挑战
The senior management team at Dunlop Systems & Components identified the need for a more robust and efficient ERP system to replace their outdated and costly legacy system. The legacy system had several issues, including data accuracy problems related to BOM's routings and core part data, and a poor MRP mechanism that resulted in operational inefficiency. Dunlop aimed to implement a comprehensive ERP package focusing on production, logistics, and project management. Their future plans included extensive use of shop floor data collection, PDA’s, barcoding, and live reporting of production.

解决方案
Dunlop Systems & Components partnered with Medatech UK to implement the Priority ERP system. Priority provided a standard system with modifications tailored to Dunlop's business processes. The implementation included extensive data cleansing before migrating to the new system, ensuring accurate results across various data analyzers. The new ERP system facilitated smooth and efficient workflows in the challenging environment of a manufacturing platform within a multi-company setup. The project management module was integrated into the system, enhancing transparency and collaboration across departments. The business intelligence module allowed for executive dashboards and drill-down capabilities, providing management with a comprehensive view of business processes and performance.

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
