About CMC MANUFACTURING CO PVT LTD

About CMC MANUFACTURING CO PVT LTD

CMC MANUFACTURING CO PVT LTD operates from Vadodara and builds pigment blends for project-based customers. As a micro-scale chemicals unit running extended shifts during peak weeks, they work with a mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order model and single stores. They needed a centralised workflow to reduce daily follow-ups and keep commitments predictable.

Daily planning with one live view

Daily planning with one live view

Earlier, CMC MANUFACTURING CO PVT LTD relied on WhatsApp-based follow-ups 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 extended shifts during peak weeks.

Requirement-driven buying rhythm

Earlier, buying for resins 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 job-site plus main warehouse.

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on QC holds. 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 project-based customers. especially during peak weeks.
