Enhance Productivity by Adopting Application Packaging and Manufacturing Executi

Posted by AmandaTom on December 10th, 2012

Even though we have now moved to laptops and tablets big time the importance of desktops is still there and will continue to be there. As time goes by, we will see more emphasis on various desktop applications and their deployment and security. Application packaging can help in the deployment of various software applications across desktops and other computers. And while the packaging happens, manufacturing can become more robust thanks to proven manufacturing execution system.

Deal with a professional partner for application packaging and you get a solution where the entire packaging is done keeping in mind the adopted processes and standards. It is an overall lifecycle management that happens for application packaging that may include all of the elements mentioned below.

There is a team that handles shared sequencing that includes validation of client provided source, setting up of the sequencing machine, testing and documentation. The manager for application packaging or sequencing delivery is the owner of the manufacturing unit and acts as the highest point of escalation. This manager calls for meetings and reviews them. There is also the shared packaging team that classifies and creates packages and does QA, testing and documentation. And finally there is the dedicated customer layer that is handled by the onsite packaging coordinator who is the SPOC. This SPOC takes care of SLAs and problem resolution.

And while the application packaging work is in flow the manufacturing execution system can fall into place at the same time. Through this system any existing gaps between the control systems and the shop floor can be eliminated. A series of coordinated and synchronized links can be created using this system and this helps in increasing productivity.

There are so many benefits of a manufacturing execution system that any manufacturing unit should adopt them. One of the biggest benefits of these systems is that they can evaluate the performance of the current products on the shelf and then recommend the right ones as per customer requirements. And at the same time transaction throughput using such systems can be enhanced by up to 10 times. A manufacturing execution system makes the production environment much more stable and this helps in reducing maintenance and support costs that can be brought down by up to 45%.

Through manufacturing execution system companies can also optimize their manpower while ensuring that no one is given too much on their plate to handle. Data aggregation can be done automatically and various devices can be accessed remotely. And while all this happens the management can review data and take better decisions.

Technology has contributed heavily to the overall production processes. As computers have now penetrated into each and every element of production the workforce has become more efficient and the management now has better visibility. This augurs well for everyone and in the end the customers are the ones that benefit the most. If you are interested in all this then the adoption of application packaging and manufacturing execution system are must for your manufacturing unit.

Productivity in a manufacturing unit can be drastically improved with the adoption of application packaging and manufacturing execution system.
