Leach International Selects Infor ERP SyteLine as Part of Lean Manufacturing Initiative

Logistics Insight Asia - Industry News, 5/6/2008

Infor has announced that Leach International, a subsidiary of Esterline Technologies Corp. and a leading manufacturer of power switching and control components for the aerospace industry, has selected Infor ERP SyteLine. Leach International will use the new capabilities it gains from the software to help manage its operations and accelerate the company’s transition to a lean manufacturing environment.

Leach will be the first Esterline Company to benefit from the expanded multi-site capabilities and role-based functionality included in Infor ERP SyteLine 8.0. The deployment will also help Esterline develop a roadmap of best practices for the future deployment of Infor ERP SyteLine 8.0 in its other divisions.

Leach formerly used a proprietary ERP system it developed in-house that was unable to keep pace with the company’s aggressive growth and global expansion. To fully realize its lean manufacturing transformation and manage its growth targets, the manufacturer required a system that could consolidate its disparate data resources and integrate quickly across all divisions and facilities.
