OBJECTIVES OF THE

STUDY
SAINT-GOBAIN AT A GLANCE
Facts and figures –
37.8 billion euros of sales.
191,500 employees.
Presence in 64 countries.
14 research centres and 101 development units.
European or world leader in all of its activities.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

There are three types of services that may be employed -

Consulting, Customization, and Support.

It is used to manage internal & external resources, including

tangible assets, financial resources, materials, and human
resources.
•ERP systems are modular, so they don't all need be implemented at once. Implementation can be divided into
various stages, or phase-ins.
•

•The length of the implementations is closely tied to the amount of customization desired.

•To implement ERP systems, companies often seek the help of an ERP vendor or a third-party consulting company.
It helps in achieving
• Better control of inventories
• Improved scheduling
• Productive relationships with
suppliers
 
 
For Design / Engineering:
• Improved design control
• Better quality and quality
control
For Financial and Costing:
• Reduced working capital for
inventory
• Improved cash flow through
quicker deliveries
• Accurate inventory records
GEOMETRICAL
ANALYSIS
 Advantages:

Can be easily erased and changed

Can be zoomed in for more detailed
sections
Can be copied and pasted many
times
Depending on skill, can be neater
Can be quicker
Can be sent to elsewhere quickly
Can be stored in a safe place
Can be checked for measurements by
the computer
 Disadvantages:

If computer problem, all data will be

lost
If not checked properly, the object
created can go very wrong
Can be very expensive
Can be hard to do and handling needs
training
Since not manual, can be slightly
irritating because if not familiar with
technology, it is very hard to insure
exactly what is wanted by the
designer e.g. If wanted something
engraved instead of cut, the line
colour has to be changed into black
instead of red
 carcon
• offers different glazing configurations
to improve thermal comfort
• software to check the influence of a
glazing configuration on thermal
comfort inside the car.
• Simulation service
 parameters
• Environmental factors-Time of the
year, longitude and latitude, date, time,
air temperature etc.
• Driving conditions-Starting
conditions, driving and parking
orientation, car speed etc.
• Vehicle data-Dimensions, glass area
and inclination.
 MAC
• supported by a simulation tool from
Saint-Gobain Sekurit (CARCON )
• Calculations of mathematical model
tested by physical tests.
• It is a virtual testing procedure
 Advantages

• It is a very sophisticated software

package.
• It is a very quick and efficient simulation
service technique.
• It provides specotrophotometric figures
• Risk assessments of thermal shock
breakage are also available
Disadvantages
 PLUS 2D GLASS

• Glass cutting optimization technology.

• This software accepts multiple sheets.
• Accurate estimation of your sheet glass
requirements
• Nesting in blocks and Standard Shape library
• Maximize your glass panel yields and reduce
setup and assembly time
