SOME OF OUR PROJECTS - Brief overview
01IN LINE VEHICLE SEQUENCING
Setup a complete production line for instrument panel system to be delivered to one of the main OEM companies in sequence (ILVS). The production line required 16 consecutive stations with over 80 modular parts to be built based on the broadcast signal right from the OEM assembly line with no prior stock build up allowed. The system was able to build the IPs in mistake proof way and in desired sequence with any variety/combination. Line was fed with kanban method replenishment of inventory. Produced parts immediately delivered to point of assembly in the line assembly sequence. All system development, control, implementation and training were completed within 10 months with a 100% success.
02LEAN MANUFACTURING IMPLEMENTATION AND 5S TRAINING
Client had highly engineered products with multiple revisions and one unit manufacturing practice. The implementation helped the client focusing on value and creating flow whereby improving its volume and customer service significantly. It also included lean manufacturing training and 5S implementation at two of their facilities. This project was completed in less than six months.
03PRE-ERP SELECTION ASSESSMENT
Before this automotive parts manufacturer embarked on a new ERP project, they needed an assessment of their operations from end to end. ABCAN provided a color coded evaluation of their supply chain related operations from detailed level up to the executive level including a road map. It was completed in two months.
04SUPPLY CHAIN SEMINAR
Client had multiple facilities, customers and suppliers. The company had approximately $2 billion inventory with no cross over visibility. Two-day seminar provided a customized education for client's management from various facilities enabling them to perform a uniform SCM implementation. Seminar included case studies, simulation, industry best practices as well as deployment strategies.
05SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
This manufacturing company automated its entire purchasing cycle using the unique supplier relationship management solutions, vSRM. Purchasing can now focus on strategic management while routine purchasing activities are executed in seconds saving the company an average of $50 per PO. This was implemented in three weeks.
06ERP IMPLEMENTATION AND BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
In a highly automated process industry, the client is facing pressure to cut costs, improve efficiency, improve product variety and customer service while minimizing investment. ABCAN's approach was to establish corporate governing policies and business processes to leverage best practices across multiple facilities and get ready for ERP implementation. The selection process was based on evaluating over 2000 assessment questions, identifying and investigating 35 ERP vendors, sending out RFPs and shortlisting them to five and then finally two vendors.
Proven results!
