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 21,000m 2
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 and therefore positively influence the
bottom line of a cable manufacturer.”
