CHT Achieves 99 Percent Inventory Accuracy

A case study on how Chang Hong Technology (CHT) utilized ETMX to solve its production data issues. Managing Chang Hong internal database of thousands of medical device components through ETMX. ETMX has ultimately led to increased productivity through successfully automating and monitoring bills-of-materials (BOM).

Past Challenge

As a medical Device Manufacturer, Chang Hong, Technology Co., Ltd. (CHT) manufactures large number of medical components on yearly basis. Engineers provide bills-of-materials (BOM) with Procurement lists every day. “Different tooling parts need to be ordered. It has been an ongoing challenge to synchronize hundreds of line items in BOM that meet procurement department’s requirements,” says a Senior Engineer at CHT. “Inaccurate and non-complete inventory list impede our ability to provide customers in a timely manner.”

Component Engineers at CHT manually corrected hundreds of BOM records and sort every additional material before quoting customers or starting the purchasing process. Manually fill BOM in excel was a tedious and inefficient process.

Goal: Reduce BOM Generation Time

ETMX now allows the engineering team at CHT to generate fast and accurate BOM for procurement department.

“Populating and sorting BOM used to take us days to complete depends on complexity level. We’re now able to automatically generate the BOM formats that meet Procurement department requirements,”

said a Mold Design engineer. ”

Thanks to its powerful features, we are able to focus on enhancing mold quality and reducing mold manufacturing cycle.

The Result

Faster Quotes to Customers Yielding New Business Opportunities :

By switching to ETMX, it allows CHT to generate accurate quotes to customers in a significantly smaller time frame than ever before.

Reduced Man-Hours Increase Productivity & Control

ETMX automatically generates accurate BOM, allowing CHT to increase efficiency and improve its time-to-market. The fastest time to generate both procurement list and BOM takes within five minutes. “With ETMX, we no longer manually input all the component information separately. “said R&D engineers.
