Rocal partners with ITI Group to transform manufacturing operations with MES project

Window, door and plastic extrusion manufacturer Rocal Insulating Panels has partnered with ITI Group to deliver an MES consulting project at Rocal’s production facility in North Lincolnshire, as part of a manufacturing process improvement initiative.

The first phase of the project will see the ITI consulting team deliver a discovery workshop on the final assembly process. Part of the workshop will include the development of a “To-Be” business process model to provide the functionality requirements for an MES system initially focusing on Digital Workflows and CMMS (Computerised Maintenance Management System).

The ITI consulting team will utilise best practice tools, techniques, and methodologies, leveraging customer centricity, BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT) Business Analytics, Lean Six Sigma, and the ITIL (The Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework.

Rocal is a manufacturer of high-quality solid core composite doors, aluminium windows and doors, uPVC external door panels, and bespoke plastic extrusions. Due to its commitment to delivering excellent quality products, the team has been exploring the adoption of digital technology to improve manufacturing processes around the areas of quality and performance management.
