Starting point:
Sunshine S.A.C. is one of the largest agro-exporters in Peru with more than 1.000 employees and with exports to Europe and the US. They were in need for a production control system for all their production processes that was integrated with SAP being used as their ERP.

Technology:
The solution is developed based on a .Net platform using VB.Net, MS SQL Server 2005 and Visual SourceSafe. The application is tailor-made for the needs of Sunshine and is used in all stages of production; from the goods enter the plant until the packaged goods are ready to ship. It also handles issues like work schedules, campaign planning and transport logistics. In addition necessary control and management reports are easy accessible.

The result:
Sunshine now has full control of their production process and are able to plan and optimize their campaigns with easily accessible information. The application has helped Sunshine to reduce production time within 30%, mainly because of integration with other systems used in the production process and their electronic weight meters allowing workers to focus on the physical control more than writing information.

Integration with SAP:
The application is fully integrated with SAP allowing managers to have on-line information from the production process and comparing it with financial /accounting information giving them a 360° view of their business.
