Mr. Blue CEO of a ERP developer company
Mr. Blue’s company is mainly engaged in developing commercial ERP solutions, the management team have more than 20 years of experience in the software industry.
He received a request from a Zhangzhou company, who produce and process for “one of the only existed Japanese traditional bamboo sword ( called Shinai) families in the world”.
The Japanese bamboo sword must be hand finished and can never be put in commercial production lines, only for better protection of traditional crafts and spirit of Japanese shinai making.
Workers of this factory are very professional artisans, with decades experience in crafting, but just like most craftsmen, they do not like and use the computer. All production schedule can only copy by hand billing.
Then comes the problems:
1. Handwritten billing is low efficiency and bad effect.
2. Information collection and files management are time-consuming and laborious.
3. The work transition cycle is long, capacity is wasted in the accumulation.
4. Complicate wage settlement, hard to record and calculate working time, pieces and overtime working
5. Process situation can’t be recorded and checked until the final warehouse registration.
6. Workers reject the use of intelligent equipment because it’s complicate and they don’t want to cost time to learn it.
How Mr. Blue solve all these problems and at the same time continue their traditional hand craft?
