Inside PSD EXTRUSIONS PVT LTD

PSD EXTRUSIONS PVT LTD is a micro fabrication manufacturing unit based in Kanchipuram. 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

Teams worked off screenshots and old sheets; daily numbers drifted from what the shop floor saw.

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

Batch/lot traceability gaps made it hard to isolate which raw material caused a quality issue.

Before: Too many moving parts, no single view

Earlier, masters and transactions were split across Excel, accounting exports and WhatsApp updates. This broke down at month-end; teams rebuilt the same report multiple times and still debated the numbers. We implemented a centralised workflow where each order, material requirement and update had a clear owner and timestamp. Masters were cleaned once, and daily reporting pulled from the same transactions instead of manual consolidation. 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.

Controlling rework through traceability and holds

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 single system of record connecting sales, purchase, production and dispatch so everyone worked off the same status. Material sent out and received back was logged against job-work orders, making shortages visible immediately. For fabrication operations in Kanchipuram, this reduced dependence on a single person for updates. The practical outcome was smoother handovers between departments and more predictable daily execution.

Implementation: Centralised workflow with clear owners

Earlier, QC holds and rework notes were kept on paper and were not visible to planning. This broke down during rejections; without traceability, isolating root cause took days and blocked dispatch. We implemented a centralised workflow where each order, material requirement and update had a clear owner and timestamp. QC marked holds against lots, and planners saw only cleared stock as available for production. The practical outcome was smoother handovers between departments and more predictable daily execution.
