About CAPTAB BIOTEC UNIT II

About CAPTAB BIOTEC UNIT II

CAPTAB BIOTEC UNIT II operates from Solan and builds adhesives for export buyers. As a medium-scale chemicals unit running staggered shifts, they work with a mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order model and separate RM and FG stores. They needed a centralised workflow to reduce daily follow-ups and keep commitments predictable.

Challenges

Mixing status was tracked via WhatsApp-based follow-ups, so WIP clarity broke during extended shifts during peak weeks.

Solvents shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on speciality blends. when multiple orders overlapped.

Dispatch dates were dispatched before checks for COA readiness, causing reshuffles (bulk dispatch at month-end).

Workcentre progress captured at source

Earlier, CAPTAB BIOTEC UNIT II relied on whiteboard planning and calls to confirm reaction 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 two shifts.

Materials linked to live orders

Earlier, buying for additives 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 pigment blends, 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.

Dispatch readiness checks

Dispatch readiness checks

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on batch record discipline. 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 export buyers.
