Customer Profile

Founded in 1982, TriStar Plastics provides engineering, custom fabrication and manufacturing of high-performance plastics and self-lubricating bearings materials. Its capabilities include component design, material selection, prototype, production, manufacturing and surface modification. Today, TriStar is a leading industry player and trusted partner to prominent manufacturing companies in the military, marine, medical, construction, agriculture, and railroad sectors.

Their Business Challenge

After entering an exclusive partnership with Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corporation in 1999, TriStar faced challenges in managing its operations. These challenges included handling the fabrication facility, tracking inventory, and calculating yield using an outdated system which could no longer meet its requirements.

The Solution

To address these issues, TriStar decided to adopt SYSPRO with the aim of improving the accuracy of its inventory tracking, enhancing operational efficiencies, and streamlining its sales process.

The Outcome

SYSPRO’s Material Yield System (MYS) module allows TriStar to maximize the utilization of its raw materials and replace labor-intensive manual calculations. This has minimized waste while increasing accuracy and productivity.

“SYSPRO took on an amazing challenge when we first engaged with them, by custom-building an industry-specific MYS module.”
– Richard Cedrone, CEO, TriStar Plastics Corporation.
