CASE STUDY<br />
Integrating manufacturing and distribution<br />
pays off for packaging company Cibapac, one of<br />
the largest manufacturers of PVC stretch film<br />
in <strong>South</strong> Africa, that also holds a major share<br />
of the expanded polystyrene tray market for<br />
fresh produce, meat, poultry and fast foods.<br />
Disjointed processes between the manufacturing<br />
and distribution departments meant that<br />
efficiencies were suffering. Production rosters<br />
and stock levels were not based on accurate<br />
sales forecasts or demand estimates.<br />
A fully integrated SYSPRO ERP solution with<br />
multiple core modules was implemented. As a<br />
result, Cibapac was able to bring its independent<br />
supply chain processes and components<br />
into one seamless supply chain. Modules included<br />
financial modules, core distribution<br />
and manufacturing. Improved data tracking,<br />
streamlined inventory management and<br />
accurate accounting practices are just some of<br />
the more noticeable benefits.<br />
