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.
All their BOMs were prepared in Excel spreadsheets and stored on the server according to a directory system. There was a spreadsheet for every project and stage of the project, which were quite standardized, yet different in some aspects. All in all, production data was scattered in different sources which left too much room for interpretation.
Their main production technology challenges fell into 5 categories: - Managing spreadsheets
- Standardizing engineers' work
- Onboarding engineers
- Planning projects and deliveries
- Managing more complicated projects
- Overall stress levels
