About CERACIN

About CERACIN

CERACIN operates from Vadodara and builds cleaning chemicals for export buyers. As a small-scale chemicals unit running staggered shifts, 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.

Challenges

Qc status was tracked via WhatsApp-based follow-ups, so WIP clarity broke during two shifts.

Solvents shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on cleaning chemicals.

Dispatch dates were dispatched before checks for COA readiness, causing reshuffles (inventory closing pressure).

Stage-wise ownership and handovers

Stage-wise ownership and handovers

Stage-wise ownership and handovers

Earlier, CERACIN relied on planner’s notebook and calls to confirm mixing 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

Shortage list with vendor dates

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 cleaning chemicals, 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 single stores.

Dispatch readiness checks

Dispatch readiness checks

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on COA readiness. 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 OEM customers.
