About Allied Iron Products Pvt. Ltd

About Allied Iron Products Pvt. Ltd

Allied Iron Products Pvt. Ltd operates from Bardhaman and builds sub-assemblies for project-based customers. As a small-scale engineering unit running two shifts, they work with a make-to-stock model and single stores. They needed a centralised workflow to reduce daily follow-ups and keep commitments predictable.

Challenges

Job Planning status was shared via Excel-based plan, so WIP clarity broke during single shift.

Tools shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on tooling components.

Dispatch dates were cleared before checks for outside processing, causing reshuffles (vendor billing cut-off rush).

WIP visibility without chasing

Earlier, Allied Iron Products Pvt. Ltd relied on WhatsApp-based follow-ups and calls to confirm inspection 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.

Materials linked to live orders

Earlier, buying for raw bars 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 material handling units, 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 job-site plus main warehouse.

Dispatch readiness checks

Dispatch readiness checks

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on custom job tracking. 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-order model and distributors.
