Scope of K2 implementation in Shape Steel
The reason why Shape Steel chose K2 is the wide possibilities of adapting the system to company processes. With K2, the company's management got a system that they could count on to suit them in the future as well - no matter which direction the company takes in its development.
Interesting facts from the K2 ERP implementation
- Maximum use of standard K2 functions.
- A unique solution for carrying out production tailored to the company.
- Configurator for planning custom production.
- Records of usable residues from production.
- Division of the production process into two separate parts – firing and other operations.
„At Shape Steel, we tried to use mainly the standard functions of K2. Planning custom production using a special configurator is unique. The latter works over the guides and merges the blanks with the same input material. This solution enables better and more efficient production planning. The configurator also handles the registration of residuals and the dissolution of the price into individual orders. This results in much better use of the available material and financial savings have been achieved.“
Radek Kočka, K2 project manager
After deciding on a significant expansion of production, we were looking for software that could handle the management of custom production in our company. We chose K2 because it allows you to gradually add your own modifications, which leads to continuous improvement.
Martin Kovalčuk, financial director of Shape Steel a. s.
