SAS PRESS TECH at a glance

SAS PRESS TECH is a small fabrication manufacturing unit based in Bangalore. 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

Transporter availability was confirmed late, so finished goods piled up near the gate.

QC holds were not reflected in available stock, leading to accidental usage.

Store stock looked fine on paper but production bins were empty when job cards started.

Dispatch readiness built into the daily routine

Earlier, dispatch readiness depended on people coordinating invoice, packing and transporter on calls. This broke down when transporter slots moved; finished goods were ready but paperwork and packing lagged behind. We implemented a single system of record connecting sales, purchase, production and dispatch so everyone worked off the same status. Dispatch checklists were run a day ahead so invoicing, packing and transporter booking stayed aligned. It also made owner reviews easier because key exceptions were visible without chasing the team. The practical outcome was fewer escalations, faster decisions, and dates that changed less often.

Before: Too many moving parts, no single view

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 structured stage-wise tracking and checklists so work moved forward only when prerequisites were met. QC marked holds against lots, and planners saw only cleared stock as available for production. It also made owner reviews easier because key exceptions were visible without chasing the team. The practical outcome was smoother handovers between departments and more predictable daily execution.

Implementation: Centralised workflow with clear owners

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 structured stage-wise tracking and checklists so work moved forward only when prerequisites were met. Supervisors started reviewing shortages at shift start and raised purchase/transfer requests before the line was blocked. The practical outcome was that teams stopped re-entering the same data and acted on exceptions early.
