Industry — Automotive Component Manufacturing

Every part routed, inspected and traced — rejection and rework booked to the work order.

APQP/PPAP-governed parts, work-center routing, in-process inspection and a full rework loop — each part built against a released BOM and process sheet, with good and reject WIP captured at every operation. Built for automotive component makers like Nikhtish Engineering and Solidus Hi-Tech.

Why automotive component makers choose Fast Production Software

The shop-floor problems every
automotive supplier knows

Rejection lives on paper and whiteboards

Line rejects are chalked on a board and wiped at shift end. By month-end nobody can say which part, which operation or how many were scrapped — only that the numbers don't add up.

No defect-to-work-center analysis

Rejects are counted as one total, never mapped to the machine or operation that caused them. So the same work center keeps producing scrap and nobody can prove it in a PPAP or 8D review.

Rework is untracked — salvage or scrap is a guess

Rejected parts pile up in a red bin. Whether they were reworked, salvaged back to FG or finally scrapped is never recorded, so WIP and cost never reconcile at close.

No lot traceability for a customer audit or recall

When a customer flags a bad lot, you can't show which raw-material lot or which operator produced it. For an automotive supplier that is an audit finding — or a recall — waiting to happen.

How Fast Production Software fixes each one
Line rejection booked to the work orderReject the part or a child part against the WO as reject WIP (WIP/OKNOTOKMINUS), so every scrapped piece is counted against the order and operation that made it — not a whiteboard.
Defect mapped to the work centerDefect-versus-work-center mapping ties each reject to the operation and machine, so the reject MIS points straight at the source that needs a corrective action — ready for PPAP and 8D.
A rework loop that reconcilesA rework route and rework status track good and reject; salvaged parts transfer to FG or back into the main WO flow, and scrap posts as process scrap (PSCR) — so WIP always balances.
Lot and operator traceability end to endEvery issue, operation and FG transfer records lot, work center and operator on the shared document engine, so a customer audit is a report — not a scramble through box files.
Shop-floor lifecycle

From released BOM to finished part —
one work order carries the whole route

Fast Production runs every operation on the same document engine as stock and quality — so material issue, WIP, inspection, rejection and rework are one connected flow, not five spreadsheets.

Release the definition → issue material →
run and inspect operations → transfer or rework

Fast Production carries a part through its full manufacturing life — so what was engineered gets built, what was rejected gets reworked or scrapped, and every step stays traceable.

Release BOM & process
Multi-level BOM, Bill of Resources and route/process sheet released for the part; ECN controls later changes
Issue material to the WO
Reserve stock against the work order (RES/WO), then issue it (ISS/IWO) — the real stock deduction, charged to the order
Run & inspect operations
Each work center books good and reject WIP; process status entry branches into in-process inspection
Transfer, reject or rework
Good parts transfer to FG (FGP/FG); rejects book to the WO and open a rework route or post as scrap
01 — Controlled BOM & process release

Every part built from a released BOM and process sheet

APQP/PPAP-governed parts need a controlled definition — a multi-level BOM, a Bill of Resources and a route/process sheet, released only at status 4, with ECN engineering change governing every revision. Nothing reaches the floor on a draft, and superseded revisions stay traceable. See BOM & Bill of Resources.

02 — Work-center routing

The right operation, the right work center, a standard time on each

Every part carries a route — an ordered sequence of operations, each tied to a work center with a standard time, printed as a job card for the floor. Process specifications hold the dimensional and quality parameters checked at each operation, so the route is the control plan, not just a travel card. Read about process & route sheets.

03 — In-process inspection & WIP

Good and reject captured at every operation

As each operation completes, the operator books good WIP (WIP/OKPLUS) and reject WIP (WIP/OKNOTOKMINUS), and process status entry branches into an in-process inspection against the part's specifications. FG inspection follows the same path before transfer — both feeding Fast Quality's NCR flow. See material issue & WIP.

04 — Line rejection & rework

Rejected parts are reworked or scrapped — never lost

Parts failed on the line are booked against the work order — at part or child-part level — and a rework decision opens a self-contained rework route. Rework status tracks good/reject; salvaged parts transfer to FG or return into the main WO flow, scrap posts as PSCR, and rejected quantity can raise a replacement PR. See FG, rejection & rework.

05 — Traceability & production MIS

Which lot, which operator, which reject — on one screen

Because every issue, operation and transfer rides the same document engine, a part's whole history is traceable: which lot/material went into which work order, who ran which operation, what was rejected and reworked. Reject and process-cost MIS, plus Dhruv AI's reject clustering by work center, turn that trail into decisions. See Dhruv AI and inventory & quality.

Everything Fast Production Software covers
for automotive component makers

Controlled BOM, BOR & ECN

Multi-level BOM and Bill of Resources released at status 4, with ECN engineering change keeping every revision of an APQP/PPAP part traceable.

Work orders & job cards

WO and SWO generated from the plan or by hand, with WO specifications and printed job cards for each work center on the floor.

Routing & work centers

Route/process sheet per part, operation standard times, process specifications and work-center masters that drive load and cost.

Material issue & WIP

Reserve (RES/WO) then issue (ISS/IWO) material to the order, and capture good and reject WIP at every operation on the route.

In-process & FG inspection

Inspection branches off process status entry and FG transfer, feeding line rejection and rework into Fast Quality's NCR flow.

Rejection, rework & traceability

Line rejection booked to the WO, a rework loop that salvages or scraps, and lot/operator traceability end to end.

FAQ

Automotive component software —
what buyers ask us

Does it support APQP/PPAP-governed parts?

Yes. Each part is built from a BOM and process sheet released only at status 4, with ECN engineering change controlling every revision, so the floor always runs the approved definition.

How is in-process inspection captured?

Process status entry branches into an in-process inspection against the part's dimensional and quality specifications; FG inspection follows the same path, both feeding Fast Quality's NCR.

How do you track line rejection and rework per work order?

Rejects are booked to the WO at part or child-part level, mapped to the work center that caused them, and a rework route salvages to FG, returns to the main flow, or scraps as PSCR.

Can we trace lot and material into a work order?

Yes — every reserve, issue, operation and FG transfer records lot, work center and operator on the shared document engine, so a customer audit or recall is a report, not a scramble.

Who ran which operation — is that recorded?

Each operation books good and reject WIP against the work center and operator, so you can see who ran an operation and exactly what it produced, good and bad.

Does it work with our quality/QMS system?

Fast Production feeds Fast Quality — in-process and FG inspection, line rejection and rework decisions flow into its NCR and rework module on the same engine.
