Key Challenges Managed

Raw Material Inventory Level Control

In this industry there is very high level redundancy of the inventory due to client gave the open order for the year and give the schedule on monthly basis, every month schedule which is not predicated or not possible to do for casting for every month.

1. In PDM module we design Item process which is the combination of Bill of material and routing sequences.
2. Which help for during manufacturing order against item process right quantity of raw material issue to shop floor
3. Ekatm ERP generates material consumption variance report.

Benefits:

1. Variance is reduced by 10%
2. Scrap during process reduced due to awareness of measurement.
