Proposal for Improved Raw Material Tracking Program :: Business Manufacturing

Business requirementsTracking Raw Material and Work in ProcessTo maintain a maximum, cost-efficient aim of raw material as well as lowest costs for production is essential for the production department.oA system which shtup estimate and track the optimum level of raw material reduces the cost for production procedure, oIt must be able to monitor the storage level of raw material and communicate with the public demand for drugs as well.oThe system should also provide a shared database between ECOLI and its suppliers, to shorten the epoch of ordering and delivery raw material.oSince some of the raw materials are intermediate goods buy from suppliers, the system must have a capacity which piece of ass monitor the production procedures and materials suppliers use, to avoid suppliers to charge a higher price.oThe system should have a historical disease database. Since lots of important chemical substance substance materials are extracted from fossil fuel, the company needs to store extra fuel in order to handle disastrous diseases (SARS, bird flu, etc.) base on past times historical trends. This storage strategy can also get rid of the risk of price increasing.oChemical raw material has very grim requirements on surrounding environment. Thus, the system must be able to sort chemical raw material by their characters (temperature, smell, chemical property), to reduce the probability of chemical inter-pollution since they have very strict requirements on surrounding environment.oThe system should records each information of raw material, including the name, purchase date, opened date and expire date, to start the turn over rate and the unnecessary waste of raw material. oThe system should have a function to monitor water theatrical role. Drugs produced with non-sterile water is defective, and must be destroyed because they may already been polluted. Suppliers Selection Suppliers should be carefully selected based on the qualities and prices of the raw materi al as well as their reputation. oAn information system should list all contracted suppliers and their business scopes. If one of supplier couldnt deliver the raw material on time cod to unexpected reasons, the company can contact alternative supplier quickly, and the whole production process wont be delayed. oThe system should records all business transactions between ECOLI and its suppliers. Suppliers who had unethical records (using expensive materials to earn profit) cannot be used again. Quality Control oIn order to shorten the revaluation time on outputs, the system should be able to instantly summarize the inspection results of the testing sample and keep the quality controllers informed of the most updated quality of outputs.
