SYSPRO helps foundry fire up for future success
A high-end foundry is firing up its manufacturing operation for future success with the help of UK SYSPRO ERP specialist K3 Business Technology Group (K3).
K3 has won a contract to supply a fully integrated SYSPRO Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution to Chamberlin & Hill Castings. It will provide the management tools to give C&H Castings full visibility of its manufacturing operation, delivering a clear view of processes, procedures and costs.
The new system will replace C&H's old enterprise resource planning system and manual spreadsheets.
"With the new SYSPRO ERP system we will get a much clearer view of our business to meet the group-wide target for improved access to management information. K3 has listened carefully to our requirements and is tailoring the new system to meet our needs. This will allow us to see and monitor every area of the business at the touch of a button. We'll have much greater visibility from works order right through to finished product and dispatch," says Mark Hotchin, Financial Director, C&H Castings.
C&H Castings is part of the Chamberlin plc group of companies that specialises in complex iron castings and engineered products to a variety of industries worldwide. The company's products are used by a wide range of customers requiring highly engineered solutions across a number of sectors including rail, defence, hydraulics, automotive and hazardous environments. Chamberlin embarked on a Group-wide review of its system requirements in 2007 and chose K3 to assist in this process.
K3 will configure C&H Castings SYSPRO system to focus on manufacturing and accounting. With SYSPRO in place the company will have even tighter control of its manufacturing process and costs.
"SYSPRO will provide visibility of all jobs within the system, allowing us to align our moulding and melting processes. This is extremely important as any misalignment can result in scrap metal. The new system will also deliver improved inventory management and a clear picture of the materials we require and when they are needed, to assist us with accurate product costing. As an additional benefit, we are expecting SYSPRO to help us expedite estimating and job costing," concludes Mark Hotchin.

SYSPRO streamlines build-to-order process
K3 Business Technology's SYSPRO ERP report-writing capability gives build-to-order manufacturers the planning and scheduling tools they need to maximise efficiency and meet different customer needs.
For example, Boss Design, a UK manufacturer of contract seating, is using SYSPRO's report-writing functionality to revolutionise its shop-floor planning.
This has reduced lead times and wastage.
SYSPRO automatically produces a dispatch log detailing which orders are to be dispatched and on which day.
Working back from this data, the planning reports and work-too lists are produced, which schedules work so that final assembly occurs just one-to-two days prior to an order's dispatch.
With the ability to plan, Boss Design is now moving towards a general four-week lead time, although some standard products do have a two-week turnaround.
The group has also introduced a rapid response, seven-day delivery for key customers.
This is based around another SYSPRO-generated report, which instead of working out dispatch based on geography, works to delivery date; from this, report planners prioritise these orders through production.
Virginia Seaward, head of operations at Boss Design, said: 'By almost eliminating order mistakes and combining this with vastly improved visibility of demand and the ability to effectively schedule work, we have seen lead times come down, there is much less waste - both in terms of manpower and material - and improved customer service is constantly improving, all while still achieving massive growth.'.

COSTA MESA, Calif. - March 25, 2009 -- SYSPRO, a leading, worldwide provider of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software, and Arnel, Orange County's foremost property management company, jointly participated in a ceremony this date to mark the grand opening of SYSPRO's expanded USA corporate headquarters at Costa Mesa's Metro Pointe Business Center. The gala observance, presided over by the Honorable Allan Mansoor, Mayor of Costa Mesa, included a ribbon-cutting, speeches, entertainment and lunch.
Dignitaries present included Mr. George Argyros, former Ambassador to Spain and currently CEO and Chairman of Arnel & Affiliates, and Kevin Hauber, President of Arnel Commercial Properties, who assisted SYSPRO Joey Benadretti, President of SYSPRO USA, and Brian Stein, SYSPRO USA CEO, in cutting the ribbon to SYSPRO's new, state-of-the-art headquarters at 959 South Coast Drive. SYSPRO staff, customers, suppliers and members of the press were among the VIPs enjoying the festivities. The ceremony which followed also commemorated SYSPRO's twenty second year as a major contributor to Orange County's business community. SYSPRO, whose name tops the west office tower in the Metro Pointe Center, opened its offices in Orange County in 1987 and has been a landmark tenant of the Metro Pointe complex since 1997.
In welcoming the several hundred attending, Hauber noted, "The SYSPRO team has the characteristics of their leaders, Joey and Brian. They have created a positive culture by a commitment to their staff and their solid customer base. SYSPRO represents the type of tenant that every landlord likes to have. Their walls are covered with awards and plaques attesting to the fact that they are recognized by their peers as leaders in the industry. They are the best in their class."
Mr. Argyros noted, "Their [SYSPRO] success as global leaders in the production of world class Enterprise Resource Planning software is due to their focus on meeting the needs of their clients."
Mayor Mansoor presented Stein and Benadretti with a proclamation and keys to the city for SYSPRO's contribution to strengthening the economic base of Costa Mesa with "new technologies, innovations and ideas."
Benadretti praised the stimulating Orange County environment and the way it supports business. Alluding to President Obama's rhetoric which includes the phrase "Yes we can," Benadretti passionately declared, "I say we can, and I say we have...our history is a part of our future....to the thousands of people in the SYSPRO eco-system that I pay tribute to today...There's no question we've achieved plenty. While we've won many awards, the proudest moments I can look back on are the little awards...those for customer service and customer retention. I say to all of you, 'we can, and we have,' and we will back it up with our tenacity, our expertise as a company and above all our responsiveness, which goes beyond our community. It's a responsiveness and responsibility for the environment and the whole eco system in which we exist.
"SYSPRO is all about relationships to our customers, and to our staff and to everybody that feeds and touches us at any point, I say 'thank you' again.
"PragmaVision to SYSPRO is not just a marketing concept. SYSPRO is a pragmatic company with a vision. We do everything towards our goals, try to be better at everything we do..being the best we can be.
"We have three significant goals...To increase our sales one hundred percent over the next three years... one hundred percent customer retention...and one hundred percent customer satisfaction. If we can achieve those, we'll be the best in the industry." Benadretti proudly added that while the IT industry has experienced layoffs averaging about 25% to 35%, SYSPRO has never had one and never anticipates having one.
SYSPRO's leading software solution enables small and medium size manufacturers and distributors to lean their operations and successfully compete in their respective industries. SYSPRO worldwide revenues, growing market share and long pedigree of awards are testament to the efficiencies enabled by the firm's software offering. SYSPRO has been cited for the functionality of its software, leading implementation methodology, strong reseller channel and outstanding management. SYSPRO was previously named Software Company of the Year by the Technology Council of Southern California amid a wide range of top industry awards.

"Their efforts in developing the tools and processes that lead cost efficiency and growth initiatives have earned them a place on this year's Provider Pros listing."
SYSPRO offers software technology for Small and Mid-Size Manufacturing and Distributors (SMB) aimed at helping them to compete with the larger companies in their respective industries. The company recently announced a series of six Power Bundles designed to streamline business processes and drive operational efforts that reduce costs and boost profits. Benadretti also took leadership in 2008 to differentiate SYSPRO as a provider of enterprise technology solutions that are both pragmatic, yet visionary. Benadretti calls this unique SYSPRO vision "PragmaVision.".
"PragmaVision to SYSPRO is not just a marketing concept," Benadretti said. "It is indicative of SYSPRO's more thoughtful approach to adopting new technology, such as web services and SOA platforms, mirroring the desires of its buyers who operate with lean manufacturing concepts and best practices. PragmaVision truly exemplifies SYSPRO's ongoing strategy of helping to simplify the success of its customers."Benadretti, a recipient of numerous high impact awards, is heavily involved in industry associations, green initiatives and is a major proponent of helping small businesses use technology to compete. Under Benadretti's leadership, SYSPRO has never experienced an employee layoff and has consistently remained profitable. SYSPRO was recently named a finalist for TechAmerica's "Outstanding Private Technology Company" award and for the Technology Council of Southern California "Software Company of the Year" award.
