Le parcours d’exécution

Six phases connectées. Un seul flux maîtrisé.

Suivez chaque transfert, du plan approuvé à l’installation, avec le niveau de détail opérationnel nécessaire à chaque phase.

1
Engineering Release
Start every project from one controlled engineering record. Build the BOM, organize production items, attach drawings and technical documents, and release only approved information to the shop floor. When engineering changes, Fabritec records the revision, preserves the previous version, and connects the new release to the affected project, phase, item, and production workflow.
- Build BOMs and production-item structures.
- Organize work by project, phase, assembly, and item.
- Centralize drawings, specifications, and technical documents.
- Review and approve information before release.
- Issue controlled drawing and document revisions.
- Connect approved engineering data directly to production.
- Preserve a complete history of technical changes.
- Prevent outdated files from reaching the shop floor.

Build the Plan
Translate engineering requirements into scheduled, executable work. Prioritize projects and orders by delivery need, assign work to stages and workstations, and balance the schedule against labour, shifts, crews, machine capacity, and maintenance status. As priorities or operating conditions change, update the plan and expose conflicts before they disrupt production.
- Convert approved scope into scheduled production work.
- Plan by project, order, item, stage, or workstation.
- Set priorities around delivery commitments.
- Assign work to stages, teams, and workstations.
- Match workload with available labour and crews.
- Check workstation capacity and maintenance availability.
- Detect overloaded resources and schedule conflicts.
- Reprioritize work as conditions change.
- Keep the plan aligned with actual shop-floor progress.

Execute the Plan
Move approved work onto the shop floor with the latest drawings, BOMs, revisions, and instructions attached. Operators and supervisors record starts, completions, quantities, delays, stoppages, and rework at every stage. Managers see what is moving, what is falling behind, and where intervention is required without waiting for manual updates.
- Release approved work to production.
- Deliver the latest drawings and instructions to each station.
- Assign work to teams, operators, and workstations.
- Record starts, completions, quantities, and pending work.
- Track progress by project, item, stage, and workstation.
- Capture delays, stoppages, exceptions, and rework.
- Flag work that requires management attention.
- Maintain traceability from release through completion.
- Replace verbal status updates with live execution data.

Verify Quality
Place quality control directly inside the production workflow. Inspectors record results, observations, defects, and corrective actions against the relevant item and stage. Failed work enters a controlled rework and reinspection process, while approved items move forward with a complete, traceable quality record.
- Place quality checkpoints at the required production stages.
- Record inspection results digitally.
- Document defects and quality observations.
- Assign corrective actions to responsible teams.
- Route failed work into a controlled rework process.
- Reinspect corrected items before approval.
- Track quality status by project, item, and stage.
- Block unapproved items from entering shipping.
- Build accountability between production and quality teams.

Control Dispatch
Turn completed and quality-approved items into controlled shipments. Logistics teams see what is ready, what is waiting in the yard, what should be loaded next, what is in transit, and what has reached the site. Every dispatch remains connected to its project, phase, item, and production history.
- Identify completed and approved items ready to ship.
- Move ready items into the shipping-yard workflow.
- Prioritize loads by project and delivery sequence.
- Build shipments from verified item quantities.
- Record vehicle, dispatch, and shipment details.
- Track items while they are in transit.
- Confirm receipt at the work site.
- Prevent missing, incomplete, or incorrect shipments.
- Preserve traceability from production through delivery.

Complete Installation
Continue execution control beyond factory dispatch. Site teams confirm delivered items, record installed or erected quantities, and update multiple items during the same site activity. Project leaders gain a live view of delivered, installed, and remaining scope, with every update connected to the original project, phase, item, and shipment.
- Activate installation tracking for relevant projects.
- Confirm receipt of items at the work site.
- Separate delivered scope from installed scope.
- Record installed or erected quantities by item.
- Update multiple items in one site activity.
- Monitor delivered, installed, and remaining quantities.
- Connect site updates to shipment and project records.
- Track progress through Production, Shipping Yard, In Transit, Delivered, and Erected statuses.
- Export installation progress to Excel or PDF.
- Maintain control until the final item is installed.

Improve Performance
Measure how work actually moves across workstations, labour, crews, stages, and projects. Compare planned performance with actual output, expose bottlenecks, and identify where downtime, understaffing, delays, or rework are reducing productivity. Live dashboards and AI-supported insights direct attention to the areas where action will have the greatest operational impact.
- Measure output by workstation, labour, crew, and stage.
- Compare planned progress with actual execution.
- Review throughput by shift, day, week, or month.
- Detect bottlenecks and overloaded resources.
- Identify idle or underused capacity.
- Measure the effect of downtime and stoppages.
- Analyse how defects and rework affect output.
- Report performance in pieces, weight, area, length, or volume.
- Surface risks and priorities through live dashboards.
- Use AI-supported insights to act earlier.
- Apply historical performance data to improve future plans.
