Production Management

Since 2005 the company has been completely managed by ERP System REKORD. The software allows to plan production, supervise production process and monitor costs.

The system covers all areas within the company: starting from customer’s order, raw material ordering and reception through each single production step in details including all necessary control operations. The process is finished when completely manufactured and controlled product leaves the company to be delivered to the customer. Thank to this ERP System we were able to start cooperation with customers from automotive and railway business having the highest demands regarding their suppliers.

We also use a wide range of Lean Manufacturing tools in order to undergo the process of continuous improvement. Looking for opportunities of innovations is also our pursuit.
