Master Data Maintenance

Type of Industry:

Production of medical products

Company:

SME

Duration:

11 Months / 56 Days

Company Targets:

Creating and updating master data to form a basis for an optimum production (parts lists, working instructions, process sequences, etc.), production control and for optimum logistics (supermarket dimensioning, etc.); more detailed and transparent cost structure per product and reevaluation of the current product range

Results:

Master data is current and covers all products and their variants; standards for mnemonic part numbers are established and implemented; master data reflects the correct process sequences, incl. different possible process sequences per product (parameter dependent process selection); standards for implementation of new products and changes to existing products are established and include the related master data maintenance; a detailed and transparent cost structure per product is available

Status quo (outlined):

  • Due to the company’s history, there is no knowledge about the full product range and most of the parts lists are not existent or outdated.
  • The performance of the production, logistics and purchasing department are mainly based on experienced employees. Standards and workflows are not defined.
  • Product related costs and cost structures are largely unknown.

Actions planned by the company:

Creating consistent and up-to-date master data, especially in respect to products, part numbers and parts lists.

Master plan by SYNCRO EXPERTS:

Analyzation of the existing data, actual process sequences per product and the processes of every product type including parts used and their quantity. Development of a unified nomenclature standard for part numbers of purchased parts, intermediate products and final products. Creation of new master data, primarily in respect to products, part numbers and parts lists. Implementation of new standards and processes for maintaining the master data current and consistent.

Approach:

  • Analyzation of the existing data
  • Collecting data to show and categorize the full product range
  • Analyzation of the production processes of the different product series and the related products
  • Definition of nomenclature standards for part numbers of purchased parts, intermediate products and final products
  • Analyzation of the production processes in detail, definition of specific part numbers, creation of the respective parts lists and working instructions
  • Definition of processes to maintain master data integrity and currency

Results:

Consistent and up-to-date master data

Standards and processes for maintaining high quality master data are established.

Product and production related costs and cost structures are known.

A basis for calculating warehouse, supermarket and other logistic related parameters is established.
