Challenges:
• Integrated Workflow Management: Managing the entire manufacturing process from raw materials to finished products requires a seamless integration of various modules. The lack of a unified platform may lead to inefficiencies and communication gaps between departments. • Inventory Control: Efficiently tracking and managing inventory, especially with fluctuating stock levels of raw materials and finished products, can be challenging. Any mismanagement might lead to overstocking, stockouts, or production delays. • Complex Manufacturing Process: Handling the intricate details of mattress and sponge production, including the coordination of materials, workforce, and machinery, demands precise scheduling and resource allocation. This complexity can result in bottlenecks or quality control issues. • Human Resources Management: Managing employee data, payroll, attendance, and time-off requests across multiple shifts and departments requires a robust system. Without proper tracking, payroll inaccuracies, scheduling conflicts, and reduced employee satisfaction may occur. • Cost Management: Monitoring and controlling costs associated with procurement, manufacturing, and employee expenses is vital. Inadequate cost control could lead to reduced profitability. • Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that the factory complies with local labor laws and safety regulations is critical. Failure to meet compliance standards may result in legal complications and penalties.
