OTV Plast: Triple order volume without more employees

The processing of technical plastic is carried out on a modern production apparatus, and combined with 20 years of experience, it ensures competitive prices and uniformly high quality. OTV Plast’s machinery consists of advanced CNC-controlled machining centers, e.g. a 9-axis rotary and milling center, 5-axis milling centers, large suction plane milling machines and 10 other machining centers with associated modern programming equipment. OTV Plast are specialists in both prototypes and series production, which are carried out according to a subject, a sketch or a drawing.

Hot bending and cold bending are a growing production area at OTV Plast. In addition, they perform gluing of PVC and Acrylic as well as hot air welding and extruder welding. OTV Plast has a large stock of semi-plastic products, also called technical plastic, from which they can deliver from day to day.

Triple order quantity

Henrik Jylov is Adm. Director at OTV Plast and says the following about the investment in ROB-EX: “In the first three years with ROB-EX, our order volume tripled without us hiring more employees. Part of the credit for this I will attribute to ROB-EX. Without this tool to plan our production orders, we would not have had a chance to see the progress of the orders in production. ”

ROB-EX means that OTV Plast can provide reliable delivery times to their customers, and if it still happens that orders are delayed due to lack of material, complications with one or more machines or illness, OTV Plast can very quickly inform their customers about the situation. This gives customers a chance to take into account the delay in their production. And it is vital for customers that OTV Plast as a subcontractor can provide accurate information about the delivery situation.
For example, if OTV Plast cannot deliver some wear rails, gears or bushings to a machine on time, then it can lead to delays in their customer’s deliveries for projects worth millions of kroner.

The ability to deliver is crucial for growth

All orders were entered into their order processing system, but it was difficult to see the total load of production capacity. The result was exceeding promised delivery dates by too many orders. The production manager was previously the only one who in far too many cases could answer when a given order could be delivered. If one of OTV Plast’s customers called to get a status on their orders, only the production manager could give an answer. Therefore, ROB-EX has also greatly relieved the production manager.

Satisfied customers

After the implementation of ROB-EX, everyone can see the production plan and see when there is room for a new order or status of an ongoing task. It gives satisfied customers – and continuously more, because such a thing is rumored among potential customers in the machinery industry.
