Connecting the shop floor so leadership sees production as it happens.
A manufacturer ran on end-of-day reports and gut feel. SutraSarthi connected production, inventory and dispatch into one flow with live dashboards, so the whole operation is visible in real time.
The challenge
Production status, inventory and dispatch lived in separate registers and spreadsheets, reconciled only at day-end.
By the time a problem, a stalled line, a stock shortage, a delayed dispatch, showed up in a report, it had already cost time and material, and the day was gone. Supervisors spent hours compiling numbers that were out of date the moment they were finished.
Planning was reactive because the data was always a day behind, so leadership managed the factory by looking in the rear-view mirror.
What we built
SutraSarthi mapped the full production process, then connected order, production, inventory and dispatch into one flow so each stage updates the next instead of being re-keyed.
We built live dashboards that show throughput, bottlenecks and stock as they happen, replacing the manual end-of-day reporting that consumed supervisor time.
With current data in front of them, leadership plans on what is happening now, catching bottlenecks as they form and making decisions in the moment rather than the morning after.
The results
What changed.
Production and stock are current, not day-old.
Bottlenecks surface as they form, while there is still time to act.
Supervisors stop compiling numbers by hand and get their time back.
Decisions run on real-time data instead of yesterday's reports.
Tools we used
We stopped managing the factory on yesterday's numbers.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is real-time production visibility?
It means production status, inventory and dispatch are visible as they happen on live dashboards, rather than compiled into end-of-day reports. SutraSarthi delivers it by connecting the shop floor into one data flow.
How do you connect the shop floor from order to dispatch?
We map the full production process, then connect order, production, inventory and dispatch so each stage updates the next automatically instead of being re-entered, and surface the whole flow on live dashboards.
How does real-time data improve manufacturing decisions?
When leadership sees throughput, bottlenecks and stock as they happen, they can act while there is still time to fix a problem, instead of discovering it in the next morning's report after it has already cost time and material.
Does this reduce manual reporting work?
Yes. Live dashboards replace the manual end-of-day compilation that consumed supervisor time, so the numbers are both current and produced automatically.
