WAVE Custom Programming Increases Accuracy & Quality Control for Customers

Learn how Worthington Armstrong Venture (WAVE) enhanced their process by updating an outdated LISP program. The program was re-written in C#, improving automation for part lists, bills of materials (BOMs), and customization. The result? Faster, more accurate drawings, improved customer service, and enhanced quality control.

Project goals

Worthington Armstrong Venture (WAVE) wanted to innovate by creating a new automated process for creating parts lists, bills of materials (BOMs), and deliver more customized options.

Solution

Our expert Applications Consultants worked closely with the team at Worthington Armstrong Venture (WAVE) to re-write the custom program in C#. Additionally, changes were also made to the initial program to provide more functionality to users, who worked  collaboratively to define project scope, based on the needs of WAVE.

Business outcome

Drawings can be completed faster and more accurately with respect to manufacturing capabilities and quoting standards. Engineering and customer service are able to respond to customer requests faster thanks to automated bills of materials (BOMs), and custom programming tools provide better quality control. "At this point, the engineering, customer service, and project quoting are more efficient and faster, providing better accuracy and quality control for our customers".

Conclusion

After acquiring the specialty ceiling products business, WAVE specifically reached out to our experts to update the program and give the tool more functionality. WAVE users worked directly with our team and throughout the project there was an interactive development based on product design needs. "Having a dedicated team and project manager throughout the process was a huge benefit to our organization - the project kept moving along and all deadlines were met".
