For auto parts manufacturers, no two sites are the same—but the problems they encounter often are. Without a CMMS in place, it can be all too easy to fail audits, drown in reactive maintenance, and rack up costly downtime due to breakdowns. Take a look at how Magna sites across North America have used Fiix to conquer common maintenance problems in the auto manufacturing industry.

Magna Autosystems
Location: Belleville, Ontario
Before Fiix
Coming from a mix of pen and paper and Excel spreadsheets, the site didn’t have the support it needed. They were failing audits and in desperate need of tracking maintenance records.
After Fiix
Since getting up and running with the system, they haven’t failed a single audit, and are prepared for one at the drop of a hat. Unscheduled downtime has been reduced by 30%, and inventory has been lowered by 10%.

Qualtech Seating Systems
Location: London, Ontario
Before Fiix
Though the site was using a CMMS, they had no way to track their finances or control their documents. They were in need of a more complete solution.
After Fiix
In addition to tracking finances and controlling their documents, they finally have an automated PM program. Their technicians are also able to be fully mobile with the tablets they use in the field.

Magna Autosystems
Location: Plymouth, Michigan
Before Fiix
This site has never had to suffer through the challenge of not having a CMMS. After hearing of the success the Magna Belleville site was having, this site started using Fiix as soon as it opened.
After Fiix
Implementing a CMMS while opening a new facility has helped this site to keep track of assets right away, so they can start storing historical information. They’ve also hit the ground running with automated PMs.
