Despite the fact that the use of plastics is increasing worldwide, the plastics industry is still a highly competitive industry that is experiencing serious challenges. For many companies, a major challenge has been to deal with the effects of globalization, which has led to lower industry growth as manufacturing flowed to lower-cost locations. The response has been to diversify into other products and markets, or identify niche areas such as producing higher quality goods.
Plastic products are used in almost every aspect of modern life from airplane, motor vehicle and medical device parts to industrial and construction components and consumer goods. The evolution of technology and material science, along with rapid global growth presents suppliers of plastics products with many challenges and opportunities. Whether you supply commodity or niche markets or run recycling programs, SYSPRO gives you the tools to help you improve customer relations and service, control your costs so as to maximize your profit margins, increase manufacturing flexibility, and reduce time from product concept to market.
Where your customers are large organizations, such as original equipment manufacturers with whom you negotiate prices on a contract or volume basis, more complex pricing is required. SYSPRO's pricing, trade management and sales analysis facilities enable you to provide acceptable pricing terms and delivery targets to large customers without sacrificing profitability. You can choose to keep a history not only of sales data, but also of individual customer and product activities, so you can identify trends and seasonal components of demand.
SYSPRO enables you to implement continuous improvement by giving you visibility to costs and profits across the business and helping you to identify points of waste as they happen. These include variations in expected and actual raw material and production costs; late supplier deliveries; obsolete, slow-moving and excessive inventories; and product defects and scrap. In addition, SYSPRO facilitates the inspection and tracking of materials from purchase, through production, to customer, thereby maximizing quality control and providing you with the tools to manage product recalls, should they occur.
Original equipment manufacturers look increasingly to closer collaboration with plastics product suppliers to cut production timetables and minimize disruption to their supply chain. SYSPRO facilitates seamless, secure electronic data interchange and computer-aided-design (CAD) integration, as well automation and reconciliation of scheduled order releases.
SYSPRO provides tools to streamline and track the introduction of new or modified product designs, as well as to optimize production efficiency by providing you the tools to plan capacity, model what-if scenarios, identify and eliminate scheduling bottlenecks, and ensure that raw materials are available at the right time. Multi-level fixed, variable and batch bills of material, as well as co and by-product bills are catered for.
Besides enabling you to easily extract regular KPI, financial and operational information in a variety of formats, SYSPRO's integrated nature and powerful analysis tools mean you can easily gain visibility to related information across your business on multiple dimensions. They provide the means to identify possible market trends, as well as cross-selling and value-added service opportunities that can help you grow your business. Whether you need to provide customers, suppliers and executive management with professional reports via the internet, or operational staff with decision-support data, SYSPRO's analysis tools give you the flexibility you need.
