HR & Payroll

Shift-based attendance from the floor feeds wages and statutory payroll, with labour cost flowing into job costing.

Financial Accounting

Production cost, material issue and dispatch all post into the ledger, so job profitability and plant profitability come from actuals rather than estimates.

Asset & Maintenance

Machines carry their own maintenance calendar and breakdown history, so downtime on the floor is explained by the asset behind it.

Store & Warehouse

Stores serve the floor: material is issued against work orders, unused stock returns, and every movement keeps the plant balance live.

Procurement

The plant procurement cycle mirrors the Inventory pipeline: requisition, RFQ, comparison, order, receipt and vendor performance.

Gate & Logistics

Vehicles are logged in at the gate, weighed, loaded against a dispatch list and released with their paperwork — with the weighbridge as the single source of tonnage.

Quality (QMS)

Inspections gate the flow: nothing moves to dispatch without its inspection record, non-conformance resolution and test certificate.

Wastage & Yield

Actual consumption is measured against the theoretical requirement, so yield loss shows up per job, per stage and per operator rather than at month end.

Raw Material

Every plate, section and consumable is tracked with its heat number so any finished member can be traced back to the material it was made from.
