Manufacturing tracking system at Hewlett Packard Puerto Rico

This paper describes the process used to design, develop and implement a custom made modular client-server on-line transaction processing and decision support system used at Hewlett Packard Puerto Rico. This system is part of the corporate wide re-engineering effort. The purpose of this system is to enforce that the appropriate manufacturing processes are executed and to provide a container for quality and process data needed for analysis and management decisions including manufacturing performance measurements. The major benefit obtained is to provide a consistent framework to achieve customer quality expectations, shipment integrity, cycle time reductions and throughput increase.
