Glass Technology introduced 1C: ERP

ITRP specialists automated the production management in the glass processing company Glass Technology. The 1C: ERP Enterprise Management system helped organize operational production planning for customer orders, taking into account the execution of each production stage. Faster calculation of specifications for complex custom product configurations. Accurate accounting of raw materials transferred for processing and semi-finished products received from contractors has been established. The control over each stage of the technological process is strengthened, the exact calculation of the actual production cost is ensured. The management was able to monitor the work of units in real time. Fulfillment of production orders accelerated 1.5 times.

Glass Technology is a glass processing company; since 2010 it has been part of the Nayada group of companies. It specializes in the production of various types of quality glass - from the usual single-layer version to complex solutions with an individual design.

Every day, the company receives about 200 orders for the production of products. Upon receipt of each order, it is necessary to quickly assess the possibility of its execution within the time period desired by the client, form a specification, calculate the need for raw materials. The company attracts contractors for the production of some semi-finished products, so it is necessary to clearly control the transfer of raw materials to the side and the return of finished semi-finished products from processing.

Previously, the company did not have a working system of sales planning, procurement and provision of warehouses. Production was planned in spreadsheets and no more than a week in advance. Coordination of cost, production time, dates of shipment of orders was carried out on paper. Often there were errors in the formation of specifications. It was difficult to control the flow of orders through the process chain. Time sheets were kept manually, it was almost impossible to analyze the workload and production of individual employees. The execution of management orders was delayed; it was often impossible to understand who was responsible for what. It took 3 to 7 business days to obtain information about the state of affairs of the company at the current date.

The company needed an information system that would standardize procurement, warehouse and sales management, organize operational planning of production for customers' orders. It was necessary to ensure accurate accounting of raw materials, materials and semi-finished products, accelerate the formation of production specifications, and tighten control over each stage of the execution of orders. In addition, it was necessary to automate regulated accounting and ensure that management reporting on the work of units in real time was obtained.

To solve the tasks, the system “1C: ERP Enterprise Management” was chosen. The partner in the implementation was the Institute of Standard Solutions - Production (ITRP).

During the project, 120 workplaces were automated, the system includes: company management, dealership managers, representative offices, warehouse employees, delivery managers, planning and dispatching department employees, logistics department staff, technologists, production dispatcher, shift foremen accounting.

All the key tasks of the enterprise — production, procurement, processing, product release, individual customer orders, sales, etc. — are now clearly regulated and automated.

The employees of the planning and dispatching department form the production schedule in the system taking into account the deadlines for the execution of each production stage. Site masters accept tasks electronically. Operational interaction between production and warehouse units has been established. Accurate accounting of materials sent for processing to the side and semi-finished products obtained from processing has been organized. All approvals are implemented in the system through tasks / tasks and projects. For example, if during the processing of a customer’s order it turns out that for the production of a part of the product a drawing is necessary, and for another part of the product a discounted price is needed, the manager creates a task in the system for the designer to create the drawings, and the product manager for the approval of the necessary discount. During the day, the manager can generate an analytical report and evaluate at what stage is the implementation of each of the tasks.

Automated calculation of specifications for complex custom product configurations. Production employees no longer need to adjust specifications on the fact that materials are written off to production before release. The formation of specifications has accelerated, the number of errors in them is practically reduced to zero. Warehouse employees now clearly give out materials to production for specific stages of specifications, the amount of residual materials in production has decreased.

Data collection terminals (TSD) are connected to the system, which are used to register the beginning and completion of production operations, accounting of materials and marriage at each stage of the technological process. The passage of semi-finished products through the process chain has accelerated. Errors are excluded when performing production operations.

Online information about each stage of the execution of orders in production became available. Sales managers no longer need to contact the employees of the planning and dispatching department and employees of production units to obtain information on the availability of orders. Information on the current status of each order at any time is available in the system. Sales staff can now quickly identify the causes of possible delays in the execution of orders, take measures to prevent deadlines, or, if necessary, coordinate new delivery dates with customers.

An accurate calculation of the actual cost of production is provided. This helps to control the cost of production and rationally manage the profitability of orders.

In addition, the system promptly generates detailed reports on the current work of units. For example, at any time, you can generate a report on the sending of raw materials for processing or transfer of materials and semi-finished products to production, purchase of non-standard materials or current production tasks for production. This helps management to monitor compliance with technological regulations and the work of departments in general.

All this helped the company to establish a clear and uninterrupted production work. The management was able to monitor the work of units in real time. Fulfillment of customer orders accelerated 1.5 times.

Alexei Anatolyevich Cherepkov, managing partner of Glass Technology, said: “We consider the joint efforts and close collaboration within the team of key employees of our company and ITRP experts to be an important factor in the success of the project. As a result of solving the tasks of the project, the interaction between production and warehouse units was debugged, control, transparency and complete controllability of production processes were ensured, the execution of production orders was significantly accelerated. ”
