Visy Beverage announces that it has selected Shopfloor-Online from Lighthouse Systems Ltd as its standard solution throughout its manufacturing plants across Australasia.
Shopfloor-Online will be used for all quality data collection at the plant level and will also provide the centralised corporate reporting that is so essential to the management of the business.
Mr Manek Irani, Divisional Quality Manager for Visy Beverage, says the implementation will be massive.
"The decision process that we undertook was long, complex and far-reaching," he says.
"Our requirements were diverse and needed to be met at a plant and a corporate level, while satisfying a broad set of processes across the different business units."
"We were also being encouraged to find a solution that fitted with our corporate IT strategy where centralised servers are preferred."
Manek says Shopfloor-Online from Lighthouse Systems was selected after some tough scrutiny.
"Not only does Lighthouse have a particularly strong product offering but they also have a proven pedigree in our sectors," he says.
Lighthouse's existing customer base is strong and subsequent reference visits to several of its customers across three continents were enough to convince us that thiswas the right partner to work with.”
Roll out of Shopfloor-Online within the Beverage Division is now underway and is expected to be completed by Dec 2008.
