Production management

Theselling price of a product is now imposed by the market. A company's profit margin is thus now largely dependent on reducing production costs. Today, SENERGY Production Management is the indispensable tool for any company with the goal of really decreasing its production costs to increase profits.

'Mobile computing'

Today mobile computing has become an essential technology. IFCS integrates this technology in its applications so you can access the data you need to work anywhere, anytime, using any kind of mobile equipment (PDA, hand held, portable computer) with a wireless link to a network or other computers.

Inventories

Efficient production management requires rigorous management of inventories (raw materials, finished products, replacement parts, etc.) The SENERGY production management application developed by IFCS offers its users all the tools and features needed to manage the status and content of their inventory in real time (orders, quantity in and out, multistore allocation, multilocation, statistics, etc.).

Budget

The budgetary management supported by SENERGY integrates all elements necessary for efficient production management. All budget lines are recorded and assigned to the relevant operations and resources. Statistical and historical information for budgetary management is accessible at any time in the form of multiple, complete reports.

Kanban

Using Kanban principles, IFCS production management applications allow the following:

  • Decentralize decision-making and thus improve the level of workshop management by assigning supervisors and foremen a role of production and stock manager.
  • Minimize production stock fluctuations, improving stock management, and tending towards zero stock.
  • Regulate demand fluctuations or production volume of upstream workstations to avoid the transmission and amplification of these fluctuations.
  • Reduce administrative delays.

Procurement

Procurement, closely associated with inventory management (raw materials, replacement parts), is a key element of managing production processes. Rigorous planning of production work is inconceivable unless the required physical resources are available at the right time. This availability is guaranteed by specific features of SENERGY production management, and provides users with a degree of reliability and efficiency that meet the highest quality standards.

Human resources

Human resources often play the key role in the production line. The availability and allocation of these resources is fundamental to successful production management. The SENERGY production management application offered by IFCS includes a specific module for processing all management operations associated with human resources and their role in the production process.

Process flow scheduling

IFCS production management applications ensure efficient control of production in order to complete the production plan on time, at the least cost. Available features allow you to select, sequence and assign operators to tasks performed on individual workstations. The software calculates real position in time of start/end dates of operations or operation sequences.

Performance indicator

As a "critical" application designed to manage all factors related to equipment maintenance operations, SENERGY provides a dashboard of performance indicators with all quantitative and qualitative information needed for maintenance operations.

Project management

The project management features offered by IFCS and SENERGY can be used to direct and coordinate human and material resources throughout the life of a project. These features use the advanced technology of ORACLE development tools, allowing you to achieve objectives of scale, cost, time, quality and satisfaction.

Logistic

SENERGY is a logistics tool designed to manage all activities connected with the delivery, at least cost, of a quantity of a product at the place and time of demand.

The specific objectives are as follows:

  • Avoid all wasted production time waiting or out of stock;
  • Reduce lead times and consequently production costs;
  • Manage stocks better (raw materials, products)
  • Decrease lead times and costs.

Sales

The ultimate goal of any organization is to sell their products' The IFCS sales management module manages and monitors all selling operations to your clientele. This function is closely associated with the production process and involves a permanent transfer of information to all actors concerned.

Training

"The only way to learn is through action": Paulo Coelho. A made-to-measure training program contributes to the successful deployment of IFCS solutions. It allows users to rapidly achieve convincing results without disrupting their daily tasks. The effectiveness and productivity of personnel using IFCS solutions is due to serious training, taking account of individual particularities. The IFCS training department, effective and in constant evolution, guarantees our customers and partners will reap the benefits of their investments. The basic principle in training is that the people trained are never disconnected from their daily work. Training sessions take place in the workplace, during short periods, in limited groups, to ensure active attention. Users are trained on the basis of concrete data (terminology, codes, procedures, etc.) specific to their daily work.
