Engineering Scott and Baldwin Ltd scottbaldwin It was easy to get CaliachMRP underway and has proved solid and effective in scheduling our production activities. Our days are significantly more productive and will increasingly be so as we develop history. Martin Scott, Managing Director, Scott and Baldwin Ltd. Scott and Baldwin are contract machinists who operate a mixture of CNC and manual machine tools. They have a mixture of high and low volume work. A loyal customer base leads to 75% repeat business. The management needed a system to provide production scheduling and help administration. They had no prior experience of MRP or ERP. New jobs must be defined with a simple BoM and complex process route when customer orders are received and often before quotation. With only one day of training, shop floor scheduling was fully implemented within a month. Purchasing and costing features are extensively exploited.
