G&W Electric Enhances its Global Operations Strategy with JD Edwards

G&W Electric is a global supplier of electric power equipment and chose JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to enable global operations management

The Client

G&W products are designed to the latest industry standards and backed by more than 105 years of engineering expertise. The result is time-proven, reliable performance. G&W Electric was running a 20-year-old highly customized solution that did not enable the business’ global operations strategy. The company was facing many challenges including:

  • Manual, inconsistent, people-intensive business processes with limited use of automation to improve efficiency
  • Fragmented, inconsistent and inaccessible data
  • The inability to handle foreign currencies or operations within the platform
  • A constrained system environment hindered by mixed-mode manufacturing capability
  • The inability to use the system as an enabler for lean shop floor practices
  • An outdated, unsupported platform

The Challenge

G&W is a small company that needed a big company solution. Terillium designed and implemented 35 new process improvements to connect the areas of the business that were disjointed.

Our Solution

Terillium delivered solutions that provided G&W with:

  • A modern, supported platform
  • The capacity to manage global operations
  • Lean shop floor practices
As a measure of how successful the Terillium team was at defining the scope of the project, we have enjoyed the very unique and pleasant position of being on schedule, within project scope and within budget.
