MIS Group Assignment Project Proposal

The high-speed automatic SMT lines at the D-Link (India) plants at Goa are

highly flexible and versatile. This enables the company to make changes in the

product mix as per market demands at a fast pace and meet stringent deliveryschedules. Sophisticated Surface Mount Technology provides an important

advantage to D-Link (India) and its customers. The production efficiency and

resulting quality is virtually certain. These advanced processes also allow D-Link

(India) to deliver higher volume of products more quickly than other competing

manufacturers. To increase the core equity and future capability of the

Company, D-Link (India) has continually invested in sophisticated

manufacturing and testing equipment.

D-Link (India) has a nationwide network infrastructure of 16 offices, 20 territory

distributors, 300 dealers and 3000 resellers along with 3 overseas distributors in

SAARC countries providing active sales and service support.

D-Links commitment to world-class quality, design, development,

manufacturing and marketing remains the hallmark of the Company.

Today, D-Link is a brand with maximum visibility and penetration in its market

segment in India. It has a strong and distinct brand image in networking,

internetworking and structured cabling products.

INFORMATION SYSTEM ALREADY IN OPERATION: (OPTIONAL, ONLY IF IS

IS PREEXISTING)

The company utilizes Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which is a

ORACLE based system.

ERP delivers a single database that contains all data for the software modules,

which would include:

Management, Quality Control, Cost Management, Manufacturing Process,

Manufacturing Projects, Manufacturing Flow

2. Supply Chain Management

2. Order tracking from acceptance through fulfillment

3. The revenue cycle from invoice through cash receipt

4. Managing interdependencies of complex Bill of Materials

5. Tracking the 3-way match between Purchase orders (what was

ordered), Inventory receipts (what arrived), and Costing (what the

vendor invoiced)6. The Accounting for all of these tasks, tracking the Revenue, Cost and

Profit on a granular level.

Shortcomings:

1. Customization of the ERP software is limited.

2. Re-engineering of business processes to fit the "industry standard"

prescribed by the ERP system may lead to a loss of competitive

advantage.

3. ERP systems can be very expensive

4. ERPs are often seen as too rigid and too difficult to adapt to the

specific workflow and business process of some companiesthis is

cited as one of the main causes of their failure.

5. Many of the integrated links need high accuracy in other applications

to work effectively. A company can achieve minimum standards, thenover time "dirty data" will reduce the reliability of some applications.

6. Once a system is established, switching costs are very high for any one

of the partners (reducing flexibility and strategic control at the

corporate level).

7. The blurring of company boundaries can cause problems in

accountability, lines of responsibility, and employee morale.

8. Resistance in sharing sensitive internal information between

departments can reduce the effectiveness of the software.

9. Some large organizations may have multiple departments with

separate, independent resources, missions, chains-of-command, etc,

and consolidation into a single enterprise may yield limited benefits.

10. The system may be too complex measured against the actual needs

of the customer.

VARIOUS PROCESSES INVOLVED:

1. Marketing: This department seeks to study the demand ion the market

and forecast further demand based on their present statistics and

strategies and inform the Engineering department of the same so that

development can be made accordingly.

2. Engineering Department (R & D): This department undertakes

research and development of new products.

3. Planning Department: The planning department prepares purchase

orders of the quantity and the type of material to be purchased

depending upon the amount of material present in stock and the quantity

to be purchased. This intent is sent to the procurement department.

4. Procurement: This department purchases the material given by the

planning department in the purchase intent and sends it to Vendors and

procures the material from the most economical vendor available in the

market. This information is conveyed to the finance department, which

pays, and asses need for the material purchased.

5. Quality Inspection: This department checks the quality of material

coming inside factory for production and sends the material to production

department after accepting it. If the material is rejected it goes back to

the vendor.

6. Production Planning: This department prepares the daily scheduling

and route sheets on the basis of which production activities are carried

out on the steel components. A material requisition form is given by theproduction department to this department and after approval from

planning department can only it fetch the material from the raw yard and

bring it to the shop floor for production.

7. Inspection of Finished Materials: The finished goods are made

available to the quality assurance and systems for final inspection and

clearance.

goods and sends it to the relevant departments.

9. Shipping& Payment: The billable lot of the finished goods is sent to the

client and final payment is received within a period of 6 months to the
