Cut 680, shipped 631. Prove where forty-nine went.
Production loses pieces at every stage, and the difference between a piece that was scrapped and a piece still on the line is the difference between a costed loss and a panic. We build the reconciliation that names it.
Why this sector
Manufacturing operations already run on stage counts — cut, stitched, finished, packed. The counts exist; what does not exist is anything that forces them to agree. A system that reconciles them turns a supervisor’s notebook into a number a buyer will accept.
What it does
Mechanics, not features — each one is a number that either ties out or announces that it does not.
Stage reconciliation that closes
Cut, stitched, finished, packed and rejected are five separate numbers. When a lot is closed the system subtracts packed and rejected from cut, and whatever is left is pieces nobody can account for — named on the record, not averaged into a percentage.
Rejects are not work in progress
The commonest fault in production trackers is treating the gap between two stages as loss. It is only loss once the lot is closed and the rejects are recorded. Until then it is inventory. The system holds those apart and refuses to report one as the other.
ISO 2859-1 sampling, derived
Inspection runs at General Level II, AQL 2.5. Lot size alone decides the sample size and the accept number, so the system computes both instead of asking an inspector to recall the table — and flags any inspection where the sample actually pulled does not match the standard.
Three fixed quality gates
Incoming material, in-line, and final. Each gate carries its own sample, its own defect record and its own photographs, so a failure is traceable to a shift and an operator rather than to a lot.
Live — this is the real system, not a screenshot
Put a number in that does not add up, and watch it get caught.
1 · Production log entry
What a line supervisor files at the end of a shift.
2 · Cut lots, reconciled
Scroll right for rejects, unexplained pieces and the flag. Three of the four lots have something to say.
What we sell here
In the order it matters. We do not lead with the word "automation" — it is the most crowded and worst-paid label on the board, and it describes the least valuable part of the job.
- Solution architecture — order lines at the style, colour and size grain, not one row per order
- Document automation — commercial invoice, packing list and export paperwork generated from the dispatch record
- Integration & migration — production data into accounting, without double-posting on a retry
- Custom apps & scripting — the calculations the interface builder cannot reach
- Quality governance — inspection plans that are not a matter of opinion
What we are not claiming
This is our own build on synthetic data, and we say so on the page. It demonstrates the mechanics; it is not a customer reference. Garment production is where it is modelled — the reconciliation applies to any staged process with a countable unit.
