About these guides
What do the FleekERP manufacturing guides cover?
Running a shop floor, one practical topic each: how to reduce rejection rates in manufacturing; erp go-live in 18 days: how it works; why whatsapp is running your production floor; oee without sensors: a practical guide; multi-level bom management for manufacturers.
Who writes the guides?
Nexfloe, the company that builds FleekERP, from what it has learned on factory floors, starting with its founder's own garment unit. They are written for the people who run production, without vendor jargon.
Do the methods work without FleekERP?
Yes. Inspection at the operation, OEE measured from operator entries and a BOM linked to its routing are ways of running a floor, not product features. Each guide explains the method first, then where FleekERP records it for you.
