The situation
Production output was reported into the ERP system manually at the end of each shift. Planning worked from figures that were a day old, stock accuracy drifted, and quality traceability depended on paper records held at each site.
What we did
- 01
Modelled the data flow between plant systems, the ERP, and the quality function
- 02
Built an event driven integration layer with idempotent processing and dead letter handling
- 03
Delivered reconciliation reporting so finance could verify production figures tie out
- 04
Digitised quality traceability records with lineage at batch level
- 05
Handed over with runbooks, monitoring dashboards, and training for the internal IT team
The outcome
- Real time
Production reporting into planning, previously end of shift
