Global Aluminium Case Study on ERP Implementation

This case study details the operational challenges faced by Global Aluminium, a company specializing in aluminium extrusion since 1996. The organization struggled with a lack of real-time visibility across production lines, inventory, and shop floor activities, relying on end-of-day reports that were often inaccurate due to manual data entry errors. The fragmented tracking of materials and production processes led to reactive planning, scheduling delays, and difficulties in cost tracking. To address these issues, Global Aluminium implemented the Lighthouse ERP solution, which integrated various operational modules into a single platform. This provided real-time tracking, automated production planning, and centralized management of orders and dispatch. The results included significant improvements in production planning accuracy, inventory management, and overall operational efficiency, enabling the company to make informed, data-driven decisions. The case study highlights the transformative impact of the ERP system on Global Aluminium's manufacturing operations.
