How a Leading Manufacturer Enhanced Production Efficiency Using Power Apps

Meet Our Client

The client is a leading manufacturing company based in India, specializing in producing various industrial products. As the company scaled, it faced challenges related to operational inefficiencies in their production process.

Business Challenges

The client experienced inefficiencies in their production environment, primarily due to manual data entry by operators. These operators were responsible for manually inputting and posting production orders in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (F&O). This process was time-consuming, prone to errors, and led to delayed production updates.

Key challenges included:

  • Operators manually inputting production orders.
  • Manual posting of production journals after completing production tasks.
  • Lack of automation, leading to delays and inefficiencies in data entry and production order processing.

Enter CodeValue

Our team developed a custom solution using Power Apps to streamline the production process and reduce manual input.

Key Features of Our Solution:

  • Customized Power App for Operators:
  1. A custom Power App was developed to replace manual production order entry. Operators can now complete their tasks and enter production details directly into the app.
  2. The app allows operators to input data such as completed quantities and other production-related details in real-time.
  • Seamless Integration with Dynamics 365 F&O:
  1. The Power App is fully integrated with Dynamics 365 F&O, ensuring that data entered by operators in the app is automatically transferred to Dynamics.
  2. Once the production data is entered in the app, it triggers the automatic posting of production journals in Dynamics 365, eliminating the need for manual posting.
  • Automated Journal Posting:
  1. Gone are the days of manual journal postings! With our innovative Power Apps, the entire journal posting process is automated, resulting in quicker and more accurate updates within Dynamics 365.

Results:

The implementation of this custom Power App resulted in significant improvements in the client’s production efficiency:

  • Reduction in Manual Data Entry: Operators no longer need to manually input production orders, reducing data entry errors.
  • Automated Workflows: The automation of production journal postings in Dynamics 365 has streamlined the process, saving time and increasing overall productivity.
  • Improved Data Accuracy: By eliminating manual input and automating the journal posting process, the accuracy of production data has improved significantly.
  • Faster Production Updates: Real-time data entry and automatic journal postings have sped up the production process, allowing for timely updates and reducing delays.

Conclusion:

By integrating a custom Power App with Dynamics 365, we helped our client overcome operational inefficiencies. They transformed their production process, leading to improved efficiency and a happier workforce. If you’re struggling with manual processes, a Power App could be the solution you need.
