Chroma MES Successfully Deployed Across Five International Footwear Manufacturing Sites
Helping a Global Footwear Leader Build Smart, High-Efficiency Factories
How Chroma MES Became a Strategic Advantage for a Global Footwear Leader
As global supply chains continue to transform at speed, multinational manufacturers are facing greater challenges in efficiency, transparency, and cross-regional collaboration.
To accelerate its digital transformation, a global footwear manufacturing group launched a large-scale, multi-site MES implementation project in 2022. The goal was to build a standardized information management platform capable of supporting operations across multiple regions.
After a rigorous evaluation process, the group selected Chroma’s Sajet MES. The system has now been successfully deployed at five major manufacturing sites in various countries across Asia, helping the group establish a smart manufacturing foundation built on:
- Real-time information visibility
- Production visibility
- Cross-site collaborative management
- Data-driven decision-making
Before MES: Three Key Challenges in Cross-Border, Multi-Site Management
For large-scale multinational manufacturers, information management is often one of the greatest operational challenges. Before implementing MES, the group faced three major pain points:
- Information Gaps Across Regions Delayed Decision-Making
Production data relied heavily on manual consolidation, and information was not always consistent across international sites. This delayed issue reporting and slowed executive decision-making. - Scattered Data Made Unified Management Difficult
Production, material, labor hour, and quality data were distributed across different systems. Without unified standards, it was difficult to gain a complete and timely view of overall operations. - Slow Quality Response Made Defect Tracing Difficult
Without real-time alerts and a complete traceability process, identifying the root cause of a quality abnormality often required significant time and effort.
MES Cross-Border Benefits Across Five Sites: Direct Value for Management
Through standardized, real-time data management, Chroma’s Sajet MES delivered clear improvements in cross-site operational efficiency.
✔ Real-Time Data Visibility for Faster Executive Decisions
Key production data, including output, yield, labor hours, and abnormalities, can now be presented consistently across regions. Management can monitor overall operations in real time through a single dashboard and respond faster.
✔ Transparent Production Processes and Faster Traceability
With production processes fully digitalized, abnormalities can be located quickly, root causes can be identified more clearly, and quality improvement cycles can be shortened.
✔ Data-Driven Decisions for More Precise Capacity Allocation
Real-time KPI visibility across all sites enables management to quickly identify bottleneck processes and optimize capacity allocation with greater precision.
