KABTEK has improved its weekly production throughput up
to 20 per cent by using CablePlan Plannica.
InnoVites, a provider of enterprise software for wire and
cable manufacturers and distributors, distributes CablePlan
around the globe in the wire and cable market.
Kabtek is a global manufacturer of cable, offering industrial
products including silicon cables, rubber-based command
control, power and mid-voltage cables, and exports more
than 80 per cent of total production to the leading western
European countries.
Abdurrahman Güngör, COO at Kabtek, said: “CablePlan
Plannica is helping Kabtek to improve the production
throughput rate up to 20 per cent through weekly planning
of its new 21,000m2 dedicated indoor facility producing
approximately 700-1,000 tons per month, reduce the master
planning cycle from days to minutes, and provide Kabtek
with an opportunity to revise its master plans multiple times
throughout the week, and generate a master plan that
conforms 100 per cent to a variety of customer- and
cable-specific constraints.
“Kabtek has expanded the scope of its involvement with
CablePlan and is currently implementing CablePlan
Chronica to minimise the setup times and improve overall
OEE (operational equipment efficiency) across its entire
facility, and integrating CablePlan Promica to provide
optimal quotations to its customers.”
Albert Groothedde, CEO at InnoVites, added: “We are
excited about the results cable manufacturers can achieve
with CablePlan. The results at Kabtek are a strong proof
how production planning software can significantly improve
production efficiency.”
