2. Challenges
The gasket manufacturing company in Vinh Phuc and Binh Duong is currently facing serious challenges in production management. Each production line consists of multiple small stages, but the current system only records production results at the final stage. This leads to numerous issues and severely impacts the company’s operational efficiency:
Fragmented Production Management:
Currently, production results are only entered into the management software after the final stage is completed. This creates a large gap in tracking and controlling the production process. Earlier stages are not promptly recorded, making it difficult to monitor and quickly and accurately capture the results of these stages. The consequences include:
– Lack of Timely Information:
There is no timely information about the progress of earlier stages, making it difficult to accurately assess the production situation. This complicates production planning and resource allocation.
– Accumulation of Issues:
Problems in earlier stages are not detected and addressed promptly, leading to an accumulation of issues that severely affect production quality and progress. Minor issues can escalate into major problems.
– Lack of Transparency:
Fragmented and non-transparent production management processes make it difficult to control and evaluate production efficiency. Without a comprehensive view of the production process, managers cannot make accurate and timely decisions.
3. Solution
To address these issues, IVS proposes implementing a production management software solution with the following key features:
3.1 Automatic Intermediate Stage Production Planning:
Customers only need to enter production results at the first and final stages. The system automatically generates production results for intermediate stages, saving time and reducing errors.
The system automatically transfers semi-finished goods for intermediate stages and deducts raw materials based on BOM (Bill of Materials) and Routing. This accurately and efficiently manages raw material and semi-finished goods inventory.
3.2 Inventory Alerts:
If raw materials or semi-finished goods are insufficient, the system immediately notifies users. This ensures materials are always available for production, avoiding interruptions.
4.Achieved Results
4.1 Data Entry Time Savings:
The solution saves significant time and effort by eliminating the need for data entry for each small stage. Employees only need to enter production results at the first and final stages; the system handles the rest.
4.2 Efficient Production Management:
With the system’s automation capabilities, tracking production results at intermediate stages becomes quick and easy. This allows managers to closely monitor production progress and make timely adjustments as needed.
With the inventory alert feature, the company can ensure materials are always available for production, avoiding material shortages or excessive inventory.
5. Conclusion
Implementing the production management software solution has provided significant benefits to the gasket manufacturing company in Vinh Phuc and Binh Duong. The solution not only optimizes production processes, saves time, and enhances management efficiency, but also ensures material availability and maintains product quality. This is a crucial step in enhancing the company’s competitiveness in the market.
