ITC needs to improve the efficiency and accuracy of its internal tracking process for highly customizable products to enhance the competition in the electronics manufacturing business.
The Solution
By using JUST-EDI solution, it handles the advance shipping notice of supplier purchase. The suppliers can download the ASN form via the web portal; the system generates the barcode tracking number accordingly for raw materials. Tracking all manufacture batch information and version control process by using the barcode.
The JUST-Barcode system controls all internal process of production and sales packing. All material issue and semi/finish goods manufacture is recorded, which provides real-time and accurate inventory data; it generates inventory analysis reports automatically.
JUST-RWMS improves the efficiency of the warehouse process. Once a job is created, the system will automatically send the factory document to the warehouse for raw material preparation. With this factory document, users can know precisely what to do next and where to find the raw materials by following the bin location instructions. The system has a shop floor warehouse Kanban system to monitor inventory statics and balance daily material planning.
