What slows engineering and machining units down
- Late jobs show up lateYou find out a job will miss its date when the customer calls, not when the operation that caused it started running behind.
- Machines are overloaded or idleLoad is in the planner's head or a spreadsheet, so one machine has a queue while the next one waits for work.
- Job cost is a guessMachine hours, setup time and vendor charges are never added up per job, so the margin is known only roughly, if at all.
How it works
How engineering and machining units run on FleekERP
Job-based production against a drawing, with machine load to manage, operations sent out for plating or heat treatment, and a delivery date the customer will hold you to. FleekERP runs each job as a work order with its routing, tracks each machine's load by the hour and shows the operation that will make the job late.

Built for engineering and machining units
- Drawing revision on the orderThe work order carries the drawing revision it was released against. A later revision does not change a running job.
- Machine load by the hourEach machine declares its capacity. The board shows load per day and the job that pushes it past 100%.
- Job costing by operation hoursMachine hours from counts and setup, times the machine rate. Vendor cost from the challan. Margin per job.

Questions from engineering and machining units
What is fabrication ERP software?
Fabrication ERP is built around jobs rather than repeat production: each order carries its own drawing, routing, material and machine time, and is costed on its own. It schedules jobs onto machines by capacity, follows operations sent out for plating or heat treatment, and adds up what every job really cost.
We make to drawing, one-off and small batch. Does a routing per job work?
Yes. A routing is created per job, or copied from a similar one and edited. Operations, machines and vendor steps are in your words.
Can we track heat numbers on raw material?
Yes. Bar and plate are received by lot with the heat number, issued to the job, and traced forward to the delivery.
How does FleekERP handle operations sent out for plating or heat treatment?
The vendor operation sits on the job's routing in sequence. A challan goes out with the material, the return is booked against it, a short return is flagged, and the vendor cost from the challan lands on the job.
How is the cost of a machined job calculated?
Machine hours from logged counts and setup time, times the machine rate, plus the vendor cost from the challan and the material issued by heat number. The job shows its margin, and the work order keeps the drawing revision it was released against.
