EXAMPLES OF JOBBING ENVIRONMENT AND

USING ERP TO ACHIVE LEAN MANUFACTURING
 1) A sales order is created in the ERP System?

SHAIGAN PHARMACEUTICALS RAWALPINDI

Shaigan Pharmaceuticals only head office with the production plant is located in
Rawalpindi though they are operating in the entire country. Their distributors and field
staff are outsourced, as they are the one who generates demand and responsible for
fulfilling customers requirements of their products. Their ERP system allows their
outsourced partners to generate LSO (List of Sales order) online and then push supply
chain is active in the production plant.

WAL MART

The above snapshot identifies the status of sale order list along with the product category
and price with entire information of customers which enable 3PL to replenish the
customer demand on time and at right place.
2) The system calculates the demand and suggests production?

COKE

The system generates the constraint-based supply plan to meet the demand reflected in
the consolidated forecast. System of coca cola also facilitates reporting-rich offering data
visualization and strong analysis capabilities. By this means Coke is able to meet
optimization.
IFS ELECTRICS

IFS is a energy savers and LED manufacturer in India, The ERP system is capable of
forecasting demand using variety of statistical tools such as moving average, frequency
and regression analysis on monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis. Results
tabulated are used by assembly lines manager to set appropriate batch and lot site.
3) The planner converts the suggestion to a production order?
DELL

On a production order you will find assembly operations for manufacture on the Work
Orders tab. The times and the cycles shown in the production order are, in the same way
as the materials, theoretical data. The user can change the values to reflect reality for
manufacturing. ERP automatically calculates the operations required for the production
order. If the work centers are linked to analytic accounts, at the end of production, ERP
will generate the analytic accounts representing the manufacturing costs. This will allow
you to work out profitability per work center or manufacturing unit through analytic
accounting.
EMAAR BUILDERS

The 'Create Planned Records' Maintenance function in the Production and Sales Orders
modules will create Production Orders to schedule the assembly of Output Items that you
have sold in advance. To be sold in advance, the Output Item must be included in a Sales
Order with a Planned Delivery Date.
4) The system notifies the buyer of the demand of raw materials?
DELL
Dell does not have any warehouse or any production facility for making equipments
which are used in assembling computers. Thus everything is outsourced by the dell to the
different vendors. When the orders are placed on the www.dell.com by the customers,
dell’s supply chain is instantly active and pull supply chain takes place as a result, but in
this process, their web enabled ERP system instantly communicate the acquisition of raw
material and assembled parts to the different vendors. This act makes their supply chain
responsive and dictates this effort as a competitive weapon.

7 ELEVEN
7 eleven ERP software solutions is RFID based system in which the sales recorded in the
RFID enabled ERP system are shared with suppliers of their vendors. This enables them
what to send and in what quantity. Thus ERP system is one who generates procurement
reports in the form of purchase order. Once goods are received GRN is automatically
detected by the RFID enabled system if they are racked in store warehouses.

5) The system notifies the scheduler of the demand for time?

NATAL PORTLAND CEMENT

For each working day per depot, CBASS (Cement booking and scheduling system) has
the complement of available vehicles, their working hours and exactly what trips have
been booked against each vehicle. At the time of order placement, CBASS is requested,
by the ERP system, to offer possible offload times that are allowed based on current fleet
commitments. By using estimated and learnt times for the tasks that make up the trip in
question, CBASS can build up the time required to fulfill the request and analyses this
against the current commitments to show possible offload times. Once a suitable time is
chosen, this trip is added to the schedule and control returns to the ERP system.
 SUN POULTRY

Sun Poultry uses demand scheduler to communicate with the seeders or breeders on the
behalf of it generates purchase order to the vendors.6) Raw materials are purchased or
reserved from available free inventory?
PREMIER PLYWOOD

A system written specifically for plywood manufacturers, cut to size and panel size. It

purchase order request. Primarily, it enables a buyer to issue a purchase order and obtain
a response from the provider to notify if a certain line item is accepted, rejected, or
pending via the purchase order confirmation schema. This scenario does not cover the
confirmation message back to the user.
7) Tasks are scheduled?

BURMA CEMENTS

The above diagram shows the Gantt chart on the right side, in which interlinked tasks
along with the time it takes for fulfillment are given at different phases of manufacturing
cement in a facility. MS project application is commonly used for scheduling of work
activities. But MRP systems in Burma Cements provide such facility interfaced with inter
supply chain.
TELENOR

Tasks are distributed in its order for the successful fulfillment of customer service
representative in a franchise. As they follow lean management techniques sometimes
standardization of tasks are ignored hence due to the diverse structure of service industry.

8) Finished goods are manufactured?

STAR ELECTRICS
Star electric produces pedestal fan is Faisalabad.
PAKWAY FERTILIZERS
A Pakway fertilizer produces pesticides for the wheat fields. 9) Finished goods are
shipped to satisfy the sales order?
PEPSI CO
When the finish goods are produced finally after an assembly line in Pepsi Co, bottles are
sent to the warehouse of plant, where they are packed in crates and shipped to distributor
according to sales report. In order to manage warehousing ERP software sends the data of
batch number to the warehouse in order to provide clear visibility. Warehouse reports are
generated once finished goods are made and shipped to 3PL.

SHAIGAN PHARMACEUTICALS
