How Cable Manufacturers Optimize Their Processes Digitally

In the wire and cable industry, product modifications are an everyday occurrence. Customer requirements, regulatory mandates, and technological innovations necessitate a flexible change management approach for products and processes. Companies must implement adjustments efficiently—without disrupting production. Failure to do so results in increased costs, delayed deliveries, and compromised quality, ultimately threatening customer satisfaction and market position.

ADVARIS provides an integrated ERP & MES solution that is transparent, automated, and cost-effective. Changes can be seamlessly incorporated into existing production workflows. The system documents every adjustment, ensures traceability, and enables the swift implementation of new requirements. Companies benefit from greater process reliability, lower error rates, and improved coordination between departments.

With real-time analytics, the impact of changes can be identified immediately, allowing potential issues to be addressed proactively. ADVARIS enhances transparency and facilitates efficient decision-making, making production not only more efficient but also more adaptable to innovation.

Challenges in Change Management

Wire and cable manufacturing is highly complex. Companies must manage various product variants, comply with regulatory requirements, and integrate technological advancements. Manufacturing, material procurement, and quality control must be precisely coordinated to avoid errors and delays.

A major challenge is automation: machines must flexibly adapt to new requirements, while software solutions must document changes comprehensively. Only through centralized management of all processes and their impact on production can a company achieve long-term success.

Typical Challenges:

• Product Diversity: Customers demand customized solutions, resulting in a high variety of product configurations.
• Regulatory Compliance: Safety and environmental regulations are constantly evolving.
• Material Availability: Fluctuating raw material prices and supply chain issues necessitate spontaneous adjustments.
• Technological Advances: New materials and production methods require continuous optimization.

Why Digital Change Management is Crucial

Traditional methods such as Excel lists or manual approval processes are prone to errors and inefficiencies. They hinder cross-departmental collaboration and increase the risk of delays.

A digital change management system offers key advantages:

• Automated Workflows: Changes are recorded, reviewed, and approved directly in the system.
• Real-Time Transparency: All relevant departments (e.g., engineering, procurement, production) have instant access to updated information.
• Seamless Integration: Change management is linked to production planning, inventory management, and quality control.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Every modification is logged and remains traceable at all times.
