The journey of a job
TIQERP carries a job from the first quotation line to the shipping note on the same record. Data created at each step becomes the input of the next one, so nothing has to be typed into a second system.
1. Quotation
A customer request is opened as a quotation. Prices are set manually, revisions are supported and revision history is kept. The actual cost of similar completed jobs is visible while pricing.
2. Order
An approved quotation becomes an order with its quantity and due date, and moves into production planning. For partial shipments the remaining quantity is tracked.
3. Planning
The production manager defines machines, sequence and durations for each job. Routings are not fixed to the part; the same part can run on different machines in different orders. One operation can be split across several machines or operators so that no machine stands idle.
4. Production
Operators start and finish work on a touch terminal at the machine, selecting themselves on screen or with an RFID card. Time spent, quantity produced, scrap and downtime reasons are recorded as they happen. Another operator can continue the same job on the next shift, and one operator can run several machines at once.
5. Quality
Inspection and measurement records are attached to the work order. When a nonconformity is raised, quarantine, rework or scrap decisions are made in the system, and the calibration status of the measuring device used is part of the record.
6. Shipment
Shipping happens after a release check. Delivery notes and invoices can still be issued from your existing accounting software; in that case TIQERP only keeps the invoiced flag.
The loop closes
The real duration, consumption and scrap of a completed work order are written to the cost side, and that cost appears in front of you when you price the next quotation. Your quoted price rests on your own history rather than on an estimate.
