As part of a meticulous growth strategy for the business, a decision was made to implement a new ERP system. MIETrak Pro was selected for its proven track record in addressing issues within production inventory and scheduling. Prior to MIETrak Pro, Ludwick used spreadsheets and emails for generating RFQs, now their estimators have a standard operating procedure that is faster, smoother and makes onboarding new staff much easier. With the help of the MIE Solutions Support technicians, Ludwick has capitalised on the flexibility of the system by setting up all their own inventory categories for consumables and creating sequential internal codes for everything. The company also utilise a custom part number generator that will automatically assign the next available number to a new part to help streamline the data entry process.

Alongside stock control, Ludwick is benefiting from MIETrak’s scheduling module to plan and keep track of production on orders. The ‘backward’ scheduling feature allows the business to enter a delivery date requested by a client and the software then provides a start date for the project, which has not only improved operational efficiency but has also helped in delivering a reliable service and improved communication with their customers. 

Ludwick Precision has proven itself exemplary in its adaptation to MIETrak Pro and Kiosk shop floor data capture and is now reaping the rewards for its efforts, the systems data-driven productivity analysis has already proved its worth in helping the company identify areas of the business that are primed for investment. With the use of KPI dashboards, the company now has a real-time visual of what's happening within each department, empowering proactive decision making in areas such as process and training.

“MIE Solution’s comprehensive training and user onboarding has helped smooth the introduction of the new software – and the MIE Solutions team are always on hand when Ludwick requires assistance, they have gone out of their way to help tailor the solution to our manufacturing needs.
