Production Pulse & Atomic Part Tracker (MES)
Target Audience: VP of Manufacturing, Plant Manager
Core Value: Granular Visibility & Bottleneck Identification
The Problem: The "99% Done" Myth
Traditional ERPs track "Work Orders" as blocks. A job with one missing part looks "In Progress," creating a black box. Management cannot see true bottlenecks or verify ship-readiness.
The Solution: Atomic-Level Telemetry
I architected the Production Pulse & Atomic Part Tracker to monitor the individual part. Aggregated boolean timestamps "bubble up" to provide a real-time, accurate status of the entire job.
The Commercial ROI
Shipping Confidence: Technically impossible to ship incomplete products; system blocked packaging until 100% part verification is complete, achieving near-zero incomplete shipments.
Bottleneck Identification: X-Ray vision into factory flow allowed for real-time labor reallocation.
Shop Floor Autonomy: Explicit status indicators reduced non-value-added communication.
Technical Architecture
Waterfall Status Logic: Replaced binary tracking with complex conditional rendering that drills down from "Delivered" to "Cut" to show exact progress (e.g., "Cutting: 15/20").
Prerequisite Gating: Validated that every part passed previous stations before unlocking "Ready to Assemble" status.
Exception Handling: Digitized the "Rework" workflow, allowing operators to trigger immediate "Remake Requests" that notify upstream stations.
