Machine Building & Equipment Manufacturing

Manage Complex Builds with Confidence

Machine building combines project specific engineering, long lead procurement and several dependent manufacturing stages.

A delay in one component, approval or subassembly can affect the entire committed project date.

Zentroo aligns procurement, fabrication, assembly, testing and dispatch against each project milestone.

End to End Project Visibility

Treat each machine or equipment order as a project with planned milestones.
Track procurement, fabrication, assembly, testing and dispatch status.
Highlight delayed components, pending approvals and activities affecting the committed date.

Engineering Strength

Maintain project specific BOMs with subassemblies, bought out items and approved alternatives.
Define routes and stage dependencies for fabrication, machining and assembly.
Associate tools, fixtures and assets with the relevant build stages.

Production Control

Release work orders by project, subassembly and manufacturing stage.
Use operator log sheets to record actual start, completion, output and delay reasons.
Monitor milestone progress from fabrication through assembly and testing.

Stores & Material Flow

Issue material, bought out parts and consumables against the relevant project.
Track inter stage movement, returns, shortages and unconsumed project stock.
Reconcile planned, issued and consumed quantities before project closure.

Quality Control

Perform inward, process, assembly and final inspection against defined requirements.
Track calibration status of measuring instruments used during inspection.
Capture rejection, rework, testing observations and final acceptance status.

MIS Insights

Provide project wise work order, route and milestone progress summaries.
Show long lead procurement status, material shortages and pending assembly activities.
Compare planned versus actual material, time and completion performance.

Typical Business Impact (3-6 Months)

With project wise BOM, procurement and milestone control, machine builders and equipment manufacturers can typically target:

10-20% reduction in project manufacturing lead time.
15-30% reduction in delays caused by missing or late components.
20-40% faster consolidation of procurement, fabrication, assembly and testing status.
5-12% reduction in project wise material over issue and unused stock.
20-35% faster project material reconciliation and closure.
10-20 percentage point improvement in on time machine dispatch.
