Testimonial on the implementation of 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2
PIK-Element LLC
PIK-Element LLC is part of PIK Group PJSC and runs assembly-line production of prefabricated bathroom pods for modular housing construction. This approach cuts construction costs and shortens timelines.
The company chose 1C:ERP 2 almost immediately as its ERP system, because it has complex manufacturing operations and complex production planning. The wide availability of 1C specialists and the absence of sanctions risks also worked in favor of 1C software.
Implemented software: 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2
The systems integrator ITB Consulting was selected as the project contractor: a highly professional and reliable partner with unique experience and expertise in automating production, financial, and management accounting on 1C:ERP 2.
In the first phase of the project, work-in-progress (WIP) balances, counterparty settlement balances, and other balances were corrected.
In the next phase, cost calculation for finished products was set up to include indirect costs.
ITB Consulting specialists then automated procurement and logistics. A delivery scheduling mechanism was designed and automated. At certain times warehouse space was tight, so suppliers had to arrive one after another rather than all at once, with only one truck of building materials being unloaded at a time. The mechanism takes the following factors into account:
- production material requirements plan
- minimum material delivery lot
- delivery schedule of each supplier
- limited warehouse space
- inventory minimization
First- and second-line technical support was set up. Tasks are tracked in Redmine. The project is run using the Scrum methodology.
Number of automated workstations: 40
Table 1. Benefits of automation on 1C:ERP 2 for the company
| № | Description of the benefit for the company |
| 1 | Reporting time reduced by minimizing manual work |
| 2 | Unloading time reduced by optimizing and automating supply logistics |
The solution went into full production use in January 2019.
Work is currently under way to improve the production planning and production operations dispatching modules, and budgeting automation has been launched.
We confirm that our company actively uses the implemented software to automate the organization’s workstations.
On behalf of PIK-Element, we thank the ITB Consulting project team for their responsible approach to the tasks at hand, their initiative in developing solutions, and their extensive expertise.
We look forward to continued productive cooperation.
