Tip

of the ways to check, whether the data entry is happening correctly, is through the dashboard. In case a dashboard shows an absurd figure, it is an indication of incorrect or incomplete data entry.
The best way to correct the situation is to mark such dashboards as favourites and ask the concerned department to correct it.
You can then monitor the progress of correction through the dashboard. Data will get corrected quickly and OurSys will become lot more productive, informative & directive for your company

Benefits of delivering quickly?
  • Lesser Working Capital
  • Higher Throughput
  • Customer Satisfaction / Rating
  • Lesser Inventory
  • Better Cash flow
  • Competitive Edge
  • Premium pricing opportunity

There is a strategy to be deployed in order to deliver quickly. It's a game of proper synchronisation. But depending upon the nature of business, the strategy to deliver quickly varies.

Each department has a role to play in the strategy to deliver quickly. In this article we will discuss how Purchase department can contribute towards faster deliveries and how to make optimum use of OurSys ERP for the same.

Case Study

Production capture with multiple UoM

Customer Introduction:
A leading french company in metal packaging, with factory in Udupi, have chosen OurSys ERP for their operations. They manufacture closures, cans, aerosol cans, industrial packaging and decorated & personalised tin boxes.

Problem / Goal:
The production figures for the first few operations are in "sheets" whereas later it is in "pieces". Initially OurSys did not have the provision to capture production in different units of measurement (UoM).

The Solution:
We provided a feature to define UoM and it's conversion factor for each process in the process layout.

For example we defined "sheets" as the UoM for "Coating" process and defined 1 sheet = 20 nos. of finished product. We then provided to capture production in terms of "sheets" and converted automatically to it's default UoM, "pieces".

The Result / Benefits:
Now it is not required to split the job order if the UoM changed. After this feature, a huge amount of data entry has been saved.

This solution also fits the scenario where the weight of the job varies for every process and there are multiple outsourced operations which are billed in terms of weight.

At OurSys we stretch our limits everyday to provide such solutions to our customers.
