The Challenge

The client's production planning was done in Excel, quality control was paper-based, and inventory counts were performed manually once a month — leading to frequent production stoppages when materials unexpectedly ran out. The disconnect between the shop floor and the management office meant that production delays were discovered only when deadlines were missed, not when they started.

Our Approach

1

Built a production scheduling system that takes customer orders, breaks them into manufacturing steps, allocates resources (machines, operators, materials), and generates optimised daily production plans

2

Developed a real-time shop floor dashboard using IoT sensors on key machines — tracking cycle times, downtime, and output counts automatically without manual data entry

3

Implemented a digital quality control module replacing paper checklists — operators log inspections on tablets, non-conformances trigger automatic alerts, and all quality data is traceable to the specific batch and operator

4

Built an inventory management system with automatic reorder points, supplier lead time tracking, and BOM (Bill of Materials) explosion — ensuring materials are ordered before they run out

5

Created a management dashboard showing real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), production progress vs plan, and quality metrics

6

Integrated with the client's existing accounting system via API for seamless financial reporting

Results

  • Production stoppages due to material shortages dropped from 8 per month to near-zero

  • Quality non-conformance rate reduced by 42% through real-time detection and traceability

  • Production planning time reduced from 2 days per week to 3 hours with automated scheduling

  • Management gained real-time visibility into shop floor operations for the first time in the company's history

  • ROI achieved within 7 months of full deployment
