The Challenges
Ramsey Products needed a way to quickly process customer orders, and to manage inventories. Ramsey had outgrown its current business system and "islands of information" had become a real problem. Key objectives were to update the manufacturing, inventory, supply chain, financial and order management systems to become a fully integrated, real-time system.
The inventory management and shipping processes needed to be simplified. Ramsey needed a fully integrated business system with a fast, reliable transaction management system to meet its business objectives and allow the business to grow.
The Solution
The implemented solution included Infor's ERP SyteLine. This solution and resulting streamlined processes have helped Ramsey speed its products to customers by automating front office and shop floor tasks in a number of ways.
"The Godlan solution helps us move the tremendous amount of data, from material planning and purchasing through the entire manufacturing and warehousing process in real time to meet our order requirements on-time and without error." - Bill Hall, President of Ramsey ProductsAll receiving, inventory and shipping transactions required automation beyond what is normally delivered with most business solutions.
- Receiving transactions needed to spawn manufacturing Just-In-Time transactions
- Inventory move transactions required data to default based on item or type of item
- Shipping transactions required an on-line pick list with real-time access to the ERP database
- Shipping transactions had to be tied to Ramsey's UPS shipping system.
Using Infor ERP SyteLine has met every Ramsey Products requirement. Ramsey is now able to meet the challenges of continued business growth without added staff or additional software.
