Stage-wise ownership and handovers

Stage-wise ownership and handovers

Earlier, CORTEX PRODUCTS SOLUTION PRIVATE LIMITED relied on whiteboard planning and calls to confirm machining 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.

Purchase follow-ups with clarity

Purchase follow-ups with clarity

Earlier, buying for pipes 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 tanks, 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

Promise dates with readiness gates

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on outside job-work. 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 repeat B2B buyers.
