Digitalization of Selected Processes with a Focus on the Implementation of a Material Tracking and Management System Flows

Workflow and material flow are critical aspects of a company’s operations because they directly influence efficiency, productivity, cost-effectiveness, and overall success. Tracking these aspects is not easy and there are often errors in database entry or storage, especially in the case of reworks. Rework is created in the production process when a product or component fails to meet the required quality standards or specifications. The rework needs to be reworked and then stored to be ready for the next use. The aim of this work is to develop an application to control and monitor material flow for reworks. We analyzed workflows and material flows, what types they are, and what systems are used to manage these flows. This web application was created using C# and also uses SQL Server to read and write rework material data. This application was subsequently deployed at Continental, where its function will be to manage the material flow of the reworks in the production process.
