Two workflows, one connected platform
The manufacturing heart and the sales journey, side by side. Click any stage to walk through exactly what happens at that step.
The manufacturing heart
Machining & Press
Turned and milled parts, stampings, die-castings and forgings run against per-part routings, with standard times, first-piece approval and tool-life tracking.
Stage 1 of 5Per-part routings
Standard times set for every operation.
First-piece approval
Sign-off before the batch runs.
Tool / die life & OEE
Downtime captured live for OEE.
Surface treatment
Heat-treatment, plating, phosphating, e-coating and painting, in-house or job-worked, are tracked and checked before parts feed assembly.
Stage 2 of 5Process parameters
Bath, temp and time to spec.
Job-work challan
ITC-04 tracked for outsourced work.
Coating inspection
Thickness and adhesion checked.
Assembly
Sub-assembly, fastening to torque spec, poka-yoke checks and marking. The part's lot / serial identity is born here.
Stage 3 of 5Torque & poka-yoke
Error-proofed assembly steps.
Part marking
Laser / dot-peen with QR or DMC.
Lot / serial genesis
Traceable identity assigned.
Inspection & SPC
Gauging, functional test and statistical process control per characteristic; out-of-control trends are flagged live from the shop floor.
Stage 4 of 5Control plan
Characteristics checked to plan.
SPC & Cp/Cpk
Capability tracked in real time.
Rejection / rework
PPM logged, 8D triggered.
PPAP sign-off
Quality approves the lot or holds it. On pass, the work order closes and the parts rejoin billing, ASN and dispatch.
Stage 5 of 5PPAP pack
Records captured to the lot.
Rework loop
Back to the right station.
Handover
Released, then to dispatch.
The RFQ-to-ASN journey
The RFQ lands
An OEM or Tier-1 RFQ, for example a machined bracket, EAU 60,000, auto-creates a lead with customer, part and drawing tagged.
Step 1 of 6Omni-channel capture
Portal, EDI, email, IndiaMART.
Account routing
Auto-assigned to the key-account rep.
Duplicate check
One clean, de-duplicated enquiry.

Tooling & overhead

Part & price
Part master and price agreed.
APQP Blueprint
Nomination to SOP gates.
The schedule drives the plant
OEM delivery schedules and EDI releases flow in, become material and production plans, and pull parts just-in-time / just-in-sequence.
Step 4 of 6EDI release

Kanban

IRN, e-way & ASN
Compliance and ASN in-system.
