Uralplastic is one of the leading Russian full-cycle enterprises specializing in the production and sale of flexible polymeric food, non-food and industrial packaging, heat and noise insulation materials from foamed polyethylene and polypropylene. The construction of a new plant for the production of flexible polymer packaging modified with own-produced nanocomposites, as well as plans for the development of the internal infrastructure prompted the management of Uralplastic to need to transfer the functionality of the outdated Microsoft Dynamics AX 3.0 ERP system to the new version of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009.
Anatoly Blyakhman, director of the IT department at Uralplastic, says: “We understood The ERP system should cover all the main processes & nbsp; of our business. Together with Odyssey Consulting Group specialists, we conducted an audit of logistics management processes, contract accounting, materials procurement, and found out that we do not actually use two a third of previously completed modifications of the Microsoft Dynamics AX 3.0 ERP system. In addition, the old version of ERP no longer met our performance requirements, in the end, we decided to switch to a new platform".
The main goals of the project were to increase the transparency and manageability of Uralplastic's key business processes, to obtain a complete, operational and reliable information for decision-making, as well as reducing material and financial costs at the stages of production planning and sales. As a result of the project, implemented by Odyssey Consulting Group specialists, the customer acquired a new, more productive ERP system and additional functionality for managing stocks of raw materials, materials, semi-finished products and finished products.
The project to transfer Uralplastic to a new version of the ERP system lasted about six months. Anatoly Blyakhman, who acted as the project coordinator on the part of the customer, positively assesses the work of the Odyssey Consulting Group team. “Speaking of results, first of all I would like to note that for the users of Uralplastic the migration project to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 was painless. We have brought order in the system of accounting and control of material flows and financial costs, in terms of the purchase of raw materials and materials. Now we clearly understand what we spend money on. In addition, we got the opportunity to install new modifications of this ERP solution, which will provide our business with a number of additional competitive advantages,” he notes.
