“Since going-live with TPO, we have consistently increased our material utilization by over 6% through optimized nesting, and achieved additional savings through methodic reduction of short-end rolls in our warehouse. With TPO, 15% of today’s work-orders are nested over more than one roll, utilizing fabric that would have otherwise been written off.”
