About DHANASHREE ENGINEERING

DHANASHREE ENGINEERING is a small engineering manufacturing unit based in Pune. Their day-to-day work involves coordinating orders, material availability, production execution and dispatch commitments. Earlier, updates were shared through a mix of Excel sheets, calls and WhatsApp, which made it hard to keep everyone aligned. By moving to a centralised workflow, the team standardised handovers, reduced rework in reporting, and improved execution predictability.

Challenges

WIP at job worker was invisible, so internal planning was always a guess.

Customer statements took hours to reconcile due to scattered notes and missing debit/credit references.

Shortage was detected only when the supervisor walked the floor, not when planning was done.

Implementation: Centralised workflow with clear owners

Earlier, job-work material movement was tracked in registers and return status was unclear. This broke down on returns; shortages and rate differences led to repeated reconciliations. We implemented a centralised workflow where each order, material requirement and update had a clear owner and timestamp. Material sent out and received back was logged against job-work orders, making shortages visible immediately. Over time, the team built confidence because the numbers matched what they saw on the floor. The practical outcome was that teams stopped re-entering the same data and acted on exceptions early.

Before: Too many moving parts, no single view

Earlier, collections follow-ups were scattered and disputes reopened older invoices. This broke down on part-payments; the receivable view changed daily and escalations increased. We implemented structured stage-wise tracking and checklists so work moved forward only when prerequisites were met. Collections follow-ups moved to a single list with dispute tagging so teams stopped chasing the wrong invoices. The practical outcome was fewer escalations, faster decisions, and dates that changed less often.

Controlling rework through traceability and holds

Earlier, store stock, WIP and finished goods were tracked in separate sheets and message threads. This broke down whenever priorities changed—material looked available, but the line stalled due to bin-level shortages. We implemented a centralised workflow where each order, material requirement and update had a clear owner and timestamp. Supervisors started reviewing shortages at shift start and raised purchase/transfer requests before the line was blocked. It also made owner reviews easier because key exceptions were visible without chasing the team. The practical outcome was that teams stopped re-entering the same data and acted on exceptions early.
