Operational excellence

Germany

“We needed a tool where we could track active and older programs, making sure that all information was centralized, tasks were allocated to functions, and we knew who’s responsible for what across our 30+ programs.”

Background

Pain

Given the scale of operations and the practical logistical challenges therein, Motherson knew that key performance information, bottlenecks, and opportunities were sitting within each site, but couldn’t centralize that data.

Problem statement

With the inability to quickly – and accurately – centralize information, inefficiencies and delays grew from using Excel for project management. This was compounded by the large volume of data to collect and analyze.

Software evaluation

To make a step change, Motherson needed a solution that delivered instant access to data that tracked progress, enabling them to seize the opportunities that came.

“We have 300 plants around the world, and the only way to centralize global information is through a tool. i-nexus has been designed to show us a summary of what happens at each stage gate. We know what we need to escalate, if a project or KPI is red, yellow, or green, what’s behind that, and what we can do about it. With i-nexus, I have the latest updates so I can spend 50-70% of my day using it to stay on top of the schedules, tasks, and journals that would be too much to keep up with otherwise.”
