Scope of K2 implementation at Czech Aerosol
Today, the K2 information system is used in practically all agendas at Czech Aerosol. Employees thus work with all parts of the information system available to them. During the last system update, the complete implementation of the ERP and MES system in one common solution took place. With regard to production in an explosive environment, high demands are placed on workers and the information system in the area of accuracy, evaluation and monitoring of work procedures.
Interesting facts from the K2 ERP implementation
- Almost paperless production management using a barcode reader.
- Production planning for lines, control of materials and capacities.
- Connection of machines and production technologies to the information system.
- Precise batch tracking and management, product genealogy and chemical records.
- Consistent use of barcodes in all stages of production, not only in warehouses, but also in preparation for production.
- Use of handling units.
- Online output of production by subtracting values from machines.
- Quality control and laboratory part of the K2 system.
- Controlled process of design and development of new products ant the process of approval and release intro production.
- Integration of corporate guidelines and standards into processes in the K2 system.
"At Czech Aerosol, I appreciate the comprehensive approach: operation – process – control – everything in one system and in context. The entire management of the company in one integral system including not only the economy, but also the processes of preparation and realization of production, with a consistent connection of quality management and monitoring of defined company processes. In order to exclude and limit mistakes, everything is transferred to electronic records and thus a fundamental reduction of secondary records and paper circulation."
Pavel Motan, K2 managing director
By implementing the new production system into the existing K2 system, it was possible to maximally simplify the entire passage of material and its transformation into final products, making it more transparent and eliminating the error rate caused by the natural human factor. This is what we were most interested in from the moment we decided to deploy such a system. However, by connecting with logistics, production planning and quality control and connecting to other modules of the K2 system, we gained added value that we didn't even expect at the beginning.
Marek Bohatý, chairman of the board of directors of Czech Aerosol
