WHERE HEAVY MANUFACTURING LOSES CONTROL

One Project Can Depend on Hundreds of Connected Decisions

Heavy manufacturing projects move through materials, bought-out components, machining, fabrication, assembly, inspection, equipment availability, approvals and skilled teams. When each department maintains separate records, delays become visible only after they affect the project schedule.

01

Project Information Is Spread Across Departments

Customer requirements, quantities, assemblies, production dates and current status are maintained in different files and systems.

Solution: Centralized Work-Order Workspace

RaiseMatters brings customer projects, assemblies, target dates and progress into one operational record shared by all departments.

02

Complex Assemblies Are Difficult to Coordinate

03

Long Production Routes Hide Delays

04

Materials and Bought-Out Items Arrive Out of Sequence

05

High-Value Equipment Creates Capacity Bottlenecks

06

Quality Issues Are Discovered Near Final Assembly

07

One Asset Failure Can Disrupt an Entire Facility

08

Maintenance Is Delayed by Production Pressure

09

Skilled Workforce Availability Is Managed Separately

WHEN A CRITICAL ASSET BECOMES UNAVAILABLE

Give Every Department the Context to Respond

01
MaintenanceActive Stage

An engineer records a breakdown against a critical production or utility asset.

The maintenance ticket is logged, capturing asset identity, location, severity, and engineer assignment.

02
Asset History

The team reviews previous work, affected components, documents and available spares.

The asset profile exposes past breakdown logs, component hierarchy, manuals, and spare parts inventory.

03
Production

Operations assigned to the unavailable equipment are identified.

Production leads immediately see which active operations and work orders rely on the offline machine.

04
Planning

The planner reviews alternative equipment, available capacity and affected project dates.

Capacity loads are recalculated to reallocate work to backup work-centres without losing delivery tracking.

05
Material

WIP and materials waiting for the blocked operation remain visible.

Stores and logistics teams track staged material and WIP locations to prevent material clutter.

06
Workforce

Relevant shifts, engineers and operational responsibilities can be coordinated.

Rosters, technician availability, and operator skill competencies are aligned with the revised plan.

07
Quality

Inspection and approval requirements remain connected to the revised production route.

Quality hold points and NDT templates sync automatically with the updated machine allocation.

08
Management

Maintenance status, production impact and project risk can be reviewed through connected records.

Leadership reviews plant-wide availability, project risk, and real-time execution status in one dashboard.
