Automated Data Collection
Optimizes Thibiant's Enterprise System
KINNELON,
N.J. -(Business Wire)—January 13, 2003 – Sometimes it takes just
one more step to maximize an already smart investment. For Thibiant
International, incorporating RF Express™ for QAD MFG/PROâ
into its new enterprise system made it possible to streamline 1,500 daily
transactions into a seamless flow of real-time data. Eagle Consulting
& Development’s RF Express provides automated data collection and
bar coding exclusively for MFG/PRO users.
"The
need for bar code scanning became evident when we went live with MFG/PRO.
Without an automated data collection system, we still experienced a gap
between the time when transactions occurred and when they were entered
into the system. At times, this backlog could stretch into the next
morning. The lack of visibility into inventory created costly
inefficiencies," said Stella Likhterman, information systems director
for Thibiant. Based in
Chatsworth, Calif., Thibiant is a privately held company that
manufacturing and distributes skin care products.
Eagle
executive vice president of sales and marketing, Bill Paone, explains,
"Thibiant clearly understood that inefficiency is always tied to the
bottom line. Even a two percent increase in inventory accuracy can allow a
company to experience a return on investment within months."
In
addition to improved inventory efficiency, Thibiant enjoyed other
advantages with RF Express for MFG/PRO: Enforced data validation meant
that employees could not enter an incorrect lot number - an essential
feature when complying with FDA regulations. Bar coding also created
employee accountability: Each transaction is recorded immediately,
therefore reconciling errors became as simple as speaking with the person
who handled the product last.
In
addition, Likhterman said, RF Express for MFG/PRO allowed Thibiant to
analyze internal processes -- a factor that smoothed out inefficiencies
and permanently unclogged the 1,500 per-day transaction backlog.
