What is a production management system? Introducing its functions, types, and the benefits for manufacturing companies.

Explaining the introduction process of a production management system divided into three phases: consideration, implementation, and operation.

The "Production Management System," which leads to improved productivity and business operations, requires proper implementation through correct procedures and effective operation. The currently distributed document "Key Points for Successfully Implementing a Production Management System" clearly explains the flow of implementation divided into three phases: "Consideration," "Implementation," and "Operation," detailing what should be done and points to be careful about. [Contents (Excerpt)] ■ Basic Steps for Successful Implementation of a Production Management System <Consideration Phase> What to do from consideration to system selection and vendor decision <Implementation Phase> Repeated simulations with a highly compatible package <Operation Phase> The final phase of system implementation.

• Production Management System

An explanation of how to choose production management systems tailored to each industry: assembly, processing, blending, and fabless companies.

Even when we talk about "production management systems," there are various types depending on the industry, business model, scale, and requirements. There are quite a few companies that, despite investing time and costs to implement these systems, are not able to utilize them effectively. When introducing a production management system, it is important to choose a product that fits your company while considering the challenges you face. The currently distributed document titled "How to Choose a Production Management System by Industry" clearly explains how to select production management systems tailored to representative industry classifications and key points.

• Production Management System

Achieving true end-to-end integration in manufacturing from upstream to downstream through BOM construction for reuse and standardized design - Reuse and Standardized Design Platform.

"80% of product costs are determined at the design stage." "Production Innovation Bom-jin" emphasizes data integration with production management and manages design assets such as drawings and technical information from the design engineering department through a "product ledger." It unifies design rules within the department to achieve standardization and reuse. Additionally, by linking with the production management system "Production Innovation Raijin," it enables true end-to-end integration with the production department, achieving cost reduction, shorter delivery times, and improved production efficiency. This is a tool that supports the construction of "product ledgers" and "bill of materials" focused on parts standardization and production management data integration, streamlining the design engineering department and enhancing the value of deliverables.
