For implementation of this task it is necessary to increase transparency and accuracy of planning. The OUP system helped to automate control of material resources at all production phases, to control accomplishment of the production program in real time. It is extremely important considering our specifics, the need for material and labor resources is defined during repair of the locomotive. A system also allows to compare and analyze performance indicators of the enterprises, providing an opportunity to reveal and extend the best work practice".

"Any ERP system requires a large number of data for correct work, but there is always not enough time for collecting and preparation. System implementation without stopping of production was one of the main difficulties in the project progress. Many specialists of the company – from masters of workshops to directors of the plants took part in creation of a system. Thanks to joint work it was succeeded not only to solve functional problems, but also to make a system convenient for all its users".
