Production Tracking System for Brandix Casualwear Seeduwa

Abstract

This Production Tracking System was developed for Brandix Casualwear Seeduwa (Pvt) Limited. This system is for the benefit of the employees who are directly involved in the factory production line and the factory management.The current way of Production tracking in the factory is fully manual. In the current process the Brandix Seeduwa factory is marking Budgeted and actual (Hourly) production details in excel files and when management want to check details they have to go through excel files and get the details. Actual details are marked every hour in a White board near the production lines in the factory where the management can’t get the exact details unless they visit and check the details. Due to this process management have issues where they are unable to take immediate actions if the line production is not up to the expected numbers. And management is not aware about the total monthly output with current day’s actual details until the end of each day.The purpose of this project will be to overcome all the above mentioned issues and to build a system which will help the Factory to work more easily with their day to day activities. “Production Tracking System” will be a solution where all the actual details will be available and stored. And it will contain the budgets of each factory line and all these information will be stored in the Data Entry module side of the system. With all those details management will be able to view hourly and the details of the lines and they have the possibility of comparing those with the budgeted values and take necessary decisions to make the overall production output more efficient and all these can be done using the Dashboard module of the system. Also management is able to see any feedback from the line immediately in the dashboard where the communication between the line staff and the management will be faster. Each hour with the latest Hourly production numbers of each line displaying against the budget values of the lines will be a value addition to the management stuff where to get all details. Also management have the ability to add new lines when the factory grow.Prototype methodology was used for the implementation of the project and production Tracking System is developed using C# and ASP.NET programing languages. Kendo UI framework is used as the standard charting options to the system.This system facilitates the objective of delivering a simple and versatile solution to production tracking details of each factory line.
