KTT – IT forum on informatical developments in the last two years

Two of our colleagues – Soma Füzi, IT specialist and Péter Farkas, process developer – gave a presentation to our employees about the informatical developments of the last 2 years, where we started from, where we have come to and what developments are expected in the next period. All this was illustrated not in the language of IT, but with everyday examples to make it clear to everyone how much work is involved in the systemisation of about 20,000 products, of which nearly 5,000 are our own products.

Of course, we don't manufacture all products at once, but our tools, machines and range of materials allow us to think in such a broad spectrum and also to consider products that we can potentially manufacture. For example, we can produce a sim ring in 5 different materials x approx. 400 sim ring sizes x 2 (with and without dust cover) = 4000 sim ring types.
In the first part of the presentation, Soma Füzi presented systems that are partly in operation and partly under development, which – after a minimum of learning – will make production and inventory management tasks much easier. One example is the order picking system, which tracks the sales process from order receipt to delivery. The production tracking system provides up-to-date information on whether production processes are running at the right pace in a particular part of the production process, allowing flexible and well thought-out management of staff schedules and tasks.
The data received should be organised and visualised and it should be ensured that everyone has access to the information they need. Power BI has been introduced to help you do this. And for data storage, we have started to migrate to SharePoint.
Of course, in order to make these systems work, so that our employees can provide data on the right tools and interfaces, we have had to and still have to expand our IT machinery, as we learned from Soma Füzi's presentation.

In the second half of the forum, Péter Farkas' telling presentation – "SAP – buzzword or tool?" – tried to present in detail our bogey corporate management system, which is still the "bogeyman" for many people, and to bring it closer to the employees with illustrative examples. He talked about the fact that SAP is also the basis of the now popular systems presented by his colleague, and it is also the background for our own webshop and the data we share with various commercial sites.. So, if you are filling it up with sensible and accurate data, this system is definitely a help.

Today, increasingly sophisticated IT solutions, process tracking and analysis methods make it possible to reduce the time needed to collect and analyse the information needed for a management decision to a few minutes, even in cases that used to take several hours. SAP Business One, Power BI, Webshop, Production Tracking enhancements – all increasingly powerful tools for the business.
