Thai Footwear Manufacturer Enjoys Cost Savings

Muang Thong Mahachai Co. Ltd, a manufacturer and distributor of footwear in Thailand, has gone live with Infor ERP System 21, which allows the company to automate its key manufacturing and financial processes. The built-in business-specific functionality helps Muang Thong Mahachai to minimize waste while increasing quality and productivity. In addition, the solution will enable the company to manage the style, size and color matrix throughout the production process to minimize the cost of quality. The ability to track attributes and actual lot costs with specification matching and corrective preventive action is also included, further minimizing the cost of quality and compliance. A combination of all these factors has allowed Muang Thong Mahachai to enjoy substantial cost savings. In the first year after using Infor ERP System 21, the company has seen increased efficiency and reduced operational costs of THB 10 Million (300K USD). "We were looking for a vendor who could fulfill two basic criteria: functionality and good service," says Surasak Jinapun, vice president of Muang Thong Mahachai. "Generally, when we compared Infor ERP System 21 to another leading solution, we found Infor's solution better met our needs. Infor had the deep domain expertise that could provide us with the best solution for efficiency improvements."
