De Graafstroom is an independent dairy company that produces Gouda cheese in a
region known as the Green Heart of the Netherlands a rural area located between Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam. De Graafstroom is committed to producing high quality cheese with a perfectly balanced moisture, fat, protein and salt content. As the fundamental ingredient (milk) is a natural product, the variance in its characteristics must be proactively regulated right from the very start of production through to the end product. Use of QIS De Graafstroom uses QIS as a company-wide resource to monitor production. Right from the very first step in the production process, information is continually gathered and analysed in order to actively reduce the variances in subsequent stages of production. Firstly, QIS helps operators to manage the production process. The data enables them to take immediate action in response to the natural variance and to react to other causes of variance inherent to any manufacturing process. Secondly, the large volumes of data in QIS are also tremendously valuable after the production process. The analysis options provide the basis for further improvements in quality and productivity (Overall Equipment Effectiveness/OEE), and data relating to De Graafstrooms CSR objective is also visible. Development of QIS Since its implementation in 2004 De Graafstroom has stepped up its commitment to quality by fully integrating its ERP, MES and QIS information systems. QIS now plays a business-critical role in data collection, the supply of relevant real-time information for quality control purposes, and continuous improvement. All logistically relevant information is gathered from the production process in QIS and subsequently forwarded by QIS ProcessLink* to Infor M3. Results QIS supports the efficient manufacture of cheese with a reliable and consistently high quality. It significantly reduces the impact of downtime, waste and CO2 emissions. Nowadays, virtually all production processes are managed in QIS, allowing an integrated data flow between the MES, QIS and Infor M3. The result: efficiency and control. Thanks to the dedication and united approach of both De Graafstroom and its implementation partners QiSOFT and Alfa-Beta Solutions, the team completed the on-time delivery of a smooth-running business-critical environment with a very high uptime. All the parties involved succeeded in improving the quality and efficiency of production. *ProcessLink contains a library of standardised interfaces.
