The plastic and precision engineering industry is one of Singapore’s fastest growing industries. Many companies face not only challenges in increasingly stringent operational and regulatory demands but also the technology upgrading in order to improve their efficiency and productivity. Common problems in this industry include not being able to keep track of the actual production status in the shop floor and lack of visibility in production planning,tool life and usage.
In addition, one of the major challenges faced by this industry is being unable to define accurate production costs, track excessive material usage and ascertain WIP value. Moreover, some companies are still tracking their BOM revisions manually, generating untimely reports. As a result they are not able to respond to customer queries on production status promptly.
This solution not only helps you to eliminate your production problems including production orders, bills of material, supply planning and capacity requirement planning but also helps you make better business decisions to enhance workflow and production planning so as to become more efficient and effective. Teaming up with MSC will improve your business performance in achieving the highest levels of quality, productivity and profitability.
