About Akshar Industries

Akshar Industries operates from Valsad and builds material handling units for project-based customers. As a micro-scale engineering unit running single shift, they work with a make-to-order model and job-site plus main warehouse. They needed a centralised workflow to reduce daily follow-ups and keep commitments predictable.

Challenges

Packing status was updated via planner’s notebook, so WIP clarity broke during single shift.

Bought-Outs shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on sub-assemblies. when multiple orders overlapped.

Dispatch dates were dispatched before checks for custom job tracking, causing reshuffles (month-end GST pressure).

Daily planning with one live view

Earlier, Akshar Industries relied on Excel-based plan and calls to confirm sub-assembly progress. When priorities changed, different teams carried different versions of the plan. A centralised workflow captured stage updates at source, so WIP moved with clear ownership. The daily review shifted from collecting updates to resolving exceptions. Supervisors started closing handovers on time, improving predictability during staggered shifts.

Purchase follow-ups with clarity

Earlier, buying for consumables was triggered after shortages hit the shopfloor. Follow-ups lived in personal reminders, so receipts slipped during busy days. Requirements were linked to live orders and precision parts, creating a daily shortage list. Vendors were followed up against dates, not memory, and approvals became faster. The team reduced emergency purchases and avoided excess on slow movers across separate RM and FG stores.

Promise dates with readiness gates

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on outside processing. Packing, QA clearance, and paperwork were tracked in different places. Readiness gates were added so jobs were released only when documents were complete. Customers got clearer dates, and escalations reduced because holds had visible reasons. Dispatch planning became steadier even with a make-to-stock model and OEM customers.
