Bijection for Manufacturing

One view of the line. Not a whiteboard.

Production orders, machines, parts and quality records in one model, with every hold and change reviewed.

A production order is planned in the ERP, run on machines that report to a separate system, and checked by a quality team working from its own records. When a batch fails inspection, finding which parts and machines it touched takes a day of queries.

Bijection links orders, machines, parts, batches and quality records, so a batch’s full history is one read. Holds, rework and schedule changes become reviewed actions, and each one is written back to the ERP.

  • Quality holds

    Starts: A batch fails inspection

    1. Hold the batch and every batch that used the same parts.
    2. Quality reviews the evidence.
    3. Released or scrapped batches are updated in the ERP.

  • Machine downtime

    Starts: A machine stops

    1. Find the orders scheduled on it.
    2. Propose moving them to another line.
    3. A planner approves the new schedule.

  • Maintenance

    Starts: A machine reaches its service interval

    1. Create a work order with the machine’s history attached.
    2. Schedule it in the next planned stop.
    3. The work order closes when the technician reports back.

  • Supplier issues

    Starts: Parts arrive out of tolerance

    1. Find the orders that depend on those parts.
    2. Open a claim with the supplier.
    3. Track the replacement delivery until it arrives.

  • Engineering changes

    Starts: Engineering changes a part

    1. Show every product, order and stock item it affects.
    2. Each affected team approves.
    3. The change applies from the agreed date.

  • Shift handover

    Starts: A shift ends

    1. Collect open issues, holds and machine states.
    2. Hand them to the next shift lead.
    3. Anything unacknowledged goes to the plant manager.
