Ferromatik Milacron India : Integrated ERP Solution

As Ferromatik Milacron India is fast becoming a global company, it faces

competition from other manufacturers in India and China. The company felt the

need to resolve the problem areas that could be hindering the company's growth.

Its main problem is that the existing ERP system is not able to meet the current

business requirements.

And as the company relied on a patchwork of independent legacy systems, there

were different sources for getting information, that leads to data analysis and

reporting getting delayed as the data is manually obtained. Price is a main

challenge in the manufacturing industry, and giving a quote to customers has

become a tedious process with no proper product costing method in place.

Moreover, without a seamless flow of data from different modules, the

information about inventory value, material price, production costs, etc. were

not available readily, leading to inaccuracy of cost calculation for the

machines.

With the implementation of JD Edwards as the ERP solution, Ferromatik has

been able to resolve the issues they faced. Earlier the activities from planning

to production, accounting, sales and finance were not integrated. Now the

business processes are seamlessly integrated, and with data management being

done online, information about finished goods etc. is available even to the

sales personnel across the country in real time. They intend to implement CRM

and BI within the existing system in future.
