Messier Dowty cuts project lead times from four months to one week

摘要

"As a direct result of implementing HMS-CAPP (computer aided process planning) we've managed to reduce the time we need to prepare for new projects from four or five months down to just one week for some of our more basic components. And this has allowed us to achieve the target payback period of 18 months," says Mike Davis, CAPP system administrator at Messier Dowty. "Even for the more complex parts and assemblies, we're still cutting lead times by at least 50% compared to five years ago."
