In a market that is conditioned by fashion and personal taste of the costumer, it seems natural that there is an increasing demand for customized products and services, adjusted to the needs and tastes of consumers. However, production management based on product modeling can become a set of problems from a simple custom order, due to the large number of variables to be controlled.

The proposal of ERP GPACnx consists of not thinking about the final product, but on all its components, and on each component we try to redefine each one of its processes and subprocesses, and so on, until we can transform what seemed to us a huge problem in small problems. It is a generic attribute reference system that commands the GPACnx, the DYP (Define Your Process) Technology for Modeling Productive Processes.

GPAC is designed to manage and streamline manufacturing processes. It is an Industrial Management Software whose implementation makes possible the modeling of all possible configurations, using only an article code and process. That is, it has the ability to simplify complex processes, making them intelligible to anyone.

Based on the principle of good organization, the process should be defined by the information system, at the time of registration of the budget or order and never in production. The order of manufacture, for example, may reach the factory floor cleaned, provided only with the processes to be performed. In this way, the collaborator will not have to worry about the type of final product that his activity will produce and he will be able to keep the focus on the execution, because this information will be managed internally by the GPAC, as well as the questions of material optimization.

The optimized organization on the factory floor and the provision of accurate data to managers are guaranteed through the integration and traceability of the information at all stages of the operational or productive process. Less documentation and greater control over the process.

GPAC, besides being an ERP (Enterprising Resources Planning) that provides control and planning to all types of industry, can also provide an efficient integrated management in all the stages of the productive process, within each company where it is implemented. The GPAC is a productive control system that can be used as a tool that the more you use the greater your benefit to the institution.

Most of the technologies implemented in ERP are capable of representing the products or services produced by an organization. However, it is rare for these technologies to represent the processes for obtaining these products or services. Even those who do, do so at the costs of excessive hours of labor, thus making the final products/services more expensive.

However, the technology implemented in GPAC is DYP Technology, which was developed with the following objective: if we can model the processes required to execute all our products or services, then we will be able to control the execution of these products or services in full.

Thus, based on the Productive/Operacional Process Modeling Technology and the fact that the GPAC environment has been designed essentially to be practical and functional, GPAC is an ERP that guarantees integration and traceability, besides its ample configuration capacity.

The integration and traceability of the informations in all the stages of the operational or productive process guarantees  an optimized organization in the floor of the factory and, at the same time, the provision of data verified to the managers. In this way, it makes feasible the calculation of industrial costs at all stages of the production process.

The wide configuration and adaptation capacity of the customer’ business model makes GPAC a Technological Tool for modeling productive processes capable of creating and integrated management of the budget for the shipment.

It is normal that in the production process there are a multitude of products, especially in the measuring industry, such as, in the case of the real estate branch, where for each change of dimension or color, a new end product is generated. However, it is a number of productive processes that are significantly less than the number of products or articles. Thus, through the reference, there is in GPAC provided, that we can parameterize these processes according to the intended product or service; we have not only a capacity to model the whole business, but we have been able to do so in useful time.

MediaSis has extensive experience in implementing the GPAC in industries that operate in the under mesure segment. Through our experience, as well as the reports of customers and partners, we can affirm that when shifting the focus to the management of the processes, the GPAC, in addition to providing greater control, also generates time savings, because the wear and tear of concern with the infinity of different products, will be replaced by the practicality of attribute management for processes that are normally repeated and, therefore, already modeled.

Different final products, but that passed through the same productive processes, but with configurable attributes.

With a redefinition of productive processes through the GPAC, is possible to normalize the tasks to be developed, making single projects managed as standard.

In Valongo, a Company that develops software in the area of Production Process Modeling, accepts Trainees from Courses in Industrial Management, Industrial Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Eletronics Engineering and more.

GPAC is an ERP (Enterprising Resources Planning) designed to guarantee the complete integration and traceability of the information to any productive process. Its positive result is due to its ability to configure and adapt to the client’s business model, focusing on modeling any and all operational process. As a result, GPAC is compatible with any Industry Segment.

MediaSis, as well as each of its partners, has already implemented GPAC in a range of widely diversified industries such as Agrifood, Metalomechanics, Timber, Furniture, Construction, Projects, Stones, Services, Molds and Plastics.

Based on the DYP (Define Your Process) Process Modeling Technology that incorporates GPAC, it is possible to implement the theoretical models of production without losing the capacity to flexibilize and change the production model at any stage of the process.

Its flexible structure allows, for example, to create a productive nomenclature that can be applied to several articles in production, reducing implementation time and database maintenance costs whenever layout, article or process changes occur.
