Carton factory operation management system

A comprehensive operational management system should include at least the following functions:

Sales Management Subsystem

1.1 Customer Profile

1.2 Product Profile

1.3 Product and Process Design

1.4 Sales Order Management

1.5 Production Work Order Processing

1.6 Finished Product Storage Management

1.7 Delivery Management

1.8 Accounts Receivable Management

1.9 Management Execution Information

Purchasing Management System

2.1 Purchase Order Processing

2.2 Raw Paper Storage Management

2.3 Order Paper Dispatch

2.4 Accessories Storage Management

Production Management Subsystem

3.1 Corrugating machine scheduling

3.2 Corrugated machine production data collection

3.3 Printing Machine Production Data Collection

3.4 Die-cutting machine production data collection

3.5 Other machine production data collection

Quality Management Subsystem

4.1 Analysis and Statistics of Causes of Production Scrap

4.2 Quality Analysis and Statistics of Base Paper and Main Raw Materials

4.3 Returns management and causes analysis. At the same time, the operation and management system of the carton factory must be industrialized to reflect the uniqueness of carton manufacturing, such as the rapid response and service of carton manufacturing, ordering, scheduling, and production. If the information transfer and conversion process from the order input to the production schedule to the machine controller can be completed in a matter of minutes, the entire production cycle can be significantly shortened. This uniqueness produces the following requirements:

1) Minimize preparation and time for BOM-Bill Of Materials and Process Routing designs as much as possible: For common MRP/MPRII/ERP software, these tasks usually require several Module to deal with. However, for the packaging industry, especially the corrugated box manufacturing industry, their products and processes are relatively simple. It is best to combine these tasks and complete it in one person in a short time.

2) For the carton manufacturing industry, what is particularly important is how to deal with just-in-time delivery orders, which can effectively arrange and record production, inventory, and delivery. This allows the sales department to see the progress of each order from the computer at any time in order to take early action on events that may deviate from the plan.

3) Scheduling: According to the delivery date of the order, the required materials and production capacity, the actual production capacity, the computer scheduling system will automatically generate a job schedule. The production dispatcher will modify the electronic planning board according to the actual situation of the workshop and urgent orders. A good job schedule can effectively reduce the loss of raw paper, reduce downtime and frequency, and ensure delivery date.

4) Base Paper Management: Unlike general inventory management software, the base paper management system should be specific to the location and production volume of each roll of paper, with automatic conversion between length, weight, and diameter.

Due to these special needs, industry software developed specifically for the carton industry was created, such as CTl, HRMS in the US, KIWIPLAN in New Zealand, and CIM-PACK in Singapore. This type of industry software constitutes the core of the carton enterprise management integrated manufacturing system. It focuses on helping manufacturers increase productivity and provide value-added services to manufacturers.
