00:00:05 - 00:00:22 "Controlling 7,500 part lines on a manufacturing build is extremely challenging without having an ERP system. Now with WinMan, we're able to see everything that we need to do in a short space of time."
00:00:23 - 00:00:51 "We manufacture new equipment for the RNLI, we also refit in-service equipment, and we make repairs. We have supplementary services like design engineering and logistic support. We procure a lot of material and manufacture in-house. We have a complete turnkey solution from raw material coming in to a fully assembled machine coming out the other end."
00:00:52 - 00:01:19 "In the old system, it was very manual; the business was built on spreadsheets that didn't link together. It was very difficult to get cross-functional information. WinMan's really brought together all of that information so we've got a one-stop-shop. We can see at any point in time where we are progressing financially, with inventory, supply chain, manufacturing, or engineering."
00:01:20 - 00:01:51 "We're now able to check and make sure parts are coming in early enough; all materials come in with a planning buffer. We've seen a big reduction in overdue orders. For the RNLI, it's imperative that we get machines back in service as quick as possible. We need accurate stock levels, and WinMan helps us do that by having that live inventory information."
00:01:52 - 00:02:28 "We shortlisted 14 suppliers and WinMan scored very highly on all our requirements. The implementation manager was very useful with technical challenges. The solution was ready 'out of the box,' and the time taken from go-live to realizing improvements was really quick."
00:02:29 - 00:03:00 "We needed greater control on the level of manufacturing work. We have big jobs that take 6 to 12 months with lots of parts. We're now able to close manufacturing orders for much shorter bodies of work, meaning we can truly see progress on the shop floor and monitor costs through that process."
00:03:01 - 00:03:39 "We use the manufacturing orders system for standard work with Bill of Material structures. We use the job modules for projects and repairs where we don't know what materials we're going to use—it acts as a bucket to collect labor and materials. The jobs module also has a customized dashboard telling us costs used so far versus expected invoice amounts."
00:03:40 - 00:04:17 "A lot of parts have subcontract routings for metal treatment or machining. WinMan identifies which supplier they're going to and when, so we can raise purchase orders in advance. It supports the supply chain by suggesting what parts to order, ensuring the production team has the full paperwork on the shop floor."
00:04:18 - 00:04:35 "By the finance department, WinMan has substantially changed the way they work. Previously everything was on paper with filing cabinets full; it is now entirely paperless. The end-of-month cycle is done probably weeks earlier than it used to be."
00:04:36 - 00:05:28 "In phase one, we looked at core functionality like finance and stock. In phase two, we're looking at WinMan Go handheld devices to fully integrate the shop floor and time/attendance software to eradicate timesheets. In phase three, we'll look at micro-connections and 'blue sky' requirements to push the business forward."
