Life before Eziil Before implementing Eziil BOM, VMT Tehased production procedures were already at a very good level, as they had obtained all the main production certificates (CE, EN 1090-1 EXC3, EN ISO 3834-2, IWE, EN ISO 9606-1, EN ISO 15614-154).
However, most of these procedures were still on paper or in people's heads and in countless spreadsheets. All their BOMs were prepared in Excel spreadsheets and stored on a local server or SharePoint. There was a spreadsheet for every project and stage of the project, which were quite standardized, yet different in accordance to project type and complexity. All in all, production data was scattered in different sources which left too much room for interpretation by engineers, purchase and production.
Their main production technology challenges fell into 5 categories: - Managing BOM information
- Standardizing engineers' work
- Onboarding engineers
- Planning projects and deliveries
- Managing more complicated projects
- Overall stress levels
