SYSPRO ERP with its advanced reporting system means we have
our finger on the pulse of the business, allowing us to know on a day-to-day basis
exactly where we are. The system produces exceptional reports.”
But then
Meltham Mills Engineering Ltd is an exceptional company, having developed
over 50 years of engineering and heat treatment excellence. It provides comprehensive
heat treatment and metallurgical services to the precision engineering industry.
The company is a leading supplier of fully machined, heat treated and surface finished
power transmission components to the world’s leading earth moving and agricultural
vehicle manufacturers.
Since taking over in August 2005, the firm’s current management have focused their
efforts on the needs of their customers. Major investments have been made in lean
manufacturing, CNC (Computer Numerical Control)/ CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine),
to produce tighter production times, and the introduction of a core SYSPRO ERP system.
SYSPRO has provided Meltham Mills with the ability to identify company-wide operational
expenditure and significantly reduced costs.
SYSPRO ERP went live on 1st January 2007, with day 1 of the implementation seeing
Meltham Mills Engineering become operational. Peter Fletcher said: “I am pleased
to report that the factory moved forward without a single problem.”
The financial functions for the accounts department were implemented in the second
month, while at the same time user expertise within the factory was improved, including
slicker data entry, learning short cuts and so on. By the end of March, the company
was making use of the information gathered by and presented by the system.
Meltham Mills Engineering is already planning to extend its ERP system with shopfloor
data capture high on the agenda. This phased approach to expanding SYSPRO’s use
will enable the company to utilise shopfloor information and gain full traceability
of products and material and the necessary audit trails.
