Sescoi participated in two die and mold productivity seminars in December, in Mumbai and New Delhi, and will participate in a further two planned by the IMTMA (Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers Association) for February 2010.
Themes at the recent December seminars were ‘Challenges facing the die and mold industry in India and ‘Methodology for cutting lead times in die and mold manufacture’. From Sescoi, senior representatives from leading companies such as ASB International, Anand Mould Steels, Mahindra Navistar Automotives, Bergen Systems, and Maruti Suzuki India, learnt how improvements in manufacturing efficiency could be achieved by implementing ERP or job management software, such as Sescoi’s WorkPLAN Enterprise or MyWorkPLAN solutions.
These custom manufacturing solutions are geared towards the needs of tool and die makers, helping them to quote competitively, monitor production performance and costs as they occur, and ensure that delivery and quality targets are met. Accurate monitoring of these key business indicators enables companies to maximize profits while optimizing customer satisfaction. Sescoi’s consultants highlighted the importance of ease of use and simple implementation for the success of these types of systems. Long and complex commissioning and unfriendly user interfaces can make for poor uptake, low utilization and low ROI. Both WorkPLAN Enterprise and MyWorkPLAN have been designed for simple and rapid installation, making use of existing systems and methods to share data, and hence minimizing the transition and learning curve for the new software.
The next IMTMA seminars, scheduled for February, are to be held in Pune and Ahmadabad. The latter is the largest city in Gujarat with a population of 5.2 million and home to a large number of tool and die manufacturers. Manager and engineers from these companies can learn how to achieve higher productivity through more efficient use of resources and how to raise their skill levels by using expert software.
