Flexible ERP system for the variant production of planat: fast and precise calculation, optimization of production

In the past decades, customer claims in key sectors such as machine and plant engineering have changed significantly. The mass production of individual parts or assemblies was particularly profitable and mostly day -to -day business. Common ERP solutions were also geared towards this- individual or variant production, on the other hand, could only be mapped via detours. The challenges in the variant production lie in the timely processing of a variety of orders with falling lot sizes in short delivery times and fluctuating needs of customers. The needs-based production requires process optimization in the areas of production and logistics, whereby the ERP system has a special function.

The Planat GmbH, based in Stuttgart, developer of the ERP solution FEPA, recognized the growing need for flexible production years ago and linked the document management with the ERP core. The offer process is accelerated by the complete access to calculations and CAD construction data. The consistent support of all processes in the company significantly reduces the effort and ensures higher contribution margins.

The processes between purchasing, sales and manufacturing are easier to digitize and optimize in mass production using software. In the case of variant production, however, parallels between different orders of a similar kind can be identified. An important aspect is the integration of CAD or PDM systems into the selected ERP software and the use of similarities, starting with the construction data up to the tool selection and retrofitting. This enables cost -optimized production. FEPA supports this comprehensively with a modular industry object and a variant configurator that uses existing information and data for past orders for faster processing and implementation. However, it is important that stringent digitization and data maintenance are guaranteed to avoid errors and misjudgments.

The Planat GmbH with its scalable ERP standard software FEPA offers a flexible IT service for the producing medium-sized business. The software is responsible for sales, procurement, logistics, production planning and control with operating data recording and business applications. In addition, industry-specific software content can be integrated as required, such as a document management system (DMS) or Customer Relation hip management (CRM). Since 1981, Planat has been adding the innovative, modular software concept through industry -specific advice and reliable support.
