About LesoKart
LesoKart is a prominent metal fabrication company specializing in vending machine enclosures. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-quality manufacturing, the company faced operational inefficiencies that affected its production workflow and overall productivity.
Challenges Faced by LesoKart
Unit of Measurement – Automatic Conversion Discrepancies
- LesoKart experienced inconsistencies in the measurement units across different production stages in their old ERP i.e. Procurement, Issuance of raw material & Final product.
- The purchase unit of raw materials like coils in Tonnes/Kg differed from the Issuance unit might be Kg/Meters and the final finished product converted into Numbers used a separate measurement standard, leading to inventory and production tracking challenges.
Solution :- Absolute ERP automated unit conversions across all stages—purchase, issuance, and final product. One time you have to define all your unit conversion ratio for the different stages & relation between the units for conversions & ERP will convert automatically all units at the different stages with the accurate calculations, reducing manual efforts and errors.
Variants Management Complexity
- LesoKart had to create multiple unique products or define multiple unique part code for every single product to address the specifications or parameters of each variant. Parameters they usually consider are thickness, Size & grade.
- If any of the parameter changes like thickness of the raw material changed from 3 mm to 5 mm then they have to make a unique product with unique part code.
- The process lacked efficiency and slowed down production & chance of human error increased.
Solution :- We have provide utility to them in which ERP system enabled Automatic Variant Generation, software will create all possible combination of different product variants for the main product by selecting or considering different specification or parameters like thickness, size & grade. ERP will suggest them the list of all these variants from where the user can select the variant which he wants to create by clicking check box & ERP will create the unique variant code in sequence to the main product part code & eliminates the redundant manual work.
Challenges in Modifying the Bill of Materials to Meet Customer Requirements Manually
- The company manually modified product specifications, such as thickness, size, and grade, to match customer requirements or making the new BOM every time to match the customer needs
- This process was time-consuming and error-prone, leading to inefficiencies.
Solution :- Absolute ERP introduced Smart and automated BOM Cloning utility, allowing users to copying the existing product BOM on a single click & user can adjust only necessary specifications without creating the entire new BOM, saving time and improving accuracy.
And provided the import BOM utility – BOM created by the designing software like CAD, Solid works can be imported on a single click through excel which reduces the human errors & saves time.
Top Perks & Outcomes
1. Decrease of manual efforts upto 50%
Automated BOM cloning and top-notched variant selection which minimized the need for manual intervention, saves time and resources.
2. Improved Accuracy
Standardized unit calculations with automated results reduced errors in production and inventory management.
3. Quick Customizations
The ERP system enabled AI-powered modifications, significantly reducing downtime for meeting customer-specific requirements.
4. Streamlined Operations
The AI automated unit conversion and variant management eliminated complex tasks which improves workflow efficiency.
5. Optimized Inventory Management
Consistent unit conversions ensured accurate tracking and tracing of raw materials which helped efficient processing of finished products with minimised efforts.
6. Improved Scalability
With automation in place, LesoKart can handle a higher volume of product variants without increased efficiency to manage complexities.
Conclusion
By implementing Absolute ERP, LesoKart can successfully overcame challenges like checking discrepancies on units of measurement, variant management, handle complexities and BOM modifications etc. The automation of key processes reduced manual efforts, minimized errors, and enhanced overall productivity. With faster and more accurate product customization, LesoKart is now well-positioned to meet customer requirements efficiently and scale operations seamlessly.
