The plastics industry is considered one of the most important industries that have gained significant importance in the recent period, as plastics have become involved in many other industries and thus become an essential element in our daily lives, there is no product without the plastic being one of its components or one of the components involved in its manufacture and producing starting from the plastic bags that involved in the packaging industries, going through the plastic packaging for the products (dairy- juices- medications- cleaning products- ....) as well as the electrical appliance industry, automotive industry, and many other products that need plastic materials to produce them, and because of the increasing demand for the plastic products, the need to set up many plastic factories has increased, as there are many different plastic products such as (plastic bags- packaging- plastic chairs and tables- plastic household appliances.....) and other products, and necessarily there are thousands of factories specializing in the production of one or more plastic products, there are many plastic factories that produce thousands or even millions of the products are produced daily, the plastic manufacturing process is mainly due to converting plastic raw material (polyethylene) into finished products, for the manufacturing to be completed must go through more than one stage starting from melting raw material process (polyethylene- polyvinyl chloride), then the extrusion process and converting the raw material into a liquid material that is withdrawn through a film machine and then the forming process, and this stage is done in more than one way, according to the product to be produced, the production process may be done through (plastic blowing- plastic molding- plastic injection...), then the plastic will be subjected to the cooling process to get the finished product and due to the high volume manufacturing of plastic products, the factory may produce thousands of plastic products per day that need to control the production process and costs because of what these products represent of (raw materials- direct costs- indirect costs), and therefore the factory needs an accounting software capable of managing the production process, calculating the costs and managing the human resources, as well as providing the company’s departments with the reports and information they need to help in the management, control, and decision-making, and we will discuss the role of one of the best plastic manufacturing management software, which is AccFlex ERP Software.
