Turning Manufacturing Challenges into Global Growth with DELMIAWorks

In the world of high-precision manufacturing, operational visibility, data accuracy, and production efficiency are non-negotiable. For Standby Screw Machine Products, a leading machined parts manufacturer based in Ohio, these challenges stood in the way of growth—until they found a solution in DELMIAWorks.

From Fragmented Systems to Integrated Success

Prior to 2013, Standby Screw was relying on outdated and heavily customized manufacturing software that couldn’t keep up with their evolving needs. Inaccurate data, scheduling blind spots, and broken inventory costing models made it increasingly difficult to make confident, informed decisions. It all came to a head when the system failed to calculate the true cost of goods sold—a critical metric for any manufacturer.

That’s when Standby Screw turned to DELMIAWorks.

Why DELMIAWorks?

After evaluating several ERP and MRP solutions, the team at Standby Screw chose DELMIAWorks ERP and MES for its manufacturing-specific functionality, real-time data access, and breadth of integrated modules—including Finance, Quality Control, Inventory, RealTime™ Production Monitoring, and CRM.

Importantly, DELMIAWorks required minimal customization and aligned closely with best practices that improved Standby Screw’s internal processes.

Immediate Impact, Long-Term Results

The implementation was fast and smooth—completed over a single weekend with no downtime. Immediately, Standby Screw saw gains in scheduling, job visibility, and labor planning. With better data and tighter process control, the company was able to consolidate tasks, optimize machine usage, and adopt just-in-time purchasing for steel—their largest raw material.

Over time, the results have been even more significant:

• Increased production throughput and leaner operations
• Maximized resource utilization across all facilities
• Improved decision-making with remote, real-time data access
• Enhanced quoting accuracy and reduced scrap and rework

Powering Global Expansion

With DELMIAWorks as the backbone of its operations, Standby Screw didn’t just improve efficiency—it expanded. The company opened new production facilities in China and Thailand, extending the ERP system seamlessly across all locations. The global view and integrated scheduling provided by DELMIAWorks enabled the company to scale operations with confidence and precision.

A Platform for the Future

As part of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio, DELMIAWorks continues to provide Standby Screw with the tools they need to adapt, grow, and lead in a competitive manufacturing landscape.

“The DELMIAWorks ERP and MES system has become essential to our operations,” says Vice President Jay Jay Koi. “It provides the accurate information we need to operate more effectively, efficiently, and successfully.”
