Vikona Pak (Kleverens: Warehouse 15)

2020: Now all the data about the product can be seen on the shipping documentation screen: "Vikona Pak" automates warehouse and production using software "Kleverens"

Detailed description

The capacious concept of "packaging" includes not only the outer shell of any product, which protects against mechanical influences. These are also cardboard boxes, plastic boxes, paper envelopes, air-bubble film. The latter, by the way, is able to protect even from strong blows and damage during transportation.

Vikona Pak produces and sells various types of packaging materials for the safety of goods during transportation and during storage. It is also a leader in the Russian market for recycling. The range includes stretch film from primary and secondary raw materials, mix grade, which has no analogues on the market, adhesive and strepp tape, latex gloves, with double dousing and with PVC point and garbage bags.

"Since we have our own production, we can do different weights and winding of the final products. Accordingly, the nomenclature is also constantly increasing. To date, the accounting system '1C: KA 2.4' already has more than 400 items of goods with different characteristics and parameters. We implemented this configuration of the accounting system as soon as we founded the company. But the inventory was carried out manually all the time according to the lists of the item. We tried to change the format - night, day - but they did not suit us. And due to the fact that the production cycle is continuous, we cannot stop production and manufacture, we decided to look for something more suitable for our realities, "Vladislav Aleksandrovich Discovets, head of production at VIKONA PAK, told a little about the company.

Tasks

Just making something in the workshop is not enough. To understand what the cost of production is and how much net profit the manufacturing company will receive, you need to calculate the costs of raw materials and components, for the purchase and depreciation of equipment, for costs and complaints from customers, for unforeseen expenses. And in order to simplify accounting, organizations implement automated systems, use specialized software and equipment.

"When we made the decision on automation, the first thing we did was analyze the market. The main thing that they wanted to get is that storekeepers can see all the necessary data on the shipping documentation screen: the name and quantity of the goods for shipment, the date and counterparty, what and when to accept, the composition of the delivery. We also assumed that we would use terminals at production to track orders for the manufacture of products, movements of movements to the warehouse of finished products and for inventories, "said Vladislav Alexandrovich.

Decision

There is no doubt that there are mega competent employees who know for sure not only the name of the item, but also the place of storage in the warehouse, and the remainder. But than hoping for the memory of a particular person, it is much easier to scan the barcode from the packaging of products and immediately get comprehensive information. Including about the composition, and about the characteristics, and about the movement of goods. Automation of warehouse operations just ensures the most accurate accounting without errors and the influence of the human factor.

"For the first time I met software from 'Kleverens' a few years ago, when I worked in another company, also in production. And at the time of my employment at VICONA PAK, I knew how to work with this program, I understood its system. Therefore, he offered the management a solution I already know - 'Warehouse 15', for working online. It took me about 7 working days to implement: installation, setting up communication with the base, debugging business processes, creating new documents. Now the warehouse is 90% automated. There are minor improvements left, but everything works fine. But I did not ask about the production: there are no such documents and such processes that are in our '1C: KA 2.4', in 'Kleverens', "the head of production of" VIKONA PAK "shared his working moments.

Now employees of the VIKONA PAK warehouse use 3 ATOL Smart.Lite mobile computers in their work - one at each site:

• in the warehouse of finished products for shipment, acceptance and inventory;
• in the raw material warehouse - so that the raw material quantity can be accepted, shipped and checked;
• backup, since it has not yet been possible to implement automation of production processes.

"In order for documents created or uploaded to the shipping documentation to correspond to the type we need and contain the necessary data, we used the mechanisms available in Warehouse 15 - we did not change anything in the configurator, because there was not enough knowledge in this area . We would also like to implement a mechanism for printing product or delivery notes without contacting a PC - directly from the data collection terminal. With shipping documentation, we are now performing all typical operations: issuing for production and acceptance of raw materials and finished products to warehouse, shipping, moving to warehouses, selecting an order, inventory, viewing balances, collecting barcodes, "Vladislav Aleksandrovich told about working with Cloverens software.

Results

All companies most often face the same problems: inattention and mistakes of employees, slow speed of entering information into the accounting system, re-sorting, inaccurate balances. All difficulties can be solved in one way - it is enough to automate business processes. The main thing is to carry out preparatory measures and implement a bar coding system.

"Software 'Kleverens' is an excellent help in terms of timely accounting and tracking of balances. Now in real time it is clear what went into production, which has already been completed. I can track each shipment and check the remaining raw materials: what goods are in stock and in what quantity. For me, as someone who monitors warehouse and production, improvements' on the face '. But the staff was not ready to switch to a new work algorithm. He trained employees through pain and tears: no one thinks about the logic of the program itself. They told the button to press, they press. Improvements in this area will be seen later, when everyone adapts, "summed up the head of production at VIKONA PAK.
