Buffet Crampon : towards a single international information ERP system
All the countries in which Buffet Crampon operated had a different ERP. And almost all of these solutions were obsolete. It was therefore an opportunity to initiate a change of ERP, for France as well as Germany, Japan and the United States.
What is the scope? Purchasing, sales, production, stock management and accounting.
Buffet Crampon's challenges
Centralising data
Cantralising data across different countries and from one department to another. To be able to find the right information at any time, wherever you are.
Standardising processes
Using the same tool in all countries where the company is implanted and standardizing processes in every department concerned.
The fact that we have the same ERP system across the group means that we can be consistent when it comes to coding items".
Xavier Mondon, Microsoft Dynamics AX Coordinator, Buffet Crampon
Buffet Crampon' benefits with Dynamics AX
Reporting
Consistency of the information used to produce statistics and reports for the group and for all the company's departments. It facilitates strategic decision-making.
Reducing inventory discrepancies
Structuring items according to bills of material and product ranges means that inventory discrepancies can be greatly reduced.
Supply chain process automation
Replenishment used to be based on safety stocks and depended on supplier lead times. It is now controlled and automated thanks to a system that generates order requirements from suppliers based on sales forecasts.
An ergonomic, modern, high-performance tool
"Before switching to Dynamics AX, we had a different ERP in each country and almost all of these ERPs were obsolete and really very old.
We decided to initiate an ERP changeover for all the countries and also to integrate a large part of the company's departments: purchasing, sales, accounting and stock management." said Xavier Mondon, Microsoft Dynamics AX coordinator, at Buffet Crampon.
This makes it a major project with an impact on the Group's future.
