Challenges

Inspection status was confirmed via whiteboard planning, so WIP clarity broke during extended shifts during peak weeks.

Raw Bars shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on sub-assemblies.

Dispatch dates were committed before checks for promise-date accuracy, causing reshuffles (bulk dispatch at month-end).

Daily planning with one live view

Earlier, Aplos Ventures Private Limited relied on planner’s notebook and calls to confirm fitment 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 single shift.

Shortage list with vendor dates

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 tooling components, 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. during vendor delays.

Dispatch readiness checks

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 mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order model and distributors.
