The Key Challenges
To streamline operations and improve its customer service levels, BSC went on the search for a new IT system that would provide an integrated solution to cover all functions:
​
-
Planning & execution of manufacturing operations.
-
A configuration mechanism to allow the quoting of customers for new products & requoting for existing products. Accounting for cost changes & modifying the markup.
-
“Quote to production in a click of a button”: Generating part numbers, BOMs & routings quickly.
-
Stock management, traceability, managing subcontractors, labels printing & sales admin.
The Solution
-
Priority ERP was implemented to cover all areas of BSC Diecasting & Finishing’s business, integrating all their operations within one seamless database.
-
The solution consisted of Priority’s full manufacturing ERP software suite and fully upgradeable customisations to fit BSC’s business processes.
The Outcome
-
Single database for the business data: BSC has upgraded from working with disparate spreadsheets stored on individual PCs to a state-of-the-art integrated business system. This has allowed much better control, distribution & visibility of information throughout the business. Due to a better knowledge & visibility of the engineering data, BSC can convert quotes into a live product is one click of a button, saving time & improving the accuracy of their BOMs & routings.
-
Better inventory control: With better management of their inventory & sub-contractors, BSC has achieved greater traceability of their current stock & can now plan ahead for both purchasing & production.
"ERP is often seen as low priority, but in this day and age you must be efficient, transparent and accountable at every stage of the project. I'm confident that investment in this area is going to be critical to our continued success."
