THE CHALLENGE

When information cannot keep up with production

The factory had used its legacy ERP for many years, with high maintenance fees, outdated information, inventory discrepancies and limited visibility of production costs. Each department maintained its own Excel files. Management had to wait for data to be gathered and summarized before making decisions.

BUSINESS OUTCOMES

Shared information across the organization

Central inventory

Departments work with shared inventory information.

MRP planning

Material requirements are planned within the system.

Production cost visibility

Production cost information supports factory management.

Production visibility

Results become visible when recorded, helping the Production Manager address issues promptly.

Shipment and accounting

Shipment, invoices and actual dispatched quantities are easier to summarize. Accounting uses departmental records, reducing duplicate data preparation.

Dashboards for decisions

IT builds reports and dashboards for departments; management uses system information to support decisions.
