Kiwiplan - Multi-Plant Harmonization
What fields and areas that need to be standardize in ESP and MAP.
This section was put together from the aspect if we were going forward either with one MAP database or Multi-MAP databases scenario.
All plants in one ESP database
Here is a list of fields/lookups that need to be standardized in the ESP database
-
Destination Codes
-
Styles for Descriptions and print outs
-
Stacking Patterns shared with MAP parameters
All countries/states/provinces in a separate MAP Database
Here is a list of fields/lookups that need to be standardized all across the MAP databases
-
Colors
-
Pallet Types
-
Top Board Codes
-
Closure Codes
-
Strapping Codes
-
Stacking Patterns shared with ESP
-
Tab Types
-
Score Types
-
Ink Types

Board Codes
The image below shows how we would setup board codes to be used in MAP. The ESP sales board code would only be seen in ESP for costing and sale purposes. The plant board code would only be seen on the production side and used to produce the item. Depending on the local plant’s available papers the combination would change at every plant. The producing plant’s combination would be setup in the CSC system to have an upgrade downgrade path to the top board code from sale board code.
NOTE: There is currently a limit to 16 upgrade and downgrade paths.
