This master's thesis is a part of Origo-project by Konecranes Inc. The objective of Origo-project is to introduce a common enterprise resource planning system and unified item system for the whole company instead of multiple different systems used in different units. The objective of this master's thesis is to go over the operations that must be done in the Hyvinkää gear factory before the new ERP-system and item system can be taken into use. In addition the objective is to explore the possibilities for improving the flow of information between the design department and the production. The term item means all the physical products, parts and components as well as materials and services that are required to be distinguished from each other systematically. This thesis studies the basic structure of an item and the significance of item management in a company. In addition this thesis demonstrates corporate data management processes, different item user groups and information systems used for item management. In the practical part of this thesis the current state of the gear factory item system is presented, the operations to be conducted for the item data are demonstrated and the new item instructions are created. The purpose of the new item instructions is to assure the quality and unity of the item data, because good quality item data can reduce the amount of work used for item management in a production unit. The main objective of this master's thesis was achieved, because the items for gear parts were unified and instructions for creating and maintaining item data were created. The future challenge is introducing the new instructions globally. The second objective was to explore possibilities for improving the flow of information. Because present-day information systems are replaced soon by new systems, the development of present systems was seen irrational. Instead of developing present systems, the decision was made to focus on the implementation of the new systems.
