Client reference video SAP Business All-in-One RUGET Hungary Ltd.
Róbert Vizi, RUGET Hungary Ltd., Company Manager Our company, which is the subsidiary of the French Group Ruget, is a Hungarian factory dealing with metal sheet fabrication.
The group has companies in two countries: three in France and one in Hungary, here in Nagykanizsa.
Our company is a medium-size business with 120 employees and two work shifts. Our target revenue for this year is 10.5 million Euros.
We produce sheet metal components, and we only do subcontract work,
which means that our products are manufactured on the basis of our clients’ documents and specifications.
Each year we need to handle and produce 4,000 different references, the annual quantity of which ranges from one to 20,000 pieces.
They include various components, sheet metal cabinet and switch cabinet frames, drawers, doors,
in short every kind of products that are made of sheet metal, and are either painted, welded, assembled or bolted.
Quality is our main focus, so we have two kinds of ISO certifications: ISO 9001 and 14001.
Thereby we guarantee the manufacturing and high quality of our products made for our clients.
In 2009 our company received the title of “Business of the Year” from the local government of Nagykanizsa.
As part of Ruget Group’s fundamental strategy, each subsidiary company works with the SAP system.
Therefore, it was already decided in 2003, the year when Ruget Hungary Ltd. was founded,
that the company would be started up with the SAP system.
Obviously, we needed a setup that would both meet our internal demands
and conform to the Hungarian legal regulations and business processes.
So we wanted to find a reliable partner in Hungary to carry out this task.
It was vital that the partner should have extensive professional experience, expertise, skills and flexibility.
We finally narrowed down our search to HostLogic, a Hungarian SAP Gold Partner.
Our choice was largely motivated by the fact that HostLogic took care not only of the implementation and setting up of the system
but also of its long-term operation within the framework of a hosting service package.
Tamás Major, RUGET Hungary Ltd., ERP System Administrator The most important SAP modules were implemented at Ruget Hungary Ltd
namely, the modules for master data management, production planning,
production scheduling, storage, logistics, purchasing, and controlling.
We are planning to introduce the HR module in the future,
which would definitely be a cornerstone of the assessment of employee performance.
Our company’s central activity is manufacturing, so we put a huge emphasis on production scheduling.
The SAP system is of great help in this,
since the manufacturing orders contain details about the particular points of production
and the components and semi-finished products associated with them.
Besides, machine setting times and reported user times are also recorded in detail.
Thus, from a controlling aspect, it becomes possible to prepare accurate
and detailed lists and analyses about the costs.
It is very important from the point of view of future price calculations,
since we can plan our future according to our clients’ orders on the basis of archaic data.
The most important production document is also printed out from SAP.
This document shows the manufacturing order, the customer, the quantity of order,
the product itself that we have to make, and the detailed list
of all the particular points of production where the product is manufactured.
At the bottom of the sheet we can find the bar code
that is later attached to the component and helps to identify the product.
The graphs you can see here that have been downloaded from SAP
clearly show the performance of the particular points of production
both for the employees and for the management.
We put special emphasis on customer satisfaction and daily scrap.
I work as the company’s SAP administrator
if my colleagues or the users have any question in connection with SAP,
they can turn to me,
and I try to solve their problems on the spot,
on the basis of our own experience with SAP
If I myself have further problems or questions about the system,
I can contact HostLogic, our company’s SAP consultant,
either by phone or through their online customer service.
For Ruget Hungary it was important that we find a consulting company
which provides not only the SAP software maintenance
but also application hosting.
By hosting services I mean the management of SAP data
and the maintenance of SAP servers.
It was vital for us that HostLogic’s own staff took care of these tasks.
At the beginning we were concerned
that being physically far from the premises of HostLogic,
we might be negatively affected by the remote connection
and our SAP system would be slow.
To our greatest satisfaction, we didn’t experience any slowdown or disconnection.
We can do our daily work just as well
as if our SAP servers were stored next to
our internal databases and servers.
As the director of the company, I retrieve
important information on the actual workload of the factory,
customer payments, and cash flow movements from SAP on a daily basis.
Basically I can obtain through SAP each and every piece of information
that is vital for the daily management of the factory.
As we have to handle about 4,000 different products a year
and we need to deliver within ten days of the dates of orders
which we receive without previous notice,
the programming and production scheduling options SAP offers
greatly benefit our company.
Without SAP we would be unable to keep the delivery dates.
I can wholeheartedly recommend SAP even to medium-size companies.
With properly set parameters it can effectively contribute
to the coordination of a complicated manufacturing process.
