Australian Blowmoulding Corporation uncovers hidden capacity

"It used to be hard to get a feeling for what was happening. Now if a customer rings, I can just look on AspectPL and see when the job will be done. They are amazed at how accurate I can be.”

Australian Blowmoulding Corporation (ABC) is a wholly Australian owned company specializing in custom molding of plastic bottles and closure systems for more than 20 years. Focusing on specific sized bottles has enabled ABC to develop an enviable reputation for quality and service in the specific industries of pharmaceuticals and personal care.

The Managing Director, Greg Ditton, was keen to purchase AspectPL so that he could have improved visibility over the production facility and get real-time information on what was happening to facilitate making much better decisions to achieve an overall improvement in productivity.

AspectPL was installed and ABC are very excited with the result. A key factor in the success of the product in the organization was the fact that Greg was the main sponsor and in due course this led the whole team to get behind the implementation and use of AspectPL.

"We love it, it's a brilliant system" says Greg Ditton, "Before, only one guy knew what was going on. Now all our staff can see what jobs are on, how many products have been made, when it will finish and you don't have to be an expert to use it."

"It used to be hard to get a feeling for what was happening. Now if a customer rings, I can just look on AspectPL and see when the job will be done. I can tell them 'we have made 22,671, and the job will be complete at 10 past 4 on Thursday.' They are amazed at how accurate I can be."

"It's an awesome system. We haven't seen a better system for molders and now we are more advanced than our customers."

"It would not be exaggerating to say we are getting 10% or more extra production from our plant thanks to AspectPL."

"We should have put this in three years ago".
