Sheet metal plants get operation-level routing for laser, punch, bend, weld, and powder coat with nest-aware material issues and subcontract for plating when needed.
Sheet items track gauge, size, and weight with scrap factors on operations. MRP suggests raw sheet orders based on nest yield assumptions you maintain.
Quick work order release from sales orders suits job-shop mix without heavy MRP cycles for every small batch. Repetitive parts still use master schedules.
BOM explosion kits fabricated parts with hardware and bought-out items for assembly cells. Stores pick lists group material by order or batch.
Challan and receipt for coaters track lot quantities and colour codes. Rejected finish triggers rework routings without losing order traceability.
Simple quantity reporting per operation updates WIP immediately. Supervisors see queue at bend and weld when laser runs ahead of plan.
First-off and in-process dimensional checks on critical bends and welds gate batch continuation. Final cosmetic and fit checks link to customer drawing revisions.
Implementation can import cut plans or flat patterns as work order material demand. Native MRP still manages hardware, bought-out, and subcontract balance.
CRM quotes reference historical operation times and material from similar jobs when configured. Won orders convert without re-entering part structure.
Yes. Sheet metal and fabrication SMEs use FOS to replace Excel travellers and disconnected stores, gaining live WIP and on-time delivery visibility.
