ISSUES & CHALLENGES:

·          Multi-location:  Two factories in separate geographical locations.

·          Efficient distribution of information

·          Decentralization of task & decision

·          Increased transparency and better control

·          Protection/ Security of data

·          Wastage, scrap, rejection

·          Integration of all departments

·          Cost control

·          productivity through elimination of duplication

·          Inventory of raw materials

HOW DNS ERP CAN ADDRESS THESE ISSUES:

·     Use of Internet and the DNS ERP  'send / receive' modules can synchronize ERP servers.  Even if the location does not have fast broadband net connection.  Simple dial-up internet can also be used.

·     Improve team performance through enhanced collaboration

·     Access critical business data and resources from virtually anywhere, anytime

KEY BENEFITS:

·          DNS ERP Software is used for fully integrated Business Management.

·          Customer's order is linked with the Indent and Sales invoice.  Chances of mistakes / miscommunication are reduced with this kind of tight integration.  The work order (job card) link with material issue from stores ensures high level of material management.

·          Top management involvement and necessary ERP training made the project a success.   ERP modules are deployed in various functions such as Marketing, Production, R & D and Finance.

  DNS reporting is based on transactions and not necessarily monthly.  All kinds of reports can easily and quickly be generated for any date range.  Instant Excel sheets, such - sales analysis of which product sold to which distributor, and of item ledgers – what sold, what purchased… with control over rows and columns for sorting.  DNS provides superior tools to easily drill down for detailed information.  The back-end is MS SQL 2000 Server which is fast and bullet-proof.

Games & Toys are made of several interlocking colorful plastic peaces.  Bill of Material (BOM) master gives precise information on what block (part) will go in which games.  The colors are tagged with the item master for easy identification and enhanced inventory management of semi-finished goods.  The raw material inventory such as ABS, etc is managed as well as packing material inventory such as box, polyolefin shrink film, etc.

The top management involvement and intense desire to get an 'integrated business management software' were the driving factors for the success of ERP implementation.
