The execution journey

Six connected phases. One controlled flow.

Follow every handoff from the approved drawing to installation, with the operational detail your team needs at each phase.

1
Controlled Engineering Release
Engineering releases approved BOMs, drawings, revisions, routes, and project phases into Fabritec—giving production teams a controlled starting point and clear traceability when information changes.
- Centralize drawings, BOMs, specifications, and supporting documents
- Connect information to the relevant project, sales order, phase, item, and production workflow
- Release approved versions through a controlled process
- Maintain revision history and traceability for previous and current information
- Keep production teams informed when released information changes

Connected Production Planning
Planning teams organize work by project, sales order, BOM, phase, stage, and workstation—then review priorities, workload, available capacity, and current progress before deciding what should happen next.
- Plan production by project, sales order, BOM, phase, and item
- Release work in controlled phases as information becomes ready
- Set priorities around delivery commitments and operational requirements
- Review upcoming workload by production stage and workstation
- Compare demand with staffed capacity and workstation availability
- Update priorities using live production and progress information

Workforce & Capacity Coordination
Supervisors coordinate labour, crews, shifts, calendars, operator coverage, and workstation availability—so planned capacity reflects the people and equipment actually available to execute the work.
- Configure labour schedules, work calendars, shifts, and exceptions
- Organize workers into fixed-shift or rotating crews
- Resolve operator coverage for each workstation and shift
- Identify partial coverage and unstaffed capacity before it becomes lost production time
- Account for holidays, leave, absences, and non-working dates
- Review planned, staffed, maintenance, gap, and actual hours from the Capacity Board

Live Shop-Floor Execution
Operators work from digital production information connected to the live project, item, route, and approved drawing—while Fabritec records progress across production stages, workstations, quantities, durations, and labour activity.
- Present production work through practical, tablet-friendly job information
- Keep drawings, BOMs, and production instructions connected to the related work
- Record production progress as activities start, pause, and complete
- Capture processed quantities, successful quantities, durations, workstations, and participating labour
- Track production by project, order, item, stage, and workstation
- Surface running, idle, unstaffed, down, and behind-pace conditions through live operational views

Quality at Every Stage
Quality checkpoints remain connected to production stages and item history—helping teams document issues, control corrective work, and understand where rework is affecting output, workload, and delivery.
- Apply structured quality checkpoints within the production workflow
- Record inspection status and quality outcomes against the relevant item and stage
- Document quality issues with clear traceability
- Track rework, revert, and refabrication activity without losing the original production history
- Keep production and quality teams aligned on corrective work
- Review rework and first-pass performance across production stages

Shipping Readiness & Dispatch
Logistics teams see what is complete, what is in the shipping yard, what is ready for dispatch, and what still requires attention—keeping shipping decisions connected to actual project and item progress.
- Review shipping readiness across open projects and sales orders
- See which items are completed, stored, allocated, or waiting for dispatch
- Maintain live visibility across the shipping yard
- Plan dispatch around project, order, phase, and item requirements
- Coordinate production, quality, and logistics from shared operational information
- Track items as they move from production to the yard and into transit

Installation in Site
Site and project teams confirm delivery receipt inside Fabritec—creating a controlled handover between dispatch and erection and making the difference between shipped and delivered quantities visible.
- Confirm delivery receipt at the project site
- Distinguish shipped quantities from quantities physically received
- Connect delivery status to the related project, phase, item, and shipping information
- Identify items still in transit or awaiting delivery confirmation
- Establish the delivered baseline required before erection updates begin
- Give factory, logistics, project, and site teams one shared delivery status

Site Erection Visibility
For projects that include site installation, teams update erected quantities directly in Fabritec—giving project managers a clear view of what has been delivered, what has been erected, and what remains.
- Activate erection tracking only for projects that require site installation visibility
- Update erected quantities by item or in bulk across multiple items
- Track delivered, erected, and remaining quantities
- View progress by project, phase, item, and shipping status
- Maintain traceability from production and dispatch through final site progress
- Export erection progress to Excel or PDF for project and client reporting
