intellectual property of David Lipschitz. Modules include: ODSpin, ODWeave, ODSales, ODWarehouse, ODPlan, ODInvoice, ODUserPriv Objectives of Presentation • Show you some of my capabilities • Help you decide if you need my services
Experience Gained • To reduce errors, each process needs its own unique program • because of this, a background OLAP (on- line analytical processing) transaction file system is required to facilitate an increase in the speed of reporting
Major Problems Solved (4) • multiple products per warp • multiple finishes per warp • cutting a fabric into pieces & tracking • bar code printing using serial communications (different printers programmed) • scanning using keyboard wedge devices and Psion Workabouts (remote scanning).
“Factory Dictionary” • As part of the training of users and the development of the system, a dictionary of terms showing the jargon of the factory was created. This “factory dictionary” or nomenclature facilitates a common ground in order to accommodate clear and precise communication between users, management and developers.
InfoQuest • InfoQuest is a search facility written by Orbital Decisions. It creates queries in an English like manner that are easily understood by end-users.
Computerised Processes (2) • Deliveries (continued): – manage discrepancies between ordered and received quantities – allow multiple deliveries for an order – manage breakdown of totals • total delivery • pallet totals • box / carton / bale totals
Computerised Processes (3) • Warehouse To/From Spinning Factory: – issue to factory (to any stage of production!) – receive from factory (at any stage of production!) – create fibre lot numbers – create yarn lot numbers – issue raw materials and yarn to factory – receive raw materials, processed raw materials and yarn from factory
Textile System Costs • all the systems are available excluding or including source code • separate module quotes available on request • implementation assistance is available • programming is available • maintenance contracts can be arranged
Consultancy • David Lipschitz is available on a consultancy basis to help with: – implementation – problem solving – stock control, tracking and accuracy projects – reporting, OLAP & data mining – other textile factory and stock control computer problems
Knowledge Transfer • In all our projects we will: – 1) transfer knowledge from ourselves to you (our clients); – 2) create processes and systems that allow you to work without us; – 3) when writing software, write it so that it is: maintainable, expandable, understandable; – 4) when training you, ensure that each individual has a foundation in place so that you can "work without getting stuck”.
Database ERD’s • Raw materials, purchasing and spinning factory ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) • weaving factory system ERD • despatch ERD • planning ERD • to purchase these ERD’s you must first sign a written non-disclosure agreement and pay a fee
Database Structure (DDL) • In order to get a copy of the DDL (database definition language) including tables, triggers, stored procedures, exceptions, primary keys, foreign keys, views, generators and any other database components, you must first sign a non- disclosure agreement and pay a fee (ERD’s included)
System Forms • In order to view the forms in a presentation of the 6 applications, you need to first sign a non-disclosure agreement and pay a fee • there are ~ 197 forms in the applications • you may view the forms free by organising a system presentation • you may purchase the source for the forms and programs at: Please email david@mypowerstation.biz
List of Reports • There are ~ 308 ReportSmith® reports in the applications • the list of reports is attached • you may view samples of the reports for a fee or free by organising a presentation • report source code is available for a fee
Source Code • The source code is available in the following circumstances – client decides to do on-site maintenance themselves – a software company decides to take on maintenance and development of the system for their own country (or State in the USA) • source code is not transferable even if your company is sold to another company
Demonstrations • System demonstrations can be provided on site in Cape Town. • If you wish us to do a presentation at your site, the following terms apply: – payment of disbursements, eg travel, accommodation – payment of a daily rate if travelling outside Cape Town
Maintenance Requirements • “The system must have a zero maintenance requirement on a monthly basis as there will be no technical computer people on hand. This means that the chosen system must manage itself, that the software must be bug free and at the same time easy to maintain.” - David Lipschitz, 1995
System Implementation (7) • enter all orders • enter all raw materials received from suppliers • enter all materials received from factory • enter all yarns • enter all warp and weaving work in progress • enter all fabrics
David Lipschitz BSc (Honours), MBA, Textile Certificate • analysed & designed all aspects of the textile system from purchasing through bar-coded warehouse management, production management, sales order processing, picking and despatching • Programmed a substantial part of the system relying on contractors for components and the visual loom loading system
