Aldica Technologies Inventory Management Case Study

This case study outlines the inventory management challenges faced by Aldica Technologies Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of cast aluminum alloy parts for automobiles and motorcycles. The document details the manual processes involved in tracking semi-finished goods, raw materials, and finished products, which led to inaccuracies in procurement and production planning. It describes the difficulties in managing multiple furnace operations and the inefficiencies caused by manual quality inspections. The study also highlights the cumbersome nature of creating die-loading plans and monitoring die life cycles, which impacted product quality and increased downtime. The case study presents the implementation of the CREST ERP system, which enhanced production planning and management by automating sub-contracting processes and providing integrated fixed asset management. This solution improved machine efficiency, streamlined manufacturing processes, and ensured accurate costing of finished goods, addressing the challenges previously faced by Aldica.
