Consumer Goods Manufacturing

Sustaining Rapid Growth with a Global Reach

Orange-Glo International, a provider of household goods and cleaning products. The company was growing very rapidly and needed to address some of its Information Technology infrastructure in order to sustain the growth.

Consumer Goods Manufacturing: Challenges
  • Needed to move from an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for consumer goods manufacturing that constrained growth to one that would sustain it, while still allowing it to function as a lean, virtual organization.
  • Rapid growth put strain on the organization's supply chain.
  • Its large supplier base had to be coordinated to ensure its products were distributed globally in a timely basis.
  • The company also wanted a profit and loss statement by brand and an integrated accounting system.
  • This was a difficult task for a company that operates with twelve legal entities and ten different currencies.
  • Because of its lean business model, scalability and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processing were major issues that had to be addressed.

 

Consumer Goods Manufacturing: Solution
  • Began a multi-phased project by identifying and satisfying some basic internal needs for the company, including enrolling many members in APICS (American Production and Inventory Control Society) classes.
  • The prerequisite education becamea significant contributing factor to the success of the project.

 

Consumer Goods Manufacturing: Results
  • Since the implementation, the organizationoperates more efficiently and maximizes the productivity ofits resources.
  • Over 80% ofits sales volume, from customer order to cash collection, is managed via Electronic Data Interchange.
  • Executives have access to profit and loss statements at the brand level.
  • Continued to grow their business and due to its flexibility and scalability, the Enterprise Resource Planning solution has been able to keep pace the entire way.
