MANUFACTURING EXECUTION

Production Management System

TEKADA Production Management System connects planning context with execution records and can expand toward full MES traceability, machine integration, and real-time analytics.

AT A GLANCE

How TEKADA can help

Production plans are difficult to execute when priorities, materials, routes, status, quality, and output are maintained in separate tools.

USE CASES

Operational contexts where this is most relevant.

01

Discrete production

Scope is validated through discovery so the system follows the real process, data, users, and controls.

02

Assembly operations

Scope is validated through discovery so the system follows the real process, data, users, and controls.

03

Make-to-order manufacturing

Scope is validated through discovery so the system follows the real process, data, users, and controls.

04

Production teams moving beyond spreadsheets

Scope is validated through discovery so the system follows the real process, data, users, and controls.

HOW WE WORK

From bottleneck to a system people actually use.

  1. 01

    Define planning and execution boundaries

    Each stage has clear ownership, acceptance criteria, data checks, and go/no-go decisions.

  2. 02

    Standardise work-order status

    Each stage has clear ownership, acceptance criteria, data checks, and go/no-go decisions.

  3. 03

    Digitise operator and supervisor transactions

    Each stage has clear ownership, acceptance criteria, data checks, and go/no-go decisions.

  4. 04

    Add traceability and integration by priority

    Each stage has clear ownership, acceptance criteria, data checks, and go/no-go decisions.

FAQ

Direct answers before you begin.

Straightforward answers to common questions before starting a project.

01What is Production Management System?+

Production Management System is a TEKADA solution. It focuses on production planning handoff, work-order control, routing, WIP, output, material, labour, quality, and production reporting. Final scope depends on processes, data, users, integrations, security, and target outcomes.

02Who should consider Production Management System?+

It is relevant for manufacturers that need structured production coordination without losing the detail required on the shop floor. Discovery confirms the problem, priorities, and implementation boundaries before development starts.

03Can it integrate with existing systems?+

Yes. Integration can use APIs, databases, files, webhooks, middleware, barcode devices, or other available and authorised interfaces.

04Must the full scope be implemented at once?+

No. TEKADA recommends phased implementation starting with a high-value workflow or bottleneck, then expanding after data and adoption are stable.

05How much does it cost and how long does it take?+

Pricing and timeline depend on scope, users, modules, integrations, migration, devices, security, training, and support requirements. An estimate follows discovery.

06How is success measured?+

Success criteria are defined before delivery, such as lead time, data accuracy, trace speed, manual effort, response time, adoption, or other relevant operational KPIs.

07What business problems does it solve?+

Production plans are difficult to execute when priorities, materials, routes, status, quality, and output are maintained in separate tools. The recommended scope prioritises the highest-value constraint first.

08What examples and use cases are included?+

Typical examples include Discrete production, Assembly operations, Make-to-order manufacturing, Production teams moving beyond spreadsheets. The final use cases are validated against actual users and transactions.

09What benefits should management expect?+

Expected benefits include Control work-order priorities and status, Coordinate materials, routes, and capacity, Capture output, scrap, and delay reasons, Create consistent production reporting. Baselines and owners are agreed before implementation.

10Which industries can use it?+

The solution can be adapted for electronics, automotive, medical devices, plastics, food and beverage, warehouses, distribution, and other process-driven operations.

11How does it compare with a generic off-the-shelf tool?+

A generic tool is faster when the process already fits it. TEKADA adds value when workflows, controls, integrations, devices, or reporting require a closer operational fit.

12What does implementation include?+

Implementation can include discovery, process mapping, UX, configuration, development, integration, migration, testing, training, rollout, documentation, and support.

13What support is available after go-live?+

Support scope can include incident handling, monitoring, user assistance, data correction controls, minor enhancements, releases, and continuous-improvement reviews.

14How are security and access controlled?+

Security is designed around role-based access, least privilege, authentication, audit logs, backup, environment controls, and the customer’s infrastructure requirements.

15What information is needed for an initial consultation?+

Share the current process, main bottleneck, users, transaction volume, existing systems, desired integrations, constraints, and the outcome you want to measure.
