Process Manufacturing ERP Software

Process Manufacturers face a number of challenges like the price fluctuations of raw materials, energy and changes in market demands while following strict industrial control and compliance laws. The bill of materials tend to be complex as product formulations are scaled to manufacture a specific amount with precise weights and ingredients.

WinMan ERP Software is an all-in-one solution designed to provide multi-level batch traceability from start to finish, from initial raw material purchase through to final delivery. It is designed to satisfy and compliment 'Good Automated Manufacturing Practices' (GaMP) and Lean manufacturing principles.

Benefits of WinMan ERP

Warehouse Management

It provides complete visibility and management of inventory. Serial numbers can be allocated to purchased and manufactured goods, to provide full traceability. Tasks such as the exchange of invoices, shipping notes and delivery confirmation (EDI) between everyone from the originator to the recipients can be automated. Integration with other carrier systems and suggestions for different picks, packs, and put away strategies is also possible with WinMan ERP. All warehouse information can follow a traditional paper trail or users can access real-time data on a mobile device.

Improve Quality and Efficiency

The quality control functions can help manufacturers meet compliance regulations, monitor performance of suppliers and track QC inspections. WinMan helps create an efficient operational environment by allowing users to automate or introduce specific workflows to help minimise input errors and save time.

Multi-Level Batch Traceability and Compliance

WinMan provides lot traceability from source through to manufacturing to final delivery. Detail traceability within the system will support GaMP compliance. Master batch records can be created and saved within the system which will eliminate the need for paper copies.

Purchasing and Minimising Costs

The system can facilitate Kanban purchasing. Milestones can be set so raw ingredients and supplies can be ordered just in time prior to production. Cost of production and waste can be accurately tracked. Any leakages or issues within the manufacturing and operational processes can be identified and rectified.

Operational Productivity

Repetitive processes and manual tasks such as creating EDIs, invoices, packing notes and optimising delivery routes, can all be automated and streamlined by WinMan. This will decrease human errors, increase efficiency and can eliminate the need for printing but, most importantly it saves time. Business decisions can also be made quickly based on the data pulled from the WinMan system to create informative dashboards and reports.

Our WinMan ERP system allows me to directly and quickly access the management information I need to run the business – real-time reporting of key performance indicators such as operating efficiencies and deliveries. Vitally, more consistent pricing gives a truer margin on the work we perform.

As a director of the business it was important to me that the system we implemented not only met our functional requirements, but also came from a supplier that was prepared to take on single source responsibility. Of all of the companies we evaluated, WinMan were the only one that ticked all the boxes.

The underlying advantage of WinMan for John Sankey was its flexibility and the ease with which it could be tailored to suit the company’s specific needs.

Our objective was to streamline data processing and substantially reduce keystrokes – a 50% reduction was the minimum target – and a lot of that keystroking was to do with assignment. The more non-value-adding activity we can take out the better.
