Q.5
CASE STUDY:
Precision is an established brand in wristwatches and claims
that PWL could achieve this status due to various management
initiatives undertaken to make it an IT-enabled Internet driven
Enterprise. PWL has become more customers centric. In E-
environment we come to know what customer wants and what
changes are taking place in the market. This is possible as we
get online information in real time mode about choice of
product made or expressed by the customer, rate of sale of
products by location, segment and market, and unsuccessful
sale events by reason and so on.
With established communication network PWL, knows
customer preferences, product movements, modifications and
is able to respond faster to customer requirements and
expectations. PWL has four factories at Bangalore, Jammu,
Gurgaon, and Mumbai. Due to networking of all work centers,
sales points, dealers, distributors and use of enterprise business
process application suite. PWL has management information
daily on:-
1. Product Inventory: Brand, Model, Price, and Location
2. Product Sale: Fast Moving and Slow Moving
3. Market: Segment, Areas, and Locations
4. Customer: Preferences, Profile, and Lost Customers
PWL claims that all this is possible due to implementation of
ERP package SAP. The implementation goal of SAP ERP was
to:
? Make information access available to all concerned.
? Provide information integrity for all users.
? Integration of complete supply chain.
? Reduce inventory of watches, and know at all sales
point 'Where is what?'
With ERP implementation, IT is an integral part of the
enterprise making it E-business enterprise. Management of
PWL is able to handle efficiently dispersed, disparate and
heterogeneous customer preferences. Management is able to
compete in a dynamic wrist watch market where competition
from gray market and international brands is very strong.
Using IT-enabled applications Internet technologies
integration of supply chain is a challenge. To boost these
strategic initiatives PWL implemented B2B solutions to
leverage Internet for order handling, configuring, tracking, and
delivering. PWL is also thinking of implementation of Radio
Frequency Identification Device (RFID) technology, as it
believes RFID is the technology of the future and is more
efficient for handling variety of watches and high value of
