As Ferromatik Milacron India is fast becoming a global company, it faces competition from other manufacturers in India and China. The company felt the need to resolve the problem areas that could be hindering the company's growth. Its main problem is that the existing ERP system is not able to meet the current business requirements.

And as the company relied on a patchwork of independent legacy systems, there were different sources for getting information, that leads to data analysis and reporting getting delayed as the data is manually obtained. Price is a main challenge in the manufacturing industry, and giving a quote to customers has become a tedious process with no proper product costing method in place. Moreover, without a seamless flow of data from different modules, the information about inventory value, material price, production costs, etc. were not available readily, leading to inaccuracy of cost calculation for the machines.

With the implementation of JD Edwards as the ERP solution, Ferromatik has been able to resolve the issues they faced. Earlier the activities from planning to production, accounting, sales and finance were not integrated. Now the business processes are seamlessly integrated, and with data management being done online, information about finished goods etc. is available even to the sales personnel across the country in real time. They intend to implement CRM and BI within the existing system in future.
