About Artistic Indians

Artistic Indians operates from Ghaziabad and builds machine frames for export buyers. As a medium-scale fabrication unit running single shift, they work with a mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order model and two warehouses. They needed a centralised workflow to reduce daily follow-ups and keep commitments predictable.

Use Cases

Challenges

Bending status was tracked via Excel-based plan, so WIP clarity broke during two shifts.

Pipes shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on brackets.

Dispatch dates were scheduled before checks for fitment issues, causing reshuffles (vendor billing cut-off rush).

Workcentre progress captured at source

Earlier, Artistic Indians relied on planner’s notebook and calls to confirm painting 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 extended shifts during peak weeks.

Requirement-driven buying rhythm

Earlier, buying for angles 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 ducting, 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 job sequencing. 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.
