By usijng electronic work documentation transparency and productivity increase and accounting costs decrease and last but not lease mistakes occur less often.

PANTHEON MT Contains the Following Functionalities:

• Issuing material
• Entering material
• Overview of the materials section of the manufacturing bill of materials in the work order (WO)
• Overview the entered material consumption in the work order
• Entry of finished work
• Entering work
• Overview of operations of the manufacturing bill of materials in the work order (WO)
• Overview of the entered work in the work order (WO)
• Entry of finished work by employees
• Receiving products
• Overview of receiving in the work order (WO)  

• (a form for registration of employees for individual operations) in the following months

ZEUS PANTHEON - Analytical Tool and Business Intelligence

The ZEUS modular business intelligence system which is integrated to PANTHEON includes reporting, analyses and planning used in specific business functions.

It is intended for directors, analytics, planners and for anyone, who wants a high-performance analytical tool for viewing ongoing processes in a company. Its extreme ease of use allows simple adapting of functions for individual users. The system can be in this way adjusted to meet the needs of director by displaying only key indicators and data. On the other hand it displays more detailed or specific data to the analytic or financing manager..

Example of displayed data (director):

• Reviewed completed work by projects
• How much money is there on account for outstanding or closed items
• Receivables and payables
• Ptojects at some segments
• Monthly work results
  
• Rough figures by debts and claims

The director can in this way view only data that are of importance for him. Details are left for the support personnel. The ZEUS consists of four modules; ZEUS Dashboard, ZEUS Analysis, ZEUS Reports and ZEUS Planning.

Situation prior to the implementation of PANTHEON

• Using a DOS-based product which was provided and implemented by a sole proprietor
• Manually accounting, unlinked data and twice the amount of work
  
• We could not keep track of the increased amount of work using the existing system. A need for a new program, which could provide us with better solutions as well as providing adeqaute classification and quantity of cost centers.

Requirements of the contracting authority

• ERP system
• Up-to-date prgram design
• Compatibility with other systems (applications, Internet,...)
• Program and feature upgrades

Company statement

»Operative results improved significantly after we implemented PANTHEON, in particular, in accounting, that is by 50%. In sales information they improved by 70% and in logistics for 39 %. In future we plan on implementing the manufacturing module (MF edition) and as soon as possible also ZEUS Analyses since we cooperate with numerous subsidiaries where ZEUS Analyses would really make work easier or enable us a more realistic insight of our entire operations.«

Real Example - Niro steel d.o.o.

The company manufactures products from stainless steel which are made from steel plates. Plates get cut to semi-products to be used to create concrete orders, warehouse semi-products and the scrap plates of different sizes are returned to the material warehouse. Each of their products is marked with data on batch and quality of material that is why 100% traceability of materials is required. This was the main decisive reason for purchasing PANTHEON software package. They are present on European and American markets and smaller way also on the markets of ex-Yugoslavia.

Situation before the implementaion of Pantheona

• The company was using a DOS-based application using which they could not cover all the business processes in the company;
• Lack of appropriate ERP system support for business processes;
• Keeping the manufacturing series at a minumum or even decreasing them;
• Around 85% of the products was unique - appearing only once;
• Sudden increase of production in smaller series;
• Increased semi-products on stock;
• Quick growth in prices of material and disrupted relationship between work and material in sales price structure;
• Increase in the number of customers and a subsequent need for various approaches in creating pricelists;
• A demand for monitoring material from input to output (ISO 9001:2000,  an authorization for stamping with TÜV Bayern Sachsen 1996 ).

The requirments of the contracting authority

• The company Niro Steel sought a comprehensive ERP system:
  • Modifications in business processes and establishing of optimization
  • Adequate business information support for use in business processes
  • Quality support following the implementation of the product

Situation following the implementation of Pantheona

• The company adapted to customer requirements: respond time, delivery deadlines and price (calculation of the price for own poducts,keeping sales prices or portion of material displayed in the structure of price at the sales stage);
• Ensuring flexibility in making quick changes to pricelists as well as their adapting to the quality of materials, alloys used and work needed;
• Having an impact on controlling direct company costs and variable cost using ERP system;
• With a more transparent materials management the ratio of material on stock turnover increased and subsequently decreased the tying up of funds with semi-products (control over materials on stock and semi-products, monitoring material used in creating of a product in connection with attested supplier materials);
  
• By using a comprehensive ERP system the company management obtains information used in reporting as well as the information required for growth and development of the company and is in this way more competitive on the markets; reports for the needs of company and external partners (country, banks, owners...).
• The employees can make use of their creativity in work as well as have more time at hand for cooperation.

Company statement

»In the beginning we adapted the materials management part of our operations so that a fully-functional system for materials tracking, monitoring of stock and reservations of materials were ensured. We have adapted our scheme so that now almost all processes - from calculations, offers, orders, documentation reports, materials management, invoicing, financial transactions and employee files – with which we manage work and operations are covered by the program. As a consequence the number of people employed in the so-called administration department has dropped to a minimum and tracking of material flows was optimized which subsequently brought about decreasing of in stock by at least 20%. Here I could add that we had an audit from the side of one of our more demanding customer in Germany who constantly checks its suppliers. After seeing the PANTHEON software package in action, they said that this surely is one of the best applications coming from this field seen so far ( materials section)«.
