The Challenge

ALWOX manufactures highly customized electronic control systems for automotive applications.

However, each order varies by customer, vehicle type, and specifications, which created significant operational challenges:

• Complex production planning and scheduling
• Risk of errors in manual coordination
• Difficulty aligning sales, production, and logistics
• Limited visibility across multi-level manufacturing processes

As a result, inefficiencies increased lead times and risked missed delivery commitments.
