About CHAKR INNOVATION PRIVATE LIMITED

CHAKR INNOVATION PRIVATE LIMITED operates from Pune and builds brackets for OEM customers. As a micro-scale auto ancillary 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.

Earlier, CHAKR INNOVATION PRIVATE LIMITED relied on whiteboard planning and calls to confirm grinding 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.

Shortage list with vendor dates

Earlier, buying for coolant 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 brackets, 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.

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on rejection/rework loops. 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 project-based customers. especially during peak weeks.
