Merino Relationship

CSIL management formed a dedicated team headed by Mr. Nitin Pandya (Vice President – Sales and Marketing) and monitored directly by Mr. Paresh Vasani (Managing Director) & Mr. Sharad Shah (Director) for selection of most suitable ERP system for the organization. After going through 4 months of rigorous evaluation process CSIL selected Infor ERP LN as the product to be implemented in CSIL. According to Mr. Paresh Vasani “CSIL took a very comprehensive strategy to evaluate all possible products available in India , starting from products offered by global Mac’s to local Indian vendors.  CSIL formed an evaluation committee with background and experience from various experts within CSIL.  After initial short listing, we invited all product vendors and explained our requirements, gave details about our business flow and expectations from ERP.  We had series of meetings with each vendor and we felt that Infor ERP Ln can deliver what we wanted from product point of view and also from implementation point of view.”

Infor’s long term product strategy, focus on Hi-Tech Electronics vertical and in depth world class solutions for Manufacturing industry were key in factors in selection of Infor ERP Ln.

On Infor’s recommendation, business domain knowledge and strong skills on Infor ERP LN CSIL selected Merino as implementation partner for Infor ERP LN.

Critical Issues Resolved

• Document Management System of PCB Designs & Specifications
  The item is the heart of the product design. A slight change in the item specification calls for a complete redesign of the PCB; therefore, a dire need was to ensure proper approval of specifications, and any need for redesigning. This was done by customization of ERP LN and integrating it with the PCB design software used at CSIL.
  
  The sensitivity of item specification is such that a slight change in the feature of an item used in manufacturing the final product results in the complete product redesigning. By the solution provided by MSL, CSIL could manage the history of a design, and retrieve the original / old data at the click of a mouse for any decisions or further changes.
• Managing change in PCB Design
  Managing the changes in PCB design due to engineering complexities was one of the top priorities, as the same were not completely captured in the legacy systems. Therefore, there was no traceability of changes at various stages when a new specification in the design would be raised even after the production has started. This was a challenge for the company to create a process of defining, authorizing specifications, as well as ensuring execution of the same.

ODM (Change Management Solution) was implemented, which offered management of the process in line with Customer specifications providing real-time control minimizing human discretion and making it process-oriented.
