The firm designs and produces solid-state ground-based radar systems, supplying them to a diverse client base that includes a host of organizations in 35 countries around the globe. To date, Blighter has sold over 600 radar systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the company employs around 25 staff in its design house, mostly comprising engineers and product designers. Its trusted subcontractors meet most of Blighter\u2019s manufacturing requirements, so very little assembly is taking place in-house. However, Blighter manages a substantial inventory that it free-issues to its contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the company&#8217;s inception, Blighter managed its workloads and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/bill-of-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bills of materials (BOMs)<\/a> with spreadsheets. A challenging task considering the complexity inherent in radar manufacturing. In 2019, however, the management team concluded that without a robust manufacturing software solution to replace the spreadsheets, Blighter Surveillance Systems would not be able to align the production effort with its expanding market ambitions. Thus, the search for suitable manufacturing software began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multi-level_BOMs_with_up_to_60000_components\"><\/span>Multi-level BOMs with up to 60,000 components<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blighter had been formulating its engineering database and assigning its own part numbers for years. They needed a system that could build on the existing work, while also tracking manufacturing processes and providing visibility on stock movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James Watt, supply chain coordinator for Blighter explains that a BOM for their product can consist of up to 60,000 components. He describes the situation Blighter was facing: \u201cWe needed a system where we could define our own individual part numbers, control revisions, and manage multi-level BOMs. We weren\u2019t looking for something with all the bells and whistles that would take a hundred thousand pounds to implement like SAP. But we still needed a solution for controlling production and the flow of materials through the business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was one of the team\u2019s accountants who came across <a href=\"https:\/\/mrpeasy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MRPeasy<\/a> while looking for an MRP system that would integrate well with the firm\u2019s chosen accounting system, Xero. There were many other systems they checked out, but after starting a trial with MRPeasy, playing around with the software, and uploading some BOMs, it quickly seemed like the right balance between functionality and ease of use at an attractive price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implementation_revealed_a_host_of_useful_functionalities\"><\/span>Implementation revealed a host of useful functionalities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v2\">\n    <p class=\"banner-v2__desc\">Reach a modern level of production control with MRPeasy<\/p>\n    <a class=\"banner-v2__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-event=\"blog_signup_banner_blue\">Try for free<\/a>\n<\/div>\t\t<style>.banner-v2 {\n    float: right;\n    display: flex;\n    flex-direction: column;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    padding: 40px 32px;\n    gap: 16px;\n    width: 356px;\n    height: 205px;\n    background: linear-gradient(199.68deg, #6084E5 13.17%, #5FA7DD 82.1%);\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    margin-left: 12px;\n    margin-bottom: 12px;\n    margin-top: 15px;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 767.98px) {\n    .banner-v2 {\n         width: 100%;\n         height: 173px;\n         margin-bottom: 0;\n         margin-left: 0;\n    }\n}\n\n.single__content p.banner-v2__desc {\n    margin: 0 !important;\n}\n\np.banner-v2__desc {\n    width: 292px;\n    font-style: normal;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 22px;\n    line-height: 29px !important;\n    text-align: center;\n    color: #FFFFFF;\n    margin: 0 !important;\n    order: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link {\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}\n\na.banner-v2__link {\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    width: 181px;\n    height: 51px;\n    padding: 18px 0;\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    background: #003557;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n    text-decoration: none !important;\n    order: 1 !important;\n}\n\n.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    background: white;\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}<\/style>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Implementation of MRPeasy began in Autumn 2020 and at first, different departments had quite different priorities in terms of setting up the system. Watt comments: \u201cFinance wanted a use-case that would best benefit accounting simplicity but production had a different view of how to set up the system. We had a lot of initial negotiations inside the company on how best to go about this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, MRPeasy managed to consolidate everyone\u2019s needs very well. The system perfectly met Blighter\u2019s requirements for capable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/multi-level-bom-indented-bom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-level BOM<\/a> management and enabled a high level of control over inventory movements, all while aligning seamlessly with the accounting team\u2019s requirements. Furthermore, the team also managed to implement many other useful functions like a suitable new part numbers system, user-defined fields, a PDF editor, version and revision control, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial implementation was completed in just under 6 months and Blighter managed it without the aid of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/consultants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">external consultants<\/a>. The task was largely simplified by the software\u2019s professional support team, which generally answered functionality queries within the same working day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For other companies looking to implement the software, James Watt recommends thoroughly setting up the basics before putting the system to work: &#8220;Take the time, if possible, to get things like part numbers, item descriptions, and vendors set up beforehand. Importing large amounts of critical data in hindsight is much more work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Efficiency_gains_bolster_operational_health\"><\/span>Efficiency gains bolster operational health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With MRPeasy properly set up and running, Blighter Surveillance Systems has gained a lot more control over its operations. The largest efficiency gains have come from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/stock-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stock control<\/a> and managing inventory turnover. James Watt shares his insights: \u201cMRPeasy has helped us hugely with controlling the flow of goods and making sure we haven\u2019t got loads of bits sitting around that we don\u2019t know the use of. It has saved us from having too much cash tied up in stock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system has also been a big help with stock counting. Currently, Blighter is still doing quarterly stock counts, but as MRPeasy\u2019s use case expands, the company is moving towards continuous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/inventory-cycle-counting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cycle counting<\/a> that would enable presenting constant and accurate stock figures to the accounts at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Blighter predominantly uses subcontractors for their assembly and manufacturing needs, another game-changer has been managing and tracking transfer orders. James explains: \u201cWe are different from other customers in that we use modified transfer orders for our production. As outside contractors do things on our part, we have to send stuff out to them. But we still own that stock. With MRPeasy, we can issue things to another site but still see the value of stock in our system and have it tracked and controlled. The transfer orders make it more straightforward for contractors to look at our things. Especially the companies that have accreditation and need everything to be displayed on the delivery note. Being able to manage all this within our internal MRP system has been great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, MRPeasy has helped Blighter reach a sophisticated level of control over their manufacturing and stock management. The new system is providing ease of mind in assuring the company\u2019s continued growth without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Continue reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/success-story-tbg-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Test Equipment Producer Gains a New Level of Control with Manufacturing Software<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2015, a few experienced engineers from a reputable technology consultancy firm decided to go it alone and design a novel radar system.
