HONG KONG, March 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ABAS Business Solutions (PRC) Ltd. announced today that the Company's ABAS ERP system has been successfully implemented in Michael Weinig (Yantai) Machinery Co. Ltd. (Weinig China).
Founded in 1996, Weinig China is a 100% German subsidiary of Michael Weinig AG Germany, the leading manufacturer for the solid wood processing machinery industry. Weinig China's business has been developing rapidly. The average annual growth rate has kept over 30% since its foundation.
Rapid business development has placed a higher demand on production and purchasing management in Weinig China. To make sure that all work orders were completed on time, production resources like materials, machine equipment, etc. needed to be better allocated. However, the increase of production caused the supply chain process to become more and more complex and disorderly. Problems like lack of materials and delivery cunctation appeared and affected the market competitive power and customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, the bottleneck in production management was also found in subsidiaries in other countries. Considering the situation, in the end of 2005, Weinig Group decided to implement ERP system in worldwide companies to achieve efficient management.
Since it was an international project, Weinig Group expected the ERP vendor to be rich with experience in international projects and provide local support to subsidiaries. Also, the system's multi-language support was necessary. After selection and comparison, Abas was selected as the vendor.
Cooperating with Abas AG, Weinig China's ERP project was implemented by Abas-PRC in February 2007 and went live successfully at the end of 2007. With effort from both parties, the benefits the system brought to Weinig China were obvious. Supply chain procedures like sales, purchasing and production were optimized. For example, in order to decide the types, quantity and delivery dates of the materials to be purchased, purchasing officers needed to calculate and summarize the data from the production department manually. Nowadays, the corresponding Purchase Order Suggestion (POS) can be generated by the system automatically according to the productive data in system. The only thing that the purchasing officers need to do is to communicate with suppliers, which accelerates the purchasing process, guarantees JIT purchasing and sufficient stock, and avoids errors caused by manual calculation.
Furthermore, having implemented ERP projects worldwide successfully, data can be shared internationally throughout the Weinig Group. The trade status of subsidiaries can be viewed in the headquarters at any time, which offers timely and exact data for international decision-making.
