Aerospace production planning that holds its promise dates
Aerospace planning is hard because lead times are long, quantities are low and every part must arrive on time. Elite Tech runs demand, MRP, capacity and long-lead planning through to shop-floor scheduling on Zoho plus AWS, so material and machines are planned together and the promise date you give a customer is one you can actually keep.

Planning KPIsPlans grounded in real material and machine hours
Elite Tech builds the ERP that plans an aerospace shop end to end, where demand, MRP, capacity and long-lead procurement are one loop, so a promise date is backed by parts on order and machines reserved.
- MRP and MPS that turn demand into dated purchase and work orders.
- Capacity planning so schedules respect real machine and labour hours.
- Long-lead items flagged early so alloys and castings arrive on time.
- Shop-floor scheduling that sequences work orders with realistic dates.
- Exception messages for pull-in, push-out and shortage.
- Live planning dashboards for load, shortages and schedule adherence.

Zoho ERP vs traditional ERP for aerospace & defence manufacturers
A side-by-side look at how a Zoho ERP delivered by Elite Tech compares with legacy and generic ERP software for a Bangalore aerospace & defence manufacturer.

| GST e-invoice & e-way bill | ✓ Built-in, India-native | ✕ Add-on / third-party bolt-on |
| Custom apps | Zoho Creator + custom AWS, you own the code | Costly change requests, vendor-controlled |
| Cloud & mobile | Cloud-native, mobile-first | Often on-premise, desktop-bound |
| Export & compliance docs | ✓ Included | ✕ Rarely available |
| Local support | Team serving Bangalore, in your language | Remote / partner-dependent |
| Scale as you grow | Add users & modules à la carte | Expensive tier jumps |
| Data & lock-in | ✓ Own your data & code | ✕ Proprietary, hard to exit |
Aerospace production planning, questions answered
It is ERP that plans material and capacity together for low-volume, long-lead aerospace work. Demand flows through MRP, capacity and scheduling so promise dates reflect what the shop can actually deliver.
When demand lands, long-lead items such as alloys, castings and forgings are flagged immediately. Purchase orders can be placed early so material is not the reason a programme slips.
Yes. Rough-cut and finite capacity check machine and labour hours against the plan, so work is scheduled where there is genuine capacity rather than assumed.
MRP nets on-hand stock, open orders and BOM demand into time-phased purchase and work orders. Action messages then tell planners exactly what to pull in, push out or expedite.
Yes. Work orders are sequenced and dispatched by work centre, and progress feeds back so the schedule stays honest as jobs move.
Yes. Plans are driven by live BOMs and routings, so material requirements and operations stay aligned whenever the product changes.
Give promise dates you can actually keep
Bring one programme and its lead times. We'll show MRP, capacity and long-lead planning working together, then send a fixed-scope plan.
