The pain points
And how Tathven answers each one
Planning
1
What to make, and what to buy for it
The pain
Orders arrive, and nobody can say what material they need, what is already in stock and what must be bought this week.
How Tathven solves it
Each product has a bill of materials per operation, with the wastage you expect at each step. Material planning explodes open orders and sale orders due for dispatch through their bills of materials, nets them against stock, open purchase orders and production already under way, and proposes purchase and production orders for you to confirm. Sub-assemblies are made on their own production orders and handed straight to the order that uses them.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “what should I order this week?” and the assistant prepares the purchase order for you to confirm.
2
Delivery dates that are guesses
The pain
A customer asks when the order will be ready. The answer depends on who you ask.
How Tathven solves it
Each product’s routing gives every step its work centre, setup time, run time and transfer time, and outside steps their lead days. Every production order shows its estimated completion, laid on the working calendar of each work centre, and how many days it is past its due date.
3
Machines booked on a whiteboard
The pain
A rush order upsets the week, and nobody sees what slips.
How Tathven solves it
Work centres have their machines, shifts, holidays, machine-hour rates and operator pools with skills and leave. Production orders are scheduled on a board against what each machine can actually do. Auto-schedule places open orders by due date, and a planned job can be dragged to another time or another capable machine.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “which production orders are running late, and why?” The assistant reads the schedule and prepares a reschedule or extra overtime for you to confirm.
On the floor
4
Downtime nobody writes down
The pain
A machine stops and the reason is never recorded, so utilisation is a guess.
How Tathven solves it
The shop floor screen starts, pauses and stops each run, with good and rejected quantities and a reason for every stop, planned or unplanned. A starter list of downtime reasons comes ready, and you can add your own. Utilisation and OEE show how much of each machine’s time made good product.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “how much downtime did we have this week, and why?”
5
Breakdowns instead of maintenance
The pain
Machines are serviced when they break.
How Tathven solves it
Preventive maintenance is planned for each machine every so many days or running hours, with due and overdue flags. Planned maintenance blocks the machine’s calendar, and a daily mail lists what is due.
6
Quality checked at the end, if at all
The pain
Bad material is found after it has been used, and a bad batch is found at dispatch.
How Tathven solves it
Quality-controlled items arrive on hold until a person with the clearance right releases them. Starter specifications come ready for raw-material receipt, bought-out components and finished-goods release. Each operation can carry its own in-process checks, taken at first piece or at stop. Defect reports carry the root cause and the corrective and preventive actions, and a Pareto view shows what keeps coming back.
Job work, costs and stock
7
Material at the job worker’s
The pain
Material goes out to a contractor. What was sent and what came back lives in challans.
How Tathven solves it
A job order sends the work to a contractor with material issued against it, a due-back date, and unused material returned to stores. The contractor’s bill clears against the job order, and GST’s ITC-04 return for goods sent to job workers is built from the same records.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “what is still with the contractors?”
8
What a product really costs
The pain
The cost sheet was made years ago, and nobody knows which products lose money.
How Tathven solves it
A costing order works out the cost from material, job rates, wastage and overhead, and suggests a sale price. Once approved, it sets the product’s cost and price. Material issued to production sits in work in progress until the goods come back, and the cost-drift view shows which products have moved away from their standard.
9
Stock nobody trusts
The pain
The stock register and the shelf never agree.
How Tathven solves it
Stock is held by unit, department and bin, by batch or serial number where you need it. Goods receipts, issues, transfers and stock-takes keep it current, and items are scanned by barcode.
10
Customers on credit, GST by hand
The pain
Goods leave before anyone checks the money, and returns are typed every month.
How Tathven solves it
Every buyer has its own credit days and limit, and an order is cleared for dispatch only when it is paid or within credit terms. GST returns are built from the tax ledger, and purchases are reconciled against GSTR-2B.
