Production Entry System (PES)
During the last decade, business organisations have extensively implemented on-line information system to capture data, in every area of business function & activity, for better control & management but till date the factory production data is mostly entered manually and then fed into the host computer system.
However, in most cases, the organisations have the following problem:
- Delay in feeding data
- Only summarised data is recorded. Such data is just historical statistical data and cannot help in planning/modeling/controlling production system, as finer details of each stage of production are not available in such off line data input system. Detailed machine data of each stage of production is lost.
- Possibility of error/manipulation/window dressing at worker/supervisor level to earn incentives/suppress inefficiencies
To get on-time data from each stage of process at micro-level, machines should be connected directly to input computer and process data are transmitted to the computer system directly for processing & analysis. In India, such machine – computer interface is rarely found, except in automatically controlled sophisticated machines of large organisations.
Production Entry System (PES) enables you to capture production data at the point of entry using handheld devices, by the worker himself, which gets transmitted to the host computer system.
You do not have to install any new computer application. Just place PES data devices to capture machine data and transmit directly to your existing host computer system. You run your application as usual. PES eliminates the present redundant layer of manual data recording and delayed data feeding into computer system.
You derive immense benefits. The investment pays back instantly through cost reduction and startling improvement in management control.
- Supervisors get LIVE data from every process on production floor.
- Correct and time stamped data are captured instantly at each stage of process
- No manual recording, saving expense
- No manual data entry, saving expense
- Data at more granular level (for each stage of process/machine operation) are available which cannot be obtained manually, allowing finer analysis
- Leads to better planning, productivity improvement, wastage reduction, etc, enabling better cost control & cost reduction
- It is possible to transmit such data on-line, further at corporate/planning level, for better control by higher management. This will help the higher management to plan, mange & control production activities remotely from a centralized place, over all its units, irrespective of location
- Cut down on your production cost by unimaginable margins, increase efficiency by taking your machines and workers to next level of availability
- Supervisors gets LIVE data feed from every process on production floor
- There are no sophisticated machines involved, hence you can pick devices from any store across the globe
