SaaS & PaaS role in Manufacturing Industries

SaaS- Software as a Service: It is a type of model where a software is delivered as a license on a subscription basis. SaaS became a common delivery model for many business applications, including office software, messaging software, payroll processing software, DBMS software, management software, CAD software, development software, gamification, virtualization, accounting, collaboration, customer relationship management (CRM), management information systems (MIS), enterprise resource planning (ERP), invoicing, field service management, human resource management (HRM), talent acquisition, learning management systems, content management (CM), geographic information systems (GIS), and service desk management.



Some of the examples in manufacturing industries are CAD softwares for desiging & detailing of drawings, CRM software, ERP, Office Suites etc. for building a better interdepartmental communication. These softwares have some or the other way has helped manufacturing industries in planning & execution of projects, reducing manufacturing errors and ultimately the raw material scrap to a an extend.

PaaS-Platform as a Service: It is a type of model where the softwares are programed & managed on cloud. This model actually don’t need any on premise hardware & software for using the application. Building and running on-premises applications is complex, expensive, and slow. Each on-premises applications require hardware, an operating system, a database, servers etc. PaaS actually helps eliminate the expense of buying, configuring, and managing all the hardware and software needed to run applications.

We all witnessing the technological upgrades happening around us & have been making our lives easier. We are seeing lot of enterprise applications have already started adapting to the PaaS model. The industries like CAD, Office suites, MIS, CRM & ERP has started moving towards the cloud platforms like Azure, AWS etc. This actually ensures the access of data from anywhere around the world with minimum IT infrastructure. The manufacturing industries adapting to PaaS would be actually be able to access their documents like latest revision of manufacturing drawings , or let’s say Bill Of Materials of any machine or can monitor the progress of the different projects wherever required without any interruption & with full data security.

3D CAD-SAP/ERP Integration

In todays age more than 80% of Machine building MSMEs (SMEs) have some kind of ERP & PDM/PLM system in place for a smooth communication between the major stack holders. Also for easy planning & execution of any given projects.                   Lets first of all understand the way any machine building OEM works.                   Any project begins with a basic RFQ (Request For Quotation) , wherein the Sales/Marketing team shares the requirement & specifications to all the important stake holders of the organization. The major stack holders apart from Sales/Marketing are Engineering, Store, Planning, Production, Quality, Purchase, Logistics & Service . Each department quotes the required time of execution from their respective end with respect to the requirements or specifications. For example Engineering shares the time required for preparing & releasing the manufacturing drawings & Bill Of Materials from the date of receiving the Purchase Order. Planning

Manufacturing & Purchase Lead Time

Image
Production, Planning & Control process involves raw material inventory management, raising a purchase request in case of shortage of raw material , & planning of new or upcoming projects. When we plan the project lead time of manufacturing & purchase items plays a very crucial role. Every manufacturing component has its own manufacturing lead time like let's say if we release of component manufacturing drawing today it may take 3 days time to get fabricated or manufactured some other may take as long as 2 weeks or 3 weeks time. Similarly let's say if we raise a purchase request for a particular Bought Out Part it may get delivered in 4 weeks time or 6 weeks time.  For a smooth manufacturing process we need to ensure the long lead items are planned first , average lead time components next & least lead time at the end. For the effective planning & execution process BOM Creator helps you categories the manufacturing/hardware/BOP items as High/Medium/Low . The
