Manufacturing management solution ''increases fan production''A new system that provides better cost tracking has been implemented by Wanavit Manufacturing and has boosted production by at least 30 per cent.

The Infor's SyteLine 8 Enterprise Resource Planning software was employed in order to enhance quality control throughout the process of making Hatari electric fans, according to Works Management.

Vittaya Thanyasrisung, the firm's IT consultant, explained the solution had provided real-time planning and flexibility enhancements that highlighted "hidden costs" incurred in areas such as maintenance.

The engineering department has worked with manufacturing management and IT experts to eliminate this additional expenditure in order to reduce waste, cut spending and speed up processes.

In addition to costs and staff overtime being driven down, greater control has been achieved over production processes and the quality of items made has improved, assisted by the decision by the company to customise the application to suit its needs.

Dixons recently announced that effective operations management had assisted the firm in weathering the economic downturn and improving its profit margins.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800622062-ADNFCR
