IFS streamlines operations for Porta KMI Poland
Porta KMI Poland, a key player in the woodworking market since 1992, specializes in crafting doors and door frames and has gained prominence as a leader in the domestic woodworking market.
To boost efficiency, Porta replaced its management system with IFS ERP software in 2009. IFS ERP streamlined order processes, from customer requests to manufacturing orders, automating procurement and logistics.
It optimized palletization, enhancing the arrangement of products and intermediate items with similar manufacturing methods. This not only improved logistics but also reduced costs for Porta.
The specific feature of Porta’s plants is mass customization, i.e. delivery of a high number of production orders for very short series of products with varied configuration. Moreover, Porta has several manufacturing plants in various locations, with different configuration methods. As a result, a very high number of transactions are related to order delivery.
