Customer

Korea Matheson Specialty Gases is a subsidiary of the US-based Matheson Tri-Gas and a global company affiliated with Japan's Mitsubishi Group. It refines and manufactures ultra-high-purity industrial gases used in semiconductor and display processes, supplying them both domestically and internationally.

BACKGROUND

Implementation Background

In the specialty gas business, cylinder management is fundamentally a matter of quality and safety. That management was scattered across multiple systems.

Ecount, AX 4.0, MIS, and Excel operated separately with insufficient interfaces between systems, making it difficult to provide real-time management information

Back orders, MPS/MRP, and real-time mid-month inventory management were difficult to handle, leaving purchasing, production, and inventory decisions dependent on manual work

Cylinder management functions were duplicated across the ERP, MES, and separate systems, limiting data consistency, upgrades, and maintenance

Needed to link specification data with the ERP and MES to integrate manufacturing, quality, and cylinder operations under a single standard

SCOPE

Implementation Scope

We applied the system from sales through manufacturing execution (MES), and implemented Validation and cylinder management — core to the specialty gas industry — as add-ons.

VALIDATION

Rule-Based Validation Framework Established

We built a structure of rule/event-based pre-monitoring, process control, and post-event alarms, and the system enforces Right Spec, Right Cylinder, Right Date, along with re-export, OOT, FIFO, and dedicated-cylinder conditions.

MES LINK

ERP–MES Connectivity

We connected order intake, planning, work orders, production results, inventory, and shipping — enabling timely visibility into process and inventory status.
