For Manufacturing & Operations

Excel for manufacturing and operations - daily production yield scrap % OTIF and machine downtime from the MES export. 5 KPIs the plant head and finance team both read. Senior-led from ₹40K.

Manufacturing operations runs on data that lives in three places at once - the MES on the shop floor, the spreadsheets the supervisors maintain, and the inventory system the planning team uses. The number on the morning report rarely matches the number on the plant dashboard, and the reconciliation takes most of the working day. We build the Excel dashboards that pull every source into one refresh so the plant head, the production manager and the finance team are looking at the same numbers before the day starts.

What we usually see

The spreadsheets we work with.

  • Production data exported from the MES or shop-floor system in CSV files by shift
  • Scrap, downtime and yield trackers maintained by each line supervisor in different templates
  • Raw material and finished goods inventory that lives on a separate file from the production plan
  • OTIF (on-time-in-full) reports and customer rejection summaries rebuilt every month

What we ship

The deliverables, in plain English.
