A valve manufacturing company planned production using a whiteboard-based scheduling system and paper work orders. Material availability was checked manually before production start, and work centre conflicts were discovered only when operators arrived to find equipment already in use. Production efficiency was estimated at 55% due to scheduling conflicts, material shortages, and lack of real-time progress visibility.
PMG Production Orders provided digital work order management with material requirement calculations, work centre scheduling, and real-time progress tracking. The scheduling dashboard showed work centre utilisation and identified conflicts before they occurred. Material requirement planning checked stock availability and triggered procurement alerts for shortages. Operators updated progress from shop floor terminals.
Production efficiency improved from 55% to 78% with systematic scheduling and conflict prevention. Material-related production stoppages decreased by 70% with proactive availability checking. Work centre utilisation improved by 30% with visual scheduling and conflict detection. The company increased output by 25% without adding equipment or headcount.
