The HON company is the Czech leading producer of office furniture and interior accessories. Customers themselves can define the required product (e.g. the shape and dimensions of a bench top) and, subsequently, the atypical product is forwarded for production. Both the bill of manufacturing and technology originate in a specialized product for furniture configuration. The production character is the single-piece one. By introduction of Infor ERP SyteLine, the company reached a significant shift towards improvement in management of all key production processes. The following benefits are among the most important ones:

The actual creation of a complex business information system, i.e. a unified database, which secures integrity and consistency of data used both by the actual system and external applications.

  • Making the information flow of all processes within the frame of the only integrated system solution well-arranged and effective.
  • Detailed monitoring of statuses of particular orders (placement of the order, its processing and dispatch).
  • Planning and management of all larger production volumes with the help of APS.
