Camcar Textron

CAMCAR Innovations is a world leader in the research & development of fasteners, helping solve the engineering challenges of today and tomorrow. Founded in 1943, Camcar’s tradition of innovation has made them global leaders in advanced technological solutions for cold forming manufacturers. Quality is at the heart of Camcar’s entire program, hence their selection of the best intelligent project management and scheduling solution, Aurora. This helps Camcar meet their commitment to high standards.

Camcar manufacturing includes precision bolts for the aerospace sector. Throughput and quality assurance are both critical in such a domain, Aurora helps maximize throughput while respecting all the constraints required to meet Camcar’s quality requirements. The primary resources involved are factory equipment and personnel. A run usually involves setup at a work center (this is optional, depending on what was manufactured on that piece of equipment previously), and a run time is dependent on order size. In such instances, Aurora takes all of this into account for all the orders to develop and optimized the schedule, while dynamically updating the schedule as execution is carried out. Camcar’s primary considerations are being able to determine accurate ship dates based on order demand and determining what work should be done (and where) in order to maintain efficient production; Aurora makes all this seamless.
