The Hidden Leakage: How to Track Bins and Trolleys Using Finsys ERP

In high-volume manufacturing sectoars—like Auto Components, Rubber Molding, and Food Processing—Bins, Trolleys, and Crates are the unsung heroes of the shop floor. However, because they are “reusable,” they are often the most poorly tracked assets. Thousands of rupees are lost every year when these bins go missing at vendor sites or during customer dispatches.

Finsys ERP provides a dedicated module for Bins and Trolleys Accounting, ensuring that every reusable asset is tracked with the same precision as your raw materials.

The Challenge: Why Manual Tracking Fails

Most factories treat bins as “consumables” rather than assets. This leads to:

• Unaccounted Losses: Bins sent to vendors for sub-contracting work never return.

• Production Delays: Searching for available trolleys on a disorganized shop floor.

• Customer Disputes: Conflicting counts of crates sent versus crates returned.

The Finsys Solution: Real-Time Asset Monitoring

The video demonstrates how Finsys treats each bin as a unique inventory item:

1. Unique Identification & Barcoding

Every trolley or bin can be assigned a unique ID or Barcode. This allows the system to know exactly where “Trolley #405” is located—whether it’s in the Washing department, the Press Shop, or at a Vendor’s plant.

2. Inter-Unit & Vendor Transfers

When bins are sent out of the gate (e.g., for Job Work), the system records an automated “In-Out” transaction. The vendor’s ledger shows not just the material quantity, but also the number of bins they are currently holding.

3. Return Tracking & Reconciliation

As soon as the empty bins return, a simple scan or entry reconciles the stock. Finsys provides an “Outstanding Bins Report,” allowing managers to follow up with vendors or customers who haven’t returned the assets.

Mastering Production Control: A Guide to Item-wise Stage Mapping in Finsys ERP – Item-wise Stage Mapping Corrugation ERP

In a complex manufacturing environment like Corrugation and Flexible Packaging, every product follows a unique path. Some boxes require 3-color printing and die-cutting, while others may only need simple corrugation and slotting.

To manage this complexity, Finsys ERP offers the Item-wise Stage Mapping module. This feature allows manufacturers to define a “Digital Routing” for every single item code, ensuring the system knows exactly which machine or department the product must visit next.

Why Stage Mapping is Critical for Packaging Plants

Without proper stage mapping, your ERP cannot provide accurate data. Mapping ensures:

• WIP Visibility: Know exactly how many units are at the “Printing” stage versus “Stitching.”

• Accurate Costing: Capture electricity, labor, and overhead costs at each specific workstation.

• Production Planning: The system automatically calculates lead times based on the number of stages mapped.

Key Steps Covered in the Video Tutorial

The video provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the “Stage Mapping Master” in Finsys:

1. Defining the Production Flow

Learn how to select an item and map its sequence of operations—from Corrugation and Pasting to Printing, Slotting, and Stitching.

2. Setting Standard Rates & Times

The tutorial explains how to input standard processing times for each stage. This data is vital for calculating the Standard Costing of the finished box.

3. Machine Allocation

Mapping stages to specific machines or work centers. This helps the PPC (Production Planning and Control) team see the Live Loading on each machine.

Conclusion: Towards a System-Dependent Factory

Item-wise Stage Mapping is the foundation of a Smart Packaging Factory. By moving away from verbal instructions and adopting digital routing, you ensure that your production floor runs like clockwork, even in your absence.
