Converting Industry:

ERP Client Typology, Converting Industry, International Exchanging Activities, Building Industry

Converting industry deals with very specialised industry segments, such as ERP or specialised ERP selection for, narrow web printing factories and artificial leather coating plants. All activities with our clients deal with various aspects of change management, business reengineering, supply chain management, capacity planning, product configurator, MRPII, system integration, and ABC costing.

Converting industry belongs to the chemical-adhesive sector whose importance is growing on a worldwide basis. Label printing (especially narrow web printing) and artificial leather coating represent the core of this business.

Our clients are Italian or Central European narrow web label manufacturers, or artificial leather coating plants, who operate in Europe, North Africa, and USA, with a customer typology that ranges from food industry multinationals to furniture manufacturers, shoe-making plants, and automotive business units.

Our consulting activity for the converting industry reaches, in most of cases, very specific industrial problems, such as:

  • Prototyping, product configurator, (which for narrow web segment means pre-printing, printing, post-printing process), production planning, and ABC costing

  • A cost and price estimate process very hard to manage due to an increasing number of new production variants, which are defined by the customer (with technical specs being a fundamental component in product prototyping for both artificial leather coating and narrow web printing)

  • Information fragmented into separate databases and Bill of Material sometimes only partially completed (particularly true for narrow web segment where many product information are stored in specialised graphic platforms)

  • ABC costing is needed to determine the profitability of a client, an geographical area, or a product family.

Converting industry can be successfully helped by ERP or specialised ERP. ERP Abbate performs:

  1. Analysis of business requirements and SWOT analysis
  2. New procedures of article & code creation and management of customer-oriented variants
  3. Choice of an Enterprise Resource Planner or specialised ERP, which matches the requirements for the converting industry
  4. Import of all dispersed data in one platform
  5. Customisation of the new system, based upon client's needs.
  6. Choice and customisation of an MRPII and a Capacity Planning System
Converting industry needs specific questions to be answered:
  1. How can I run my pricing estimate process correctly?
  2. How can I make my printing process cost-effective and profitable?
  3. How can I assess customer, area, product family profitability?
  4. How can I link prototyping to cost and price estimate?
We have the expertise and skills to answer these questions!
