Production, stock and dispatch — connected, and honest about itself.
You already know what your factory does. The problem is that no single place knows all of it at once, so every answer has to be assembled from three people and a spreadsheet.
How it runs today, and what changes.
- Stage status lives on a whiteboard and in supervisors' heads
- Material goes out for job work and comes back as a note in a diary
- Cutting can start before the trims have actually arrived
- Rejections are counted at the end, when the shortfall shows up
- Stock on screen and stock in the godown diverge until the next count
- Every order's current stage visible without asking anyone
- Vendor dispatch and receipt recorded with dates and quantities
- A stage that refuses to open until the one before it is complete
- Rejections logged at the stage they happen, so loss is traceable
- Stock that moves when material moves, not at month end
What matters most here
Your actual stages, in your actual order, with each one gated on the last. Not a generic three-step workflow that you then have to interpret.
What went out, to whom, when, how much came back and what was short. The single most common gap we see in manufacturing businesses.
Traceability that survives cutting, so a finished piece still maps back to the lot it came from when a customer raises a quality question months later.
Recorded at the stage it occurs. Shortfall then has a location and a cause rather than appearing as an unexplained difference at dispatch.
The supervisor sees the queue in front of them. The owner sees what is stuck, what ships today and what will be late.
