KamAZ 1

IT landscape in which implementation of ERP, extremely motley is conducted: own developments, 1C, Galaktika, Compass, Baan, Omega Production. In 2007 the SAP solution ERP is defined as the basic. Besides KAMAZ is a difficult control object in terms of its distribution, a full production cycle and variety of the business processes requiring optimization and change at implementation of complete ERP. The technology chain of JSC KAMAZ is the twelve large plants of automobile production. On the Naberezhnye Chelny industrial platform the metallurgy sector (the foundry and forge plants), the plant of engines, the press and frame, automobile, repair and instrumental plants, the industrial park "Master" and "Remdiesel" are located. The largest of affiliated enterprises outside the city Naberezhnye Chelny — JSC Neftekamsk Automotive Plant and JSC Tuymazinsky Plant of Auto Concrete Mixers in Bashkiria and also the Stavropol JSC Avtopritsep-KAMAZ.

For the ERP project at automobile plant the main was a task to build processes of production planning, internal logistics and over time to cover with this solution other plants of a technology chain in Naberezhnye Chelny. The nomenclature which moves between the plants of a technology chain is extensive: from 700 to 62 thousand positions. The repair and instrumental plant operates with the nomenclature in one million. Therefore continuous scheduling is very important.

Volume information flows create high requirements to high-speed performance of a system. It should be capable to process logistic data in the daily mode, in the mode of a clock period of deliveries to rebuild a planning chain taking into account capacity limitation and a remaining balance, operating with tens of internal warehouses and repartitions. In terms of logistics and accounting it is heavy transactions.

To ERP conventional process when the plan for one-three months was imposed worked. Between the plants big electronic files were transferred, screen forms were used. There were inaccuracies of planning. It was extremely difficult to control onto target deliveries — nomenclature positions of autocomponents with the properties required under this model. It means that the car not of that complete set which was ordered as a result gathers on the pipeline. Extremely negative phenomenon — the "side" car i.e. assembled partially which should be finished out of the pipeline. Even one such case breaks the production program per day. It involves or additional entry of people into work, or non-execution of the program of month. And the total number of machines will meet, and the order of the specific client will not be executed. Risks of loss of reputation of the producer increase.
