Manufacturing ERP
How a High-Volume Manufacturing Unit Eliminated Production Bottlenecks Using ERP
A real-world ERP implementation that replaced manual planning and job cards with automated, scalable production workflows.
Background
The organisation operated a high-volume manufacturing facility producing thousands of product variants. Planning relied on manual processes and individual expertise.
The Challenge
- Single-person dependency for production planning
- Manual job cards and limited throughput
- No real-time visibility across departments
- High rejection and rework rates
The ERP Solution
Positron ERP centralized product masters, automated job card generation and provided stage-wise production tracking with dashboards for supervisors and managers.
Implementation Approach
The rollout followed a phased approach: master-data, pilot on a production line, roll-out to remaining lines, and training for operators and supervisors.
Results & Impact
- Higher job-card throughput without extra staff
- Improved schedule adherence and reduced lead times
- Lower rejection rates and rework
- Better utilisation of machines and resources
