and indirectly to the production lines of major OEMs and global companies with a wide product range extending from processed glass to tempered glass, from vehicle glass to household glass and mirrors, serving primarily the automotive sector as well as the industrial and home/living sectors.
In order to manage its production processes more effectively and efficiently, Ortakçı Cam decided to deploy DELMIA Ortems APS, a Planning and Optimization solution, at its factory. With this digital transformation, Ortakçı Cam aimed to strengthen its planning and scheduling capabilities across its production processes from end to end. Thanks to DELMIA Ortems APS capabilities such as detailed scheduling, capacity planning, material planning and automatic due date determination, Ortakçı Cam can meet future production requirements more effectively and manage its resources in a more optimized way.
The integration of DELMIA Ortems APS enabled Ortakçı Cam to move its production planning processes from manual spreadsheets to an automated system. As a result, planners can manage customer delivery dates more effectively by quickly matching work orders with the right machines and optimizing routing selection. This automation in planning processes has enabled the company to achieve significant gains such as up to 25% reduction in machine changeover/setup times, a 20% increase in productivity, a 20% decrease in overtime rates, 65% savings in time spent on planning, and a 40% increase in customer service levels.
Among the various added values Ortakçı Cam has achieved by using DELMIA Ortems APS are important accomplishments such as improving on-time in-full delivery capability (OTIF), making production processes more transparent and traceable, and increasing customer satisfaction. In this way, the company gains a competitive advantage and ensures more effective and faster management of its production and planning processes.
