PT Pancamitra Packindo

Challenge
Production management
Based in Jakarta, PT Pancamitra Packindo
specialises in packaging products and
services. Since it was founded in 1991,
the company has grown to become a major
producer of corrugated cardboard boxes
and other packaging.
Until recently, PT Pancamitra Packindo’s
systemtomanageproductionrequired
manual processes, with only a low level of
computerisation, and was not integrated with
other departments. As a result, the company
founditdiculttocopewiththedemandsof
its customers and to grow its business.
Faced by a competitive market and constant
pressure to reduce costs, the company
looked for a fully integrated management
system that would handle its production.
Having reviewed the available options in the
market, PT Pancamitra Packindo chose a
system based around the CPS (Corrugated
Packaging Solution)/Enterprise software
from HP’s partner Prestige Atlantic Asia,
which runs on HP hardware at the company’s
Jakarta factory.
“We were looking for a supplier that provided
consistentquality,andtheabilitytorespond
quickly,”saysFrancoAgung,ITmanagerat
PT Pancamitra Packindo. “HP and Prestige
mettheserequirements,andoeredus
thebestaftersalessupportavailable.”
Thecompanydenedtherequirementsof
what it needed in the new infrastructure and
reviewed proposals from several companies,
including IBM, before choosing a solution
from H P.
Solution
Specialised software
CPS/Enterprise is an integrated enterprise
resource planning (ERP) software that
PrestigeAtlantichasspecicallydeveloped
for corrugated carton manufacturing.
This specialism means that CPS/Enterprise
can meet the particular needs of the
packaging industry, and provide the
exibility,responsivenessandcontrol
requiredtohandlefast-changing
customer demands.
“We chose CPS/Enterprise because it is
comprehensive software that helps us a lot,
particularlywithourproductionprocesses,”
says Agung. “CPS/Enterprise is a very good
product, and it enables us to do some
processes that we weren’t able to do before
– for example, our accounting processes and
production systems are now fully integrated,
whenbeforetheywereseparate.”
As a full end-to-end solution, the CPS system
enables PT Pancamitra Packindo to manage
and track each order throughout its factory.
This includes handling the estimation,
quotation,order,planning,manufacturing,
inventory,logistics,andqualitycontrol,aswell
astheaccountingandnancialaspects.
To run the CPS software, HP has supplied
an HP Integrity rx2800 i4 Server, which uses
the HP-UX 11iv3 operating system. Backup
is provided by an HP Storage DAT 160 Tape
Drive, while an HP UPS R1500VA ensures
continuous operation in the event of a
power failure.
