Quality containment improves material tracking

Shanghai General Motors has implemented Apriso's Flexnet for Quality Containment to improve tracking of materials across production, reduce the cost of quality and increase manufacturing efficiency.

With Flexnet, SGM has integrated quality containment across manufacturing operations, helping to provide global visibility and control over production and logistics processes to complement other SGM Powertrain systems, while integrating with its SAP ERP system.

The quality-containment system accurately identifies and contains product in the event of a quality problem - from production through Work-in-Process to minimise associated costs and prevent out-of-spec products from being sent to customers.

Order information is retrieved from SAP and automatically updated in SAP as materials, product count or order status changes; resulting in avoidance of manual data entry errors.

SGM's Flexnet Machine Integrator has been leveraged to centrally manage SGM's production machines through a web-based user interface.

Adjustments can be performed from remote locations.
