- Process optimization and transparency across all production sites 

Hoehr-Grenzhausen, 18th November 2011 - The PRÄZI Group is a group of companies in the supplier industry.
The company currently employs approximately 650 personnel at its 5 sites in Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary and the Netherlands.
A high degree of quality awareness and the flexible realization of numerous customer requirements render the PRÄZI Group an accredited partner for countless companies in industries such as  

- Engineering
- Tool-making, fixture construction and die-making
- Machine tools
- Automotive
- Robotics and automation
- Conveyor
- Lime sandstone
- Agricultural industry

IBS' quality management software assures the PRÄZI Group the necessary production process transparency, enabling rapid intervention in case of deviation and creating synergies with the existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. The IBS solution improves the PRÄZI Group's risk management and provides real-time, up-to-the-minute information on the production or quality situation in the company. This enables access to the product history, all the way to the delivery note information, at the push of a button.

“The introduction of integrated quality management software will enable us to dispense with a whole host of maintenance and cost-intensive isolated applications that are difficult to evaluate. As well as time-saving, introduction of the centralized system at our German headquarters in Everswinkel now also offers  transparency across all associated plants”, says Heike Schulte, head of Quality Management at the PRÄZI Group.   

Executive Vice President and Director of Sales and Marketing at IBS AG explains, “It was important to the PRÄZI Group to have a competent, long-term partner for the introduction of the CAQ system. Along with Mr. Schulte we worked out a conclusive concept to increase process safeguarding and improve customer satisfaction whilst at the same time reducing quality and defect costs.”
