The Fasteners Industry is defined by a vast range of item types and categories, along with small and varied customer orders that often come with specific material specifications.
Lighthouse ERP for Fasteners Industry empowers businesses with efficient production planning and real-time monitoring of each stage-wise process, a crucial requirement in this highly specialized sector.
Given that much of the work is executed by contractors, both inside and outside the plant, tracking their progress and managing bill processing becomes a challenging task. Lighthouse ERP simplifies and streamlines this complex contractor management.
The system also facilitates rigorous quality control and inspection whether conducted by third parties or customers to ensure full compliance with design specifications. Additionally, analyzing machine load capacity and manpower efficiency is vital for enhancing plant performance, and Lighthouse ERP makes this insight-driven process easier and more effective.
Continuously evolving since 1987, Lighthouse ERP is customizable ERP software which offers a robust, cost-effective, and comprehensive solution tailored to the unique needs of the fasteners industry. It enables increased production and smoother operations by unifying all critical business activities into a single, integrated platform.
Manufacturing a wide range of screws, bolts, nuts, and washers in small quantities per order creates complexity in planning and inventory control.
Orders often require different material grades, threading types, and coating processes. Manual tracking leads to mismatches, rework, and customer dissatisfaction.
A significant portion of operations like threading, heat treatment, or coating is outsourced, making progress tracking, quality control, and billing cumbersome.
Fasteners, especially for automotive or industrial applications, demand strict traceability from raw material to finished goods, which is hard to maintain without a proper manufacturing ERP system.
Production planning is often done in silos or spreadsheets, lacking integration between job cards, machine load, and delivery timelines with integrated erp system this can be streamlined.
Without stage-wise tracking, semi-finished inventory is either overstocked or lost in process, leading to material wastage and increased cost.
Fasteners are shipped in bulk containers and often require specific box sizes and barcoded labels. Manual packing leads to miscounts and wrong dispatches.
Captures every product detail, including threading type, material, drawings, and variant sets for accurate production execution.
Ensures compliance by tracking raw material batches, coating lots, and finished goods essential for industrial-grade fasteners.
Track outsourced work, QC status, material issued/returned, and auto-generate bills based on completion eliminating disputes and delays.
With Manufacturing ERP Software, Production scheduling based on orders, raw material availability, or plant downtime helps meet delivery commitments.
Allows production of similar fasteners under one batch, saving setup time, improving machine utilization, and minimizing WIP.
Stage-wise progress and quality checks (rejected, rectified, accepted) are logged and reported in real time.
Eliminates manual dispatch errors with barcode scanning for correct item, quantity, and container box tagging.
Capture every detail of products including attributes, production group, related products, product sets, and technical drawings for accurate manufacturing references.
Plan production intelligently using pending orders and stock levels.
Track raw materials to finished goods through lot-wise and bin-wise management, ensuring end-to-end traceability and transparency in production.
Create, manage, and reschedule work/job orders with flexibility to accommodate priority changes and real-time floor conditions.
Record process-wise production output, operator involvement, and rejection data for efficiency tracking and quality control.
Track order-wise and process-wise WIP (Work-in-Progress) for better visibility.
Conduct inspections at every stage with QC entries for accepted, rejected, and rectified quantities to maintain consistent product quality.
Use container and barcode management for precise packing and dispatch; calculate landed cost for clear insights into material and overhead expenses.
