Software's success

07 January 2014

In the short time since Killala Precision Components in Ireland was acquired by a brother and sister partnership, the company has invested in PSL Datatrack production management and business administration software.

 

This interrogates information recorded from the shopfloor and uses it to inform other areas of the system including order entry, purchase orders, stock control and deliveries.  


Datatrack has made significant improvements within the overall context of production machines at Killala.  For example, two of the modules in use are Tool Definitions and Bill of Tools.  Some 70% of the company's work is repeat business and with these modules, once the job is defined and the process layout set, the tooling required is automatically selected, saving time on machine tool set up.


Being able to meet precisely the needs of its customers is central to the company's philosophy for success.  This includes effective communication on deliveries, whether they are ship to stock or on a JIT basis. Within Datatrack, emails can be automatically generated to inform customers when their order has been despatched.
