Tullahoma Industries Improves Payroll Accuracy and Production Visibility with IP Solutions
Greenville, South Carolina (PRWEB) January 28, 2015 -- Incentive Payroll Experts LLC (http://www.incentivepayroll.com), developer and marketer of shop floor and incentive payroll solutions, announces that military and commercial apparel producer Tullahoma Industries LLC (TII) has successfully implemented the full IP suite of hardware and software solutions across its four U.S.-based cut and sew manufacturing facilities. The contract producer of uniforms, thermal garments, outerwear and other sewn products reports that the new systems have improved the speed, accuracy and visibility of production and payroll processes.
According to TII Chief Executive Officer Richard Davenport, “By replacing manual processes that relied on multiple Excel® spreadsheets, IP has enabled us to eliminate errors and pay precisely for what is being produced across the entire business. Individual plant production data is automatically rolled up to a server at our Tullahoma headquarters to centralize gross payroll calculation and provide greater visibility into overall production activities. This streamlines our processes and enables the structure and consistency we need to improve our operations and better serve our customers.”
Following a phased implementation approach, TII now utilizes the Incentive Payroll (IP) solution to track orders and individual bundles throughout the sewing process and centralize and calculate gross payroll for all its operations in Tennessee, Alabama and Puerto Rico. The company also uses integrated IP software modules and hardware solutions to manage Ticket Printing (IP-TP), Ticket Scanning (IP-TS), Biometric Time Clock (IP-TC), and Quality Control (IP-QC) activities. A new IP Training Curve software tool is also expected to be helpful in reducing training time for new hires going forward.
In locations where Eton Unit Production Systems and tablet-based Eton Note real-time shop floor control systems are in use, TII has integrated these systems with the IP solutions to further streamline payroll data collection and processing.
“We applaud Tullahoma Industries on their successful implementations and for achieving significant business improvements through our solutions,” noted IPE Managing Partner Brad Mikes. “By improving the accuracy of production information, increasing visibility, and streamlining processes, TII is setting an example that other manufacturers can follow to improve their own competitiveness.”
