ACCURATE INFORMATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Without accurate information, it is difficult to fully appraise the TRUE cost of manufacturing in areas such as:-
* Downtime
* Reworking due to faults
* Machine and labour costs
* Machine and labour efficiencies
With accurate information, it becomes possible to improve processes that, in turn, reduce downtime and enhances product quality. This enables a reduction in reworking and scrap costs whilst increasing efficiencies. In order to do this, information must be easy and cost effective to collect.
Tel-PARS
Portable Analysis & Reporting System
Developed by Telford Management Services, Tel-PARS is a comprehensive data collection tool, utilising state-of-the-art barcode technology and powerful "Windows" based software designed to record and analyse a wide range of activities, including:-
* Quality Inspection
* Downtime Analysis
* Job Booking/Costing
* Re-Engineering Analysis
With easy to use, portable data capture pens, Tel-PARS enables data to be collected electronically. Collected data is then downloaded to an IBM compatible PC (eliminating the need for manual data entry) where it is collated and analysed. A wide range of reports and charts can then be generated to display the collected information in an easy to understand format using variable analysis parameters. Tel-PARS can be an integral part of TQM or Continuous Improvement Initiatives.
THE BENEFITS
Without accurate information, it is difficult to fully appraise the TRUE cost of manufacturing in areas such as:-
* FAST - data is electronically downloaded giving instant
access to reports.
* REAL TIME - collection of data as events happen giving reliable
results.
* ACCURATE - no manual entry of data required via keyboard.
* FLEXIBLE - Tel-PARS can be used to collect virtually any type
of data.
* PORTABLE - data capture units can be moved betweem
machines or projects.
* SIMPLE - easy to install and implement - no wiring or heavy
resource equipment.
* REPORT GENERATOR - allows the system to grow as requirements
change.
CONCLUSIONS
Tel-PARS is an extremely user-friendly system which eliminates inaccurate manual data collection and input. Tel-PARS also produces extremely flexible reports in windows and is a popular and cost effective system.
If appropriate TMS will use Tel-PARS to collect data during projects commissioned by a client.
