Production and job work

12 features
Bills of materials, production orders and work ordersKeep each item's bill of materials with its components and the steps on your machines. A production order reserves the material, lays out the work orders step by step and puts the finished goods into stock at cost.Every planRoles for your team, and operators with a PIN or badgeGive each person in the office a role that shows them only their part of production. List your shop floor operators with a badge code and a PIN: they work on the tablet terminal without a login of their own.Every planSales, purchase and CRM: from lead to goods receivedFollow enquiries through your pipeline, send quotations, take sales orders and invoice them, raise purchase orders and receive the goods into your plant. Every invoice and bill names its plant.Every planJob work: challans out, goods back valued, process loss and billsSend your material to a job worker on a challan and it stays your stock, valued, at their place. What comes back is valued with the job charge. The loss is checked against what the process allows, and the job worker's bill is made from what came back.Every planStock value by stage: raw, made, at job workers, on hold, rejectedSee what your stock is worth as on any date, split by stage. The stages are raw material, made items, material at job workers, quality hold and rejects, and with Growth work in progress. Per plant, item by item, with each item's costing method.Every planPlants on every bill, and the plant summaryRun two or more plants under one GST number and still read each plant's own figures. Every invoice, bill and entry names its plant, and the Plant Summary shows each plant's stock, purchases, sales, margin, expenses and net for a period.Every planOutsourced steps with a challan and a service orderSome steps are done outside, such as plating, heat treatment or painting. For these, the production order makes the challan and the vendor's service order by itself. Send the pieces, receive them back, and the step finishes with the pieces that returned.Scale onlyEstimates priced by quantity, made into the item, BOM and quotationPrice a new job from its material, its steps on your machines, overhead and margin, at each quantity the buyer asks for. Send the estimate as a PDF; when it is won, the item, its bill of materials and the sales quotation are made from it.Scale onlyTools, dies and moulds with their life and serviceKeep each mould, die, jig and fixture with its pieces per shot, its life and its service interval. The right tool is put on each job and its shots are counted when the job finishes. It is flagged for service and near the end of its life.Scale onlyRecipes, potency and batch records signed by two peopleMark a bill of materials as a recipe with its expected yield and batch steps. Each batch gets a batch record, filled as the work is done and verified by a second person. The order closes only when the record is complete. The yield and process loss are kept.Scale onlyEngineer-to-order projects with their own BOMFor machines built to each customer's design, a confirmed sales order opens a project with the order's steps as tasks. It gets its own bill of materials to edit, and a production order released when the BOM step is done.Scale onlyStore requests: sent from stock, or bought only what is missingAnyone asks the store for what they need, for a plant or a department, and says what it is for. Once approved, the store sends what it has and asks purchase to buy only what is missing; the request, purchases and transfers stay tied together.Scale only

Shop floor

5 features
Work in progress value and the cost of rejectsEach open production order shows what is tied up in it. That is components picked so far at cost, and machine and labour time booked at the machines' cost per hour. The WIP list adds them up for the month end, and each order shows the value lost in rejects and scrap.From GrowthThe shop floor terminal: a tablet at each machineA tablet at each machine or station shows its jobs in big tiles. Operators sign in with a PIN or badge, and start and pause jobs. They count good and rejected pieces with a reason, and stop the machine with a reason. Every count goes straight into the order.From GrowthAndon: calls for help and the andon boardAn operator presses Call on the terminal and picks who is needed: a supervisor, maintenance, quality or material. The people of that kind are told at once. The andon board shows every call waiting and being handled, with the minutes it waited and took to fix.From GrowthRework orders from rejects or from stockPieces rejected for rework go through the extra steps you choose, on the same production order, so the time lands on its cost. A lot found bad later is reworked by its own order. Either way you record how many came good again and how many were scrapped.From GrowthPiece rates, skills and earnings, to HRMS payrollSet a rate per good piece for a step, a machine, an item or a category. Every good piece counted on the terminal earns its operator the rate that applies that day. With SmartMy HRMS, the month's earnings go on the payslip as wages for PF, ESI and tax.From Growth

Planning, quality and cost

17 features
Quality checks with sampling (AQL), held lots and non-conformanceCheck material as it comes in, each step on the floor, the finished product and goods going out. Each check has a sheet and a sample worked out from the lot. A failed check holds the lot, raises a non-conformance whose decision is approved, and a Rework decision makes the rework order.From GrowthSupplier quality and certificates of analysisPrint a certificate of analysis for any lot from the checks it passed, with each test, its limits and the measured result. See which suppliers pass and fail your incoming checks, item by item.From GrowthMRP run and the planner's workbenchOne run works out what to make and what to buy for a plant, level by level through your bills of materials. It works from customer orders, open production orders, stock and safety stock. The planner checks each proposal on one workbench and orders it.From GrowthAlternate components and substitutesList the items that can stand in for a component of a bill of materials, with how many replace one and in what order. When a production order is short, one button uses the alternates in stock. The MRP run tells the planner when an alternate could save a purchase.From GrowthStandard cost roll-up from the BOMWork out what each item you make should cost, rolled up level by level. It counts its components, machine and labour time from the bill of materials, and your factory overhead. Keep each standard from a date, and print a cost sheet with office overhead, profit and a suggested price.From GrowthActual cost, variances and the cost sheetWhen a production order is done, its actual cost is worked out and set against the standard cost. It uses the material really used, the machine and labour time really spent and any job charges. The variances show per order and in a monthly report by item.From GrowthPreventive maintenance by days, hours or cyclesEach machine gets maintenance plans that fall due by the calendar, by its running hours or by the pieces it has made. A due plan raises a maintenance request with its checklist and spares, and closing the request costs it and moves the plan on.From GrowthBreakdowns raised from the floor, spares and technician time costedWhen an operator stops a machine at the terminal for a breakdown reason, a repair request opens for that machine at once. The maintenance team is told. The stop time and the repair sit on one record, and the repair is costed in spares and technician time.From GrowthProduction order revisions, comparedBefore you change a confirmed production order, save it as a revision with the reason. Each revision keeps the item, quantity, start date and every component with its planned cost, and compares with the order as it is now.From GrowthRecall list: forward to customers, back to suppliersPick a lot or serial number and see, in one list, every lot made from it and every customer who received them. Or go backwards: every component lot and supplier that went into it. Export the list and call the right customers.From GrowthProduction reports: plan against actual, material against BOM, scrap by reasonThree ready reports for the production manager. What was planned and what was made, by item and month. The material planned and used on orders. What was scrapped, by reason. Each opens as a pivot you can turn, filter and export.From GrowthThe SmartMy Manufacturing appAn Android and iOS app for supervisors, quality inspectors and maintenance technicians. It has today's figures, production orders, machines and jobs, andon calls, quality checks and repairs. Each is shown to the people whose role allows it. Operators keep working on the terminal.From GrowthEngineering changes with approval, BOM versions from a date and where usedA change to an item's components, steps or drawing is raised as an engineering change order. It makes a new version of the bill of materials to edit and goes through approval. It takes over from the date you choose, with the old version kept.Scale onlyAs-built record of a lotPrint a record of exactly how a lot or serial number was made. It has the order and bill of materials, each component with its lot, and each step with its machine and time. It also has the operators, the rejects and the quality checks with their values.Scale onlyCAPA: corrective and preventive actions with five whysWhen a problem keeps coming back, raise a CAPA. Ask why five times, write the root cause, and plan corrective and preventive actions with owners and dates. Have the plan approved, and close it only when you have checked that it worked.Scale onlySPC charts with Cp and CpkDraw a control chart from the measurements your inspectors already record. Every value shows in date order with its control limits and specification limits. Points out of control are marked, a moving range chart sits below, and Cp and Cpk are worked out for you.Scale onlyGauge calibration, and checks that refuse an overdue gaugeKeep every vernier, micrometer, weighing scale and thermometer with its calibration due date, history and certificates. Quality managers get a to-do before a gauge falls due. A check cannot be finished with a gauge that is overdue or out of service.Scale only

Textile and garments

7 features
Textile: fabric data, rolls and style orders by ratioKeep yarn and fabric details on your items and every roll with its metres, kg, shade and dye lot. Take a buyer's style order by colour and size ratio and make one production order per colour and size in one step.From GrowthCutting lay by lay, and bundles with barcode ticketsRecord each lay with its marker, plies and the rolls it used. Cut books the fabric really used onto the colour's production orders and adds the pieces to the style order. It makes bundles with barcode tickets that operators scan at each sewing station.From GrowthProcessing at job workers with shrinkage, shade and weightSend grey fabric or yarn to a dyeing, printing or washing house on a job work challan, naming the roll. Each roll that comes back carries its shade and kg, and the challan shows the shrinkage and any loss above what the process allows.From GrowthCartons and packing listsPack a style order into cartons by a size ratio, colour by colour, from what is cut and not yet packed. Packed adds the pieces to the style order, and the packing list prints with every carton, its sizes and weights.From GrowthLooms and knitting machines: beams, shift production, doffed rollsKeep each loom and knitting machine with its speed, the beams loaded on it and its production per shift with efficiency. Doff a roll from the shift rows and it goes into stock with its yarn used, roll number and metres, with an inspection waiting.Scale only4-point fabric inspectionInspect each roll by the 4-point system: defects with their points and points per 100 square yards. Each gets a grade A, B or Rejected by your limits. A rejected roll is put on quality hold until a quality manager releases it.Scale onlyStyle costing from the marker or GSM, and the SMVCost a style before you take the order. Fabric per piece comes from the marker length or from GSM and area, with waste on top. The making cost comes from the SMV at your cost per minute. Overhead, margin and quantity breaks price it.Scale only

Lines and scheduling

6 features
Assembly lines: operation bulletins, balancing and hourly outputSet up each line with its stations, and write an operation bulletin per item with the SMV of every step. See the bottleneck and line balance at once. Each day's line plan becomes a production order, and the hourly board fills from the shop floor terminal.Scale onlyScheduling board: jobs across machines and daysEvery machine is a row and every day a column, with each job as a bar. Drag a job to move it in time or to an allowed machine. See each day's load against the machine's hours, and replan a machine in one click.Scale onlySetup matrix: jobs ordered for short changeoversGroup items into setup families, such as a colour, a size or a die. Type the minutes it takes to change over from one family to another. By Changeover on the scheduling board then orders a machine's jobs to spend the least time changing over.Scale onlyForecasts from sales historyMake a forecast per item, plant and month from your past deliveries to customers, by average or by trend, or type it by hand. Forecasts feed the master schedule and, above the orders already in, the MRP run.Scale onlyMaster schedule and rough-cut capacityBuild a week-by-week plan of what to make for each item and plant from your forecasts, customer orders and stock. Change the plan where you know better, firm the sure weeks into production orders, and check the load on each machine before you commit.Scale onlyOEE per machine and day, and the machine board on a TVOEE is worked out every hour for each machine and day from its running time and the pieces counted at the terminal. It is split into availability, performance and quality. A machine board on a TV shows every machine as working, stopped or idle.Scale only

Approval chainsDecisions that cost money or change how you build go to the right people in order before they take effect. They cover failed goods, engineering changes, corrective actions, store requests and asset changes. With no set-up the usual managers approve; you add levels without code.From GrowthNotificationsThe right people hear when a machine calls for help, a breakdown is raised or a quality check fails. They also hear when a job work challan is overdue or a request waits for their approval. Job workers get the challan details when material leaves. Email and the in-app inbox need no set-up.Every planSecurity: sign-in log, password rules and two-factor sign-inSee every sign-in try, set password rules, ask for a second factor or a passkey, and limit sign-ins by network, device and hours. Settings can differ per Entity, and every part comes with every plan.Every planDashboardsManufacturing opens on ready dashboards for each role. The supervisor sees what is running and waiting for material, and the planner sees the order book. Job work, quality and maintenance each have their own. Every number is counted for the person looking, and a click opens the records behind it.Every planSeveral entities in one accountRun the firms of your group, such as a machining unit and a separate assembly firm, in one SmartMy Manufacturing account. Each Entity keeps its own plants, orders, job work, settings and books. Your staff switch between the Entities they are allowed in, and the owner sees them together.Every plan
