Case Study: Computer Systems at Vrede Textiles
My Power Station wrote a textile ERP system which was in use at Vrede Textiles in Atlantis, Cape Town, South Africa, until the factory was sold and later closed.
The following is a case study on the system. The objective of this case study is to show you our capabilities
in order for you to see if you wish to either buy the system or ask us to write a dedicated system for your needs
as has happened at other clients. Please go to
What We Do for a list of our other projects.
Vrede Textiles are manufacturers of fabrics for Vertical Blinds,
Roller Blinds, Roman Blinds, Conservatory Blinds, Holland Blinds, Awnings, Umbrellas and Outdoor Furniture fabric.
The purpose of the production management, warehouse management and sales management systems at
Vrede Textiles is fourfold:
- 1) to provide instant information on the status of all stocks at Vrede
Textiles;
- 2) as a result of 1) to provide the means to help with the production
planning at Vrede Textiles so that sales can be increased, lead-times
to the customer reduced, all stocks and work in progress reduced, and
order requirements information for each process and raw materials
improved;
- 3) to provide up to the minute management information;
- 4) to provide next day delivery of fast moving items or delivery within
two weeks on slower moving items or contract orders.
The current system meets all these objectives and is being expanded all the time.

Note: The OLAP Reporting System provides
a single report showing the value of stock. The month end routine takes about 3 hours
and includes 15 reports. This means that after the monthly WIP is taken and entered
which takes about 6 hours, the month end routine is run and the stock and production data
for the month are ready within one day after the month end. If required these
reports can be
run more often, even daily if required. Comprehensive stock taking is not required
anymore and perpetual stock taking is done daily.
