Discover how Time Manufacturing boosted supplier performance, improved production attainment, and reduced overtime by replacing spreadsheets and email with real-time PO collaboration
When supplier confirmations arrive late (or not at all), pricing fluctuates, and due dates constantly change, MRP becomes a gamble. For Time Manufacturing—a manufacturer of aerial lifts for bucket trucks—managing 5,000–10,000 purchased parts through emails and spreadsheets created uncertainty across purchasing, receiving, and production.
In this customer success webinar, Raul Gutierrez, Strategic Procurement Manager at Time Manufacturing, joins Colby Young, VP of Alliances at SourceDay, to share how Time modernized supplier communication with automated PO collaboration integrated with Epicor—so suppliers can confirm price, quantity, and due dates quickly, and buyers can stop chasing updates and start planning with confidence.
You’ll hear how Time improved production attainment from ~85% to ~98% in the last six months—helping the team hit daily build targets—and how the business nearly eliminated Saturday production by February.
