Software for Engineering
Job-order engineering and fabrication where each order has its own drawing, material and routing.
Engineering and fabrication work is usually made to order rather than to stock. Each job carries its own drawing, material specification and operation sequence, so standard costing does not apply cleanly. Quoting accurately depends on estimating material and machine hours for work that has not been done before.
What gets in the way
- Every job is different, so costing cannot rely on a standard product
- Quotations are estimated from experience and often miss actual consumption
- Machine hours per job are not recorded, hiding true capacity cost
- Material offcuts and remnants are not tracked back into usable stock
- Drawing revisions reach the floor late, causing rework
What the software handles
- Job-order creation with drawing reference and material specification
- Operation routing across machines with estimated hours
- Material issue against the specific job
- Actual machine time and consumption recorded per job
- Job costing compared against the original quotation
What changes
- Quotation accuracy improving from recorded actuals
- Machine utilisation visible per job and per period
- Offcut and remnant material returned to usable stock
