At BS&i Mechatronics, we apply customer-specific logistics for production that focuses on flexibility, efficiency and reliability. Using Microsoft Dynamics Business Central as our ERP system, we ensure seamless integration of item management, inventory management, order processing, production control and traceability. This enables us to deliver high-quality and customer-specific custom mechatronic assemblies with an optimal balance between cost control and quality.
Unique customer-specific manufacturing process
Our manufacturing processes are product-specific, enabling us to provide custom solutions that exactly match our customers‘ requirements. This means that each job starts with an analysis of specifications and requirements, so that we can set up a streamlined process to deliver high-quality assemblies. Our logistics are fully equipped to respond flexibly to changing customer demands and product requirements. Customer-specific production logistics are therefore no problem at all.
Efficient and accurate item management
Robust and accurate item management is essential to our operational efficiency. By recording and managing all components and semi-finished products in Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, we can:
- Quickly identify and track needed parts.
- Create automatic links between items and specific customer orders.
- Manage versions and revisions of components so that the correct components are always used.
- Ensure the consistency and quality of purchased and produced materials.
This ensures that each product meets the specified requirements and that material flows are optimized.
Crystallized inventory management
Our inventory management is fully crystallized and closely aligned with production planning. This means that we:
- Apply methods such as Just-in-time (JIT) and Can-Ban inventory management to minimize storage costs.
- Have complete and real-time visibility into our inventory levels.
- Using real-time monitoring to have instant insight into inventory status.
- Continuously inform our customer of stock elevations.
As a result, we guarantee a streamlined production process without unnecessary delays or inefficient stocking.
Structured order processing
Our order processing is done in a structured manner, with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central playing a central role in coordinating incoming orders, production planning and deliveries. This offers the following advantages:
- Fully automated order capture and processing.
- Quick confirmation of deposited orders.
- Direct link to material requirement planning and production capacity.
- Complete transparency in order status and delivery progress.
- Reduction of manual errors and faster turnaround times.
This systematic approach allows us to guarantee our customers fast and reliable deliveries.
Structured production control
Our production logistics are set up for structured production control, generating and setting up a specific assembly order for each customer order. This is supported by Microsoft Dynamics Business Central. This enables us to:
- Generate automated assembly orders based on submitted orders.
- Enable real-time tracking of production progress.
- Generate all necessary assembly documents such as the assembly order, assembly instructions, assembly log, packaging and labeling instructions and customer-specific documents.
- Traceability to be set up when desired.
This allows us to efficiently fulfill both single piece and serial production orders without compromising on quality and delivery time.
Traceability of serial numbers and production experiences
Traceability is an essential part of logistics for medical device assembly, for example. Our process is set up to perform this customer-specific by:
- Be able to trace manufactured parts and finished products down to the serial number level.
- Track used materials and parts by batch number or serial number.
- Record production experiences and test results and link them to specific serial numbers so that we can monitor quality and performance.
- Implement quality improvements Based on historical production data.
This enables us to meet the highest standards of quality and compliance.
Order- and production-driven purchasing
A streamlined procurement process is crucial for efficient production logistics. At BS&i Mechatronics, we employ an order- and production-driven purchasing strategy, where we:
- Generate purchase orders based on production planning and material requirements.
- Select suppliers based on reliability, price and delivery time.
- Conduct continuous monitoring to ensure delivery reliability and quality.
- Create direct links between purchasing, inventory and production so that materials are always available in a timely manner.
This allows us to minimize delivery risks and achieve a smooth flow in our production process.
Conclusion
The applied logistics at BS&i Mechatronics are fully integrated and optimized to enable efficient, flexible and high-quality production. By using Microsoft Dynamics Business Central as our ERP system, we have full control over item management, inventory management, order processing, production control and traceability. This enables us to deliver customized customer-specific solutions with a focus on reliability, quality and fast turnaround times.
Through this systematic approach, we guarantee a streamlined production process that meets the highest industry standards.
