Problem Statement

Lack of Production Visibility:
No real-time tracking of work progress in the production line, leading to inefficiencies and order status ambiguity.

Unorganized Workflow Management:
The production process, spanning multiple stages (Cutting Rope, Stitching, Assembly, Stitching Again, Fusion, QC, and Packaging), lacked structured monitoring

Absence of BOQ & SOP:
No standardized Bill of Quantities (BOQ) or Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), leading to material wastage, excess consumption, and production delays.

Manual Employee Tracking:
Employee work tracking was done in Excel, requiring extensive time for monthly consolidation and making wage calculations inefficient

Ineffective Material Utilization:
Excessive or insufficient material cutting resulted in increased costs and decreased operational efficiency.

Research
& Study

50% Increase in Production Efficiency: Real-time tracking streamlined operations and reduced delays.

30% Reduction in Material Wastage: Implementation of BOQ and SOP minimized excessive consumption and cutting errors.

80% Reduction in Manual Work Tracking Effort: Automated tracking eliminated the need for Excel-based manual consolidation.

Improved Workforce Utilization: Employees' productivity was effectively monitored, ensuring fair wage calculations and better resource allocation.

Enhanced Order Management & Customer Satisfaction: Accurate production tracking improved order fulfillment and timely deliveries.

Informed Business Strategy – The availability of accurate forecasting data enabled management to make proactive and strategic business decisions.

Solution

Smart Card System: Employees were provided with smart cards that served as both digital job cards and ID cards.

Automated Tracking via Data Acquisition System: A custom hardware solution was developed to track order progress at each stage. Employees scan a barcode at each stage of production, updating real-time order status and work logs.

Real-Time Work Monitoring: The system tracks production in real time, allowing management to monitor work status across all production stages and optimize resource allocation

SOP & BOQ Implementation: By defining precise material requirements and step-by-step workflows, material wastage was reduced, and production delays were eliminated.

Automated Employee Productivity & Wage Calculation: The barcode system automatically tracks work hours and completed tasks, replacing manual Excel tracking, saving time, and ensuring accurate wage calculations based on output.

Employee Performance Tracking: Integrated analytics that provided insights into employee productivity based on projected vs. actual sales, helping in performance management and workforce optimization
