Assembly Based Manufacturing

Build a Perfectly Synchronized Assembly System

Assembly industries depend on the timely availability of every subassembly, bought out item and component.

One missing component can delay downstream operations, final testing and customer dispatch.

Zentroo links component planning, subassembly completion, final assembly and testing so shortages are identified early.

Build a Perfectly Synchronized Assembly System

Unified Flow from Order to Assembly

Convert sales orders into finished good, subassembly and component requirements.
Explode multi level BOMs and check material availability before releasing work.
Plan subassembly, final assembly, testing and dispatch against required dates.

Engineering Precision

Define multi level BOMs covering finished goods, subassemblies and bought out parts.
Maintain alternate BOM options for approved component substitutions.
Use route sheets to define assembly sequence, work centres, setup time and process time.

Production Synchronization

Release work orders separately for subassemblies and final assembly.
Track planned, in progress, completed and pending quantities at every stage.
Start downstream operations based on component readiness and approved sequence.

Stores Coordination

Reserve and issue components against the relevant work order or assembly stage.
Track component returns, excess issues, shortages and inter department movement.
Provide location wise availability for kitting and line feeding decisions.

Quality Integration

Record inspection results at incoming, subassembly, final assembly and testing stages.
Capture defect reasons, rejected quantity, corrective action and rework completion.
Prevent incomplete or unapproved assemblies from moving to the next stage.

MIS Insights

Show pending subassemblies, component shortages and final assembly status.
Compare planned versus actual output, cycle time and work order completion.
Monitor work centre utilization, rejection, rework and dispatch readiness.

Typical Business Impact (3-6 Months)

With multi level BOM control and synchronized component planning, assembly based manufacturers can typically target:

15-30% reduction in component shortage related assembly stoppages.
10-20% improvement in assembly throughput.
10-20% reduction in WIP waiting time between subassembly and final assembly.
20-40% faster component kitting, issue and return reconciliation.
20-35% faster identification of missing components and BOM shortages.
10-20 percentage point improvement in on time completion and dispatch.
