Discover How SEKISUI Transformed Manufacturing Flow with Xemelgo’s WIP Solution

SEKISUI Aerospace is a leading manufacturer of advanced composite structures for the aerospace and defense industries. With decades of experience, they specialize in designing and producing lightweight, high-performance components that meet the stringent demands of commercial and military applications.
Committed to quality and innovation, their mission is to deliver reliable, precision-engineered products that help customers push the boundaries of flight.

SEKISUI Aerospace faced several key challenges as they sought to improve production flow and operational efficiency:
-
Frequent Production Delays
At their worst-performing site, on-time delivery dropped as low as 30%, with customers waiting on-site for parts. -
Operational Strain from Industry Disruption
The COVID-19 pandemic amplified pressure to streamline processes and adapt quickly amid shifting demands in aerospace manufacturing. -
Lack of Real-Time Production Visibility
Without end-to-end visibility on the shop floor, it was difficult to pinpoint bottlenecks, monitor order progress, or make timely, data-driven decisions.
