systematically, barring few large corporate companies. Here is

manufacturers in different line of products may have significantly

different operating structures, their business requirements are

similar.

making firms must efficiently respond to a more demanding

customer-base and build long term, profitable relationships.

Meeting these challenges requires new IT strategies that can boost

revenues, improve the productivity, cut costs, and enhance the

overall management of your business.

In addition, you must be innovative, while seeking operational

excellence at all levels.

Real-time organizational control is necessary, for that sophisticated

workflow is required.

Low literacy level of users.

User can find

information

about the

pending job

cards and the

status shows

‘done’ or

pending.

In some cases it is tedious to make the BOM and so many work orders

for the furniture production such as sofa set.

The job card / work order data entry screen is designed to

capture various stages of the production of the sofa.

There are two parallel activities on the shop floor one line is

cutting and stitching and the second line is carpentry and forming; as

shown in the ERP screen above. The user will report the status, just by

clicking the tick box. And finally the fitting, followed by the QC, and

packing.



The production plan Register will show the following seven stages:

Cutting, Stitching, Carpentry, Foaming, Fitting, QC, Packing

There are two options that user can select - pending job card and closed

job cards.

The register will show the items under each stage. Ashok will visit to

show the same.

Like in all reports, the column heading is a sorting button, user can sort

on the column heading in ascending, or descending order, the report if

required can be exported to excel file.
