Run your moulding shop by machine, mould and shift.
In a plastics unit, output depends on the machine, the mould, its cavities and the cycle time, and a good part of the material comes back as runners and rejects. Kreon has a product for this trade, Plastic Manufacturing ERP, for injection, blow and extrusion units. It gives moulds and regrind a proper place, so material accounts tally.
The details generic software gets wrong.
Moulds are assets
A mould has cavities, a shot life and a maintenance schedule. Generic software has nowhere to record any of it.
Regrind goes missing
Runners and rejects are ground and reused. If regrind is not weighed back into stock, granule consumption never matches production.
Pieces and kilos
You buy granules by weight and sell by piece. Expected output must be worked out both ways to catch overweight parts and short counts.
Changeovers cost hours
Every mould and colour change stops the machine. Planning must group jobs so changeovers are few and dark colours follow light.

Questions, answered.
Does it suit a small unit with a few machines?
Yes. The basics are the same at any size: shift production entry by machine and mould, material issue by recipe, regrind and dispatch. Planning, costing and mould maintenance can be added when you are ready.
Can it handle both own products and job work moulding?
Yes. Your own range runs on your material and is sold to dealers. Job work runs on the customer's material and mould, kept as their stock, and you bill only the moulding charges.
Does it cover extrusion, where output is in metres or kilos?
Yes. Extrusion and blow moulding are recorded by machine and shift, with output in the unit that fits: kilos, metres or pieces. Scrap and start-up waste are weighed back the same way as runners.
Which Kreon products fit plastics?
