Correct Craft, US manufacturer of the premium Nautique boat brand, has implemented AIMS Manufacturing Lifecycle Management (MLM) Framework Release 5 to ensure the company's continued top tier quality performance, including maintaining J.D. Power and Associates' highest ranking for customer satisfaction.
Advanced Integrated Manufacturing Solutions, Co., (AIMS), is a leading provider of lifecycle operations management solutions for the discrete manufacturing value chain. Release MLM 5 empowers manufacturers with the ability to harness 'best quality lifecycle operations practices in a box'.
"AIMS MLM 5 goes well beyond simply enabling quality visibility," Perry Smith, CEO of AIMS, said. "We're empowering the quality function to positively impact a company's risk management portfolio and improve processes that depend on manufacturing, from supply chain, to sales, to shipping and service. Correct Craft, with their focus on customer satisfaction, was ideally positioned to take advantage of new quality best practices provided through AIMS MLM to fuel their drive toward six sigma across the enterprise."
Matt McGinnis, quality manager for Correct Craft, stated, "Our goal is to be the No.1 quality boat builder in the entire industry as ranked by J.D. Power and Associates. AIMS MLM enables us to leverage the quality efforts we've made throughout the manufacturing process and across disciplines for continued improvement and excellence. Beyond automating our existing processes, AIMS' integrated analysis tools enable us to drive new continuous improvement activities that were not feasible with our previous manual quality system."
Correct Craft uses AIMS MLM 5 for inspection, data collection and analysis, replacing a paper process with tablet PCs and wireless connectivity. Alerts route immediately to designated personnel whenever there is a quality concern.
Correct Craft monitors top concerns by line, model, station and operation at any part of the day, in real time. Integrated visual quality data collection and issues analysis enable rapid identification of specific areas for improvement and greatly enhance root cause identification and elimination.
Correct Craft uses the quality improvement software in a hosted model, where AIMS is responsible for infrastructure and software updates. With MLM 5 deployed as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Correct Craft was able to implement very quickly, using less IT personnel and infrastructure resources.
"The AIMS MLM system captures the information we need, gives us the capability to access and utilize the information, and is easy to configure and use," McGinnis continued. "It has all the analytics we need to incorporate best practices right now. We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we replaced our paper-based inspection aids and reporting with AIMS automated tools.
