Soluções Integradas de Gestão CAE (Economic Activity Code) 14131 (serial confection of outer garments) Staff: < 250 Turnover: < EUR 50 Million Cases of Success SIG.Têxtil improves management process for Ramiro & Carvalho The SIG.Têxtil implementation, based on the PHC and Manufactor platform, enabled it to accelerate, facilitate and streamline information organisation, internal management and the planning and control of production, resources, stocks and needs for Ramiro & Carvalho. The Challenge Based on its constant modernisation activity in the production, commercial and social areas to ensure a place of note in the textile industry, Ramiro & Carvalho were lacking in greater organisation in the management and control of its manufacturing processes, as a result of its considerable increase in production in the last four years. Ramiro & Carvalho, Lda was founded in 1992. It operates in the textile sector, manufacturing all kinds of garments, such as t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, casual, sports and street wear for men, women and children. The company works with national and international suppliers in order to meet its customers’ requirements. The company’s activity has been governed by the constant modernisation of its production, commercial and social areas, thereby ensuring a top spot among its textile sector partners. It was considered an SME Leader in 2010 by IAPMEI, and later SME Excellence. www.crc.com.pt The company needed to better control all its production workflow and, inherent to this process, the associated resources. The existing software was obsolete and no longer met the needs of Ramiro & Carvalho, and a change was thus inevitable. After searching for various solutions and potential partners, Winsig and the PHC software were recommended and rapidly became an easy choice since they ensured confidence, security, and the coverage that Ramiro & Carvalho considered essential for the success of the project. Solution Para responder às exigências específicas da Ramiro & Carvalho, a Winsig implementou o SIG.Têxtil - uma solução desenvolvida pela Winsig com base na plataforma PHC e Manufactor, para a gestão dos processos produtivos da área têxtil, desde o desenho dos artigos até às encomendas, embalamento e faturação, garantindo um controlo apurado de custos e receitas. A solução é utilizada por todos os colaboradores da empresa ligados ao planeamento, gestão de recursos, gestão de stocks, gestão de fornecedores, gestão de subcontratados e contabilidade. The main features of the new solutions include: Control of subcontracting Control of all information regarding client orders and production Control of supplier orders - Analysis of deadlines specified with the supplier - Quantities ordered versus received - Analysis of defects Automatic generation of consumption and respective costs “During the implementation process, Winsig showed great involvement, providing solutions and developing adaptations to the software in order to facilitate the work of all the users.” SIG.Têxtil is currently being used by all the team without any problems. Winsig was always available to help Ramiro & Carvalho and showed a high level of know-how of our sector and activity, which proved to be critical for the final solution.” Sandra Teixeira, Diretora Financeira na Ramiro & Carvalho Small changes...
