Contact lens manufacturer optimizing production efficiency and supply chain
Menicon Malaysia operates a contact lens manufacturing facility with a tech stack oriented toward production control and process optimization: PLC, SCADA, MES, SAP ERP, and CAD/CAM tools (CATIA, AutoCAD). The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward manufacturing (10 roles) and operations (4 roles) with only one engineering hire, and active projects cluster around OEE improvement, equipment validation, and HRMS development—reflecting a company focused on squeezing efficiency from existing production lines rather than building new product platforms.
Menicon Malaysia is a contact lens manufacturer based in Kulim, Kedah. Founded in 2021, the company operates as a public entity with 51–200 employees, primarily concentrated in manufacturing and operations functions. The production environment runs on enterprise systems including SAP for resource planning and a custom MES for production scheduling and real-time monitoring. Current priorities include improving overall equipment effectiveness, qualifying secondary suppliers, and reducing unplanned downtime—typical challenges for mid-scale discrete manufacturing facilities managing multiple production lines.
The company runs SAP ERP, MES (Manufacturing Execution System), SCADA for process control, and PLC automation. Design and engineering work flows through CATIA and AutoCAD. Production metrics and compliance tracking use Minitab for statistical analysis.
Active projects include OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) improvement initiatives, new production line equipment startup, MES feature validation and in-house program deployment, HRMS system development, and compliance audit preparation.
