The Challenge

Prior to deploying a manufacturing ERP solution, EQT depended on manual production planning and spreadsheet-based tracking methods. This fragmented approach limited management's ability to access accurate, real-time production data. Human error was common and process gaps hindered workflow efficiency. These limitations made it difficult for the company to consistently achieve on-time delivery targets and optimize resource utilization, ultimately impacting competitiveness in the fast-paced micro-electronics sector.

The Solution

Recognizing the need for a unified system, EQT evaluated options for a manufacturing ERP that could offer comprehensive data visibility and process automation. The organization selected Global Shop Solutions ERP software for its advanced planning and scheduling, real-time data tracking and automated process management features. According to J.S. Foo, Operations Manager at Equiptest Engineering: "With the ability to digitally track setup times, labor costs and other key production metrics, we can now determine job costs with much greater precision, including the true costs of operating our machines. We also have more confidence in the accuracy of the numbers, an important factor when making strategic decisions about our products, customers, capital investments and more." By leveraging digital setup time tracking and automated workflows, EQT established a reliable foundation for data-driven decision-making and production control.

The Results

Within two years of utilizing Global Shop Solutions ERP, EQT experienced marked improvements in manufacturing efficiency and responsiveness. Production setup times and labor costs are now tracked digitally, enabling precise job costing and operational transparency. On-time delivery rates improved and the production backlog was reduced, positioning the company to better meet customer demands. Key metrics include two years with ERP, improved on-time delivery, fully digital setup time tracking and a reduced production backlog, collectively supporting EQT's growth and competitiveness.
