Impress Art accelerated production orders by 15% with 1C: ERP

2021: Optimizing the execution of production orders

On September 28, 2021, 1C announced that Institute of Model Solutions experts automated the operation of the Impress Art production company. The implementation of 1C: ERP Enterprise Management  and the barcode system helped organize the operational management of the warehouse. The production of raw materials is optimized , control over  its consumption  and quality  at all stages of the technological cycle is strengthened, traceability of batches is ensured. The planning of the work of the production departments was optimized, the load of equipment  in the workshops was optimized. Orders  in production accelerated by  15%.

Impress Art accelerated production orders by 15% with 1C: ERP

According to the company, previously the  company  used disparate programs  and spreadsheets for regulated accounting, warehouse management and production. Separate   , unrelated, item guides were used in the warehouse, shop floor, purchasing department, and accounting department. It was difficult to control the movement of materials  and semi-finished products between warehouses  and production workshops, to plan  and control production.

The company needed a unified information system for all departments, which  would help organize the operational accounting of raw materials  and finished products, ensure the traceability of their  batches, and strengthen control over the  execution of production operations  and the consumption of materials.

To solve the tasks, the 1C: ERP Enterprise Management system was chosen.  The implementation partner was the Institute of Standard  Solutions - Production (ITRP), which has the status of 1C: ERP Center  and has been specializing  in automation of production enterprises for more than 20 years.

Key project outcomes:

• Production interfaces have been developed that allow employees  to register transactions online.
• A barcode system has been implemented  taking into account series of items, automated printing of labels for marking. Products, semi-finished products  and materials at the  enterprise  are mainly presented  in the form of rollers, each of  which  is an indivisible unit of storage  of ilogistics. When a roller is moved between production shops  and warehouses, its barcode is scanned  using the data collection terminal. Online information  is captured  in the system.  As a result, operations were optimized in  the areas of flexography, offset printing  and extrusion,  including  the formation of series, their  placement in  cells, shipment by  order, transfer to  production or  another warehouse, return  of unspent residues from production, acceptance  from the extrusion workshop. There have been fewer errors entering data  into the system. Traceability of batches from  raw materials to  finished products is ensured.
• Automated quality control of materials  and semi-finished products. The system records the inspection of materials  and semi-finished products  in the quality control department  and prohibits the release  of materials that have not  passed such inspection. The speed of registration of control procedures has increased, materials  and semi-finished products are transferred faster  to the next stage of the technological cycle.
• Automated control of raw material consumption  in production. This task is now accomplished  using specialized interfaces for warehouse workers. This has helped to avoid cross-sorting  in production, reduce  consumption deviations (excess consumption, consumption  of the wrong material).
• Accurate calculation of the cost of semi-finished products in  each production area is provided. This helps to control the change in value at  each stage of production  and identify reserves to optimize costs.

As a result of working  together with Institute of Model Solutions experts, we  received positive results in  our production. Optimized order execution speed. Thanks to the prompt entry of reliable data  into 1C: ERP, the interaction of employees of different departments was simplified, transaction costs were reduced: they optimized the activities of various services  for accounting for product production and accounting for production operations. The work  does not need to duplicate data  in different systems,  and the phased introduction of data  in different areas allows you to accumulate more information  about products for  quality control. noted Anatoly Solomennikov, Executive Director of  Impress Art LLC

2020: Implementation of "1C: ERP Enterprise Management"

The main goal of the project was to improve the quality, reliability and efficiency of information for management decisions.

The results of the project are as follows:

• Labor costs for the operational accounting of materials and products have been repeatedly reduced, the accuracy of traffic and balance data has significantly improved;
• Automation of bar coding with support for the uniqueness of nomenclature series allowed to ensure complete transparency and traceability of batches in production;
• Specialized interfaces for AWS in production made it possible to organize automated control of raw material consumption to eliminate errors with re-sorting and reduce deviations in consumption;
• Prompt and reliable management reporting for decision-making has become possible.

The industrial operation of the first stage began in the summer of 2019, about fifty jobs were automated.
