Material Resource Planning (MRP)
An Automobile company has inefficient procurement, which may lead to stock-outs and delays. At the same time, overstocking ties up valuable capital and enhances storage costs.
Optimized Procurement:
"When to buy": Forecast should help in looking out for fluctuations in demand, ensuring
that
the purchases are on time.
"What to buy": BOM analysis helps in identifying the components of a requirement, thus
avoiding non-essential buys.
"How much to buy": The right calculations help reduce wastage and prevent stockouts.
Data-Driven Inventory Management:
Inventory & MRP Analysis Reports: Get visibility across inventory levels to recognize
trends
and optimize production planning.
Shortage Reports: Be proactive about potential stockouts and avoid production delays.
Fulfillment of Production Requirements: Ensure production without hassle, meeting
deadlines
and avoiding excess inventory accumulation.
Material Planning & Automation (M&A)
Supply chain volatility, inventory management, demand forecasting, production scheduling, quality control, and labor constraints are all difficult challenges that a manufacturing firm has to face. Material planning and automation handle these by optimizing the inventory, improving demand forecasting, enhancing production planning, strengthening supply chain management, automating quality control, and raising operational efficiency.
Material planning and automation improve the visibility across supply chains, inventory management, demand forecasting, production planning, quality control, and efficiency.
These technologies can help raise the standards of risk management, optimize production scheduling, and reduce lead times in the supply chain through increased visibility, discovery of alternative sourcing opportunities, and advanced forecasting techniques.
Moreover, automation leads to higher quality and increased efficiency while freeing people for higher value-added tasks. This sort of strategic incorporation empowers manufacturing companies with resilient operations for a sustainable competitive advantage.
Document Management System
The user faces challenges in keeping track of the design document and which of the documents are shared with which customer or by whom. Also if there is any change in the design that was also not tracked.
We have created a web application, that helps the user to upload design documents and keep track that which design is shared with which customer, shared by which person, and does he has taken a printout of that design.
Also, it provides the provision to upload the changed design which gets attached to the existing one and is displayed along with it.
Business
An employee performance review/skill matrix was not maintained at a central location and can not be shared with other users easily. Also, it was difficult to track the previous performance/skill matrix details.
We have created the intranet portal which helps user to track their performance/ skill matrix details and can be shared with other users easily. Based given remarks for skill /performance employee's training plan will be prepared and assigned to him through this portal. It also helps to keep track of assets and provide different types of dashboards and reports.
Travel Management
If an employee needs to travel for company work, he needs to get certain approval from the manager and finance team. Also, it was difficult to track if any approval was pending from the concerned person.
We have created a portal through which the user generates his travel request. Mode of travel, preferred class, accommodation, etc will be filled by the user. Once the request is submitted it will go through certain approvers which get selected based on his city and department. If the user needs a travel advance, he can request that with the same request. Once the request goes to admin he does all the arrangements mentioned in the request like train/bus tickets, accommodation, etc., and attaches those tickets or booking receipts to the same request so that the user can get those easily. For user and approver information a mail is getting triggered to the next level approver and user so that they can be aware of the request.
Engineering Drawing DMS
The usual way of handling engineering drawings and related documents often depends on physical files, network drives, or individual workstations. This approach seems simple but creates big problems for engineering teams when they don't use a special Document Management System (DMS). These issues include: Hard to find documents , Trouble keeping track of different versions, Risks to data safety , Limited teamwork and oversight , Mistakes in data , Problems following rules
This application manages complex engineering documents like drawings, designs, and CAD files throughout their lifecycle, preventing mix-ups and old versions. It creates a central storage for all drawings, allowing team collaboration and version control. It enhances search capabilities, records activity, reduces paper-based storage requirements and offers disaster recovery options for less physical damage.
Business
Companies without a SharePoint-based Dashboards & Report Portal often face challenges such as time-consuming report creation, inaccessibility of critical business data, lack of meaningful insights, difficulty in sharing reports, and difficulty in spotting trends.
To streamline the report generation process and make key data more accessible, a reporting module automates report generation, provides a single place for reports and business facts, and offers useful insights by turning raw numbers into short dashboards and reports. Sharing reports and dashboards with the team allows for faster collaboration and alignment, and leveraging active dashboards for easy trend identification can help proactively identify opportunities or risks.
