Gilard Application Programmers: The Arrival of Manufacturing Intelligence with OSM

CIO Vendor Overcoming the challenge of making company-wide manufacturing operations and business processes easy to implement and standardized is one of the major priorities for manufacturing enterprises. While adopting digitization and moving towards Smart Manufacturing, they have to align their business strategies and processes with the customers’ expectations and their own growth plans. It has become imperative for them to have accurate, real-time productivity visibility to improve product quality, order accuracy, and customer satisfaction while driving down the manufacturing costs at the plant level.

Helping manufacturing Companies overcome these challenges is Mohali based Gilard Application Programmers LLP (GAP LLP). Established in 2016, GAP LLP has established itself as one of the leading companies in Systems Knowledge for Quality Management and for Software Development in Manufacturing. The company provides a strategically designed solution for enterprises looking to move into Smart Manufacturing. In this endeavour, its flagship product GAP OSM stands out in the forefront.

The Making of the Core
The GAP team understands that hundreds of business processes have to be created in a Company to help the Company sustain and grow. These processes need to be defined, documented, implemented and monitored. These processes also need to be aligned with each other and ensure all lose ends are tied and there is a solution planned for any problem, real or anticipated.

Some of the business processes relate to HR (hiring, interviewing, getting on board, trainings, probation, responsibility and accountability), Quality (Incoming, Outgoing, Patrol, Corrective Actions, Process Capability study, Calibration and MSA ), Product Development (Capability study, Capacity study, Development process, FMEA, Costing, Validation), Sales, Purchase, Accounting, Manufacturing, TPM, Asset management, Visitors management, Legal Compliance etc. GAP OSM (Operating System for Manufacturing) is a software solution that covers all the aspects and all the production and business processes used in the manufacturing industry. It uses a centralized database and



makes relevant data available to all the users across departments. It effectively reduces time to market and enhances flexibility, responding to changing customer needs.
