Maintaining consistent Item codification

Customer Introduction:

A fastener company making hot forging Studs, Bolts and Nuts.

Problem / Goal:

A fastener can be defined completely in terms of type, material grade, dia-pitch, finish & length. But the permutations between these factors run into lakhs of unique items. Thus creating all possible items in master is not possible and a wasteful activity. And if these items were created as and when required, maintaining consistent codification and avoiding duplication was challenging. Also duplicate items were creating major problems for the inventory.

The Solution:

We developed Item Codification software which generates item codes and descriptions quickly, correctly and eliminating possibility of duplicates.

The Result / Benefits:

This made the process of item codification easy, accurate and consistent. No matter who created the items the codes and descriptions became consistent. By avoiding duplicates, the MRP program became more effective and excess purchase was avoided.
