Computer-Aided Material Demand Planning Using Erp Systems and Business Intelligence Technology

Abstract

Effective decision-making in industry conditions requires access and proper presentation of manufacturing data on the realised manufacturing process. Although the frequently applied ERP systems allow for recording economic events, their potential for decision support is limited. The article presents an original system for reporting manufacturing data based on Business Intelligence technology as a support for junior and middle management. As an example a possibility of utilising data from ERP systems to support decision-making in the field of purchases and logistics in small and medium enterprises.

Virtual Reality in Production Layout Designing

“…The main types of software, used in production enterprises, are linked in PLM solutions, which control different parts of the manufacturing cycle. CAD systems define what will be produced, Manufacturing Process Management defines how it will be manufactured, ERP informs when and where it is created, whereas MES provides shop floor control and simultaneously manufacturing feedback (Danilczuk & Gola, 2020). The stored information generally aids communication and improves making decisions, but also removes human errors from the design and the manufacturing process.…”

Computer Aided Assembly Planning Using MS Excel Software – A Case Study

“…Therefore, what becomes a challenge in the organization of production processes are: correct planning, supervision and introduction of required corrective actions, in case of detrimental chance factors (Paprocka, Krenczyk & Burduk, 2021;Sobaszek, Gola & Kozłowski, 2017). There are numerous IT solutions that are designed to support the production manager's work (including ERS, MES class, and other systems) available commercially, but their applicability to small and medium enterprises manufacturing according to individual or small-series orders is very limited (Danilczuk & Gola, 2020). This is often due to the very cost of purchase of this type of software, or the difficulties in current update of production data (Tarigan, Siagian & Jie, 2021).…”
