OVERVIEW
StockBuild is a production-focused ERP implementation designed for a car speedometer manufacturing line.
The project aimed to strengthen inventory control, production planning, and demand forecasting while ensuring uninterrupted production through automated inventory monitoring.
By implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the organization achieved better visibility into material requirements, production schedules, and stock levels across the manufacturing lifecycle.
PROBLEM
Many automotive manufacturing organizations still face challenges such as
The objective was to implement a complete manufacturing ERP solution that improves inventory control, production planning, demand forecasting, and operational visibility while automating critical inventory monitoring processes.
- Manual inventory monitoring leading to delayed shortage identification
- Fragmented production and inventory management across disconnected processes
- Difficulty maintaining accurate BOMs, routings, and material requirements
- Inaccurate demand forecasting and MRP planning
- Risk of raw material shortages causing production delays
- Limited visibility into production schedules and material availability
- Manual low-stock monitoring and notification processes
- Inefficient coordination between production planners, warehouse teams, and management
