Client Background
A mid-sized precision engineering manufacturer based in Muscat, Oman, produces automotive and aerospace components. The company faced challenges with production planning, tracking raw materials, and meeting strict delivery deadlines.
Challenges
- Inefficient Production Planning: Production schedules were created manually, leading to frequent delays and missed deadlines.
- Inventory Shortages & Overstock: Raw materials were either insufficient or overstocked due to lack of accurate forecasting.
- Limited Traceability: Difficulty tracking work orders, batches, and quality control at each stage.
- High Operational Costs: Manual processes increased labor hours and errors on the shop floor.
- Disconnected Departments: Manufacturing, inventory, and sales departments operated in silos, slowing response to customer orders.
TraceNcode Solution
