WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- HandySoft, the leader in
providing business process management (BPM) solutions, announced that
BizFlow(R), its award winning BPM platform, was chosen by Austins Marmon
Limited to optimize and improve the efficiency of their product development
and order fulfillment processes.
"Austins Marmon Ltd (AML), which based in Hong Kong, joins Avon Cosmetics,
CITIC Industrial Bank, Johnson & Johnson, Olympus, Pfizer and Samsung in using
BizFlow(R) for streamlining business processes, improving operational
efficiency and enhancing management visibility." said Linus Chow, Director of
International Operations for HandySoft, "BizFlow(R) is a proven technology
producing significant return on investment (ROI) for our customers worldwide.
Being one of the world's largest OEM gloves manufacturers; AML produces
work, fashion and sports gloves for multiple global brands. A fast turnaround
time for product development, procurement, order fulfillment processes and
production management is critical. On-time delivery to meet customers'
expectations is the core competency allowing AML to stay on the forefront of
the glove manufacturing industry. Enhancing visibility into tracking and
managing daily routine jobs are the main business drivers.
"Our cargo (materials, semi-products and final products) and information
flow within the supply chain and logistics management areas involved large
amounts of paper documents. Each document has to traverse over numerous nodes
across various geographic locations, requiring modifications, data
verification, and approval signatures. A document would normally take 3 days
to be signed by more than 10 people significantly delaying the shipment of the
physical cargo. The information flow was running far behind the cargo flow.
Changes in technical requirements or material usage would increase the
completion time even more. Low visibility in our critical processes resulted
in increased business risks." said Eden Wong, IT Manager for AML.
"We have conducted a global search for a BPM tool that is powerful enough
to be easily adopted and fit different user requirements. It also should be a
tool flexible enough to be used for a multitude of different business
processes and which can be deployed within a short time frame. After a
detailed market research and management review, we found BizFlow(R) is the
best qualified BPM product to meet our requirements." Mr. Wong continued.
"BizFlow has been used to automate the product development process, which
is tightly integrated with our ERP system. Within this process we have
focused on materials control and warehouse management, involving order
management, production requirements, purchase authorization and procurement,
prototyping, stock receipts, inspections, picking and issuing. Working
together with Suntrend Technology, Handysoft's local partner, we have made
good progress on the project and we can see encouraging results in the early
stages, with an initial 50% cycle time reduction of the warehouse process.
Management will have increased visibility on the order status, critical paths,
and cycle times through BizFlow(R) at the end of the year." Wong further
commented.
"Our customers are meeting challenges in decreasing the time to market for
their shorter life-cycle products. Using BizFlow(R) will enable us to help
our customers meet these challenges. To start automating processes, which
will have an immediate positive effect on our productivity, will give us
enough confidence and ROI to proceed with BPM technology in our organization.
Initially the most ROI will be gained from eliminating paper processes.
Future areas where BizFlow(R) will be used are internal job scheduling,
logistics management, B2B enhancements with vendors and factories, etc. We
expect BizFlow(R) to be our enterprise solution for automating all our
business processes." Wong concluded.
