Optimizing Manufacturing & Inventory Management for a Leading Fan Manufacturer

A renowned fan manufacturer, producing a diverse range of ceiling, pedestal, exhaust, and table fans, faced challenges in managing material procurement, tracking stock levels, and ensuring efficient material conversion across multiple vendors and warehouses. The complexity of their manufacturing operations required a solution that could streamline material movements, optimize stock levels, and accurately determine material costs while maintaining operational efficiency. 

To address these challenges, our Global Application Development & Support Team designed and implemented a custom on-premises inventory and manufacturing management application using open-source technology and a responsive design for seamless accessibility across multiple devices. 

Solution & Key Features 

  • Automated Procurement & Vendor Coordination – The system efficiently manages raw material procurement and vendor services, ensuring alignment with production schedules, similar to an MRP1 system. 
  • Integrated Financial & Production Planning – By integrating with the client’s core financial management package, we enabled a partial ERP solution, automating key processes such as cost tracking, procurement, and material planning. 
  • Real-Time Inventory & Material Tracking – Implemented RFID technology for real-time tracking of materials and components, eliminating stock discrepancies and improving resource utilization. 

Supply Chain Transparency & Blockchain Integration – Enhanced traceability of fan components from raw materials to finished products, ensuring better quality control and supplier accountability. 

  • Robotics & Automation Integration – Improved precision, reduced production cycle times, and minimized labor costs through enhanced automation capabilities. 
  • E-Commerce & Direct-to-Consumer Enablement – Integrated inventory management with digital sales channels, allowing personalized offerings, faster fulfillment, and better customer insights.
