Case Study: Manufacturing

Summary: Rising complexity in manufacturing has taken a toll on systems that are not robust enough to handle this. ExpandX’s client faced issues handling production scheduling and labor management for multiple production layers. The ERP offered by ExpandX helped track performance of laborer’s, machines and understand company wellbeing.

Manufacturing has become a complex procedure and manufacturers without proper data management systems are facing the brunt of it. A client of ExpandX in the business of manufacturing mechanised metal parts for different industries like automobiles, electrical home appliances and many more was facing a similar issue.

The client has a big operational set up with multiple machineries and employees working on them at different shift periods. Creating BOM was a difficult task as multiple layers of production had to be accounted for. Production scheduling was getting difficult and disorganized. Data entry into systems were done but were fragmented and not able to give owners any insights into their business. Accounting for this complexity is the need for robust technology software- one which they were in need for.

ExpandX understood the client’s business model and the problems that they were going through. Each problem was mapped out and separate solution targeting each was created. ExpandX’s ERP software helped provide these solutions to the manufacturer:

  1. Easy to understand at the same time detailed department wise reports to view operations in the organization. Important parameters were chosen and given representation in customized reports to judge efficiency of their operations.
