Release a BOM, open a work order, reserve and issue material, run the route, book good and reject WIP, transfer finished goods to stock. One shop-floor engine, on the same ledger as your inventory and quality.
Production runs on WhatsApp messages, shouted updates and a whiteboard that's always out of date.
You ping the supervisor, check WhatsApp and walk the floor, and still can't say how many pieces are actually done.
There's no clear number for what's finished and what's still on the line, so promises to customers are really just hopes.
Scrap and rework surface at the end of the day, long after the material and time are already gone.
Fast Production Software is the software your factory uses to make things. It opens a job, hands out the material, follows each piece through every operation, and records what's good, what's rejected and what's finished. Everything your shop floor does, recorded in one place as it happens instead of on WhatsApp, Excel and a whiteboard.
Start a work order for a quantity and date, and issue exactly the material that job needs, with no guesswork.
Follow each operation and see good pieces, rejected pieces and rework as they happen, not at day-end.
Catch rejected parts on the spot, send them for rework, and know nothing quietly disappears.
Know how many pieces are done and how many are pending at any moment, no phone calls needed.
Spot rejection and delays early, while you can still do something about them.
See where scrap and rework come from and stop the same mistakes repeating.
Give customers delivery dates based on real progress, not hope.
Fast Production Software carries every job through one controlled cycle, from released BOM to finished goods in stock — with reject and rework tracked, not lost.
Everything starts with the engineering definition. You author a master Bill of Materials — the child items, quantity-per and scrap allowance — alongside the Bill of Resources, the machines, labour and operations each level consumes. Multi-level assemblies explode into an indented tree of FG, SFG and raw material. Nothing is usable by production until it is released, and engineering changes flow through a controlled ECN.
From a released BOM you raise a work order — internal (WO) or a sales work order (SWO) against a customer order — manually or auto-generated from the sales plan. It is born a draft, released, and its job cards print for the floor.

Material moves onto a work order in two controlled steps, mirroring the warehouse's reserve-then-pick discipline. A production requisition explodes the BOM against the work order; stock is reserved to earmark it so it can't be double-committed; then it is issued to the line — the real stock deduction, charged to the order. A wrong issue can be reversed, and unused material returns on the same slip.
As the order runs, operators book good WIP and reject WIP at each operation, plus any process scrap. Production slips move work-in-progress from one operation to the next. Stock only truly moves at issue and at finished-goods transfer — so WIP tracks quantity through the route without touching finished-goods stock.
Every work order follows a route: an ordered sequence of operations, each on a work center, each with its standard time and process specifications — the dimensional and quality parameters an operator has to hit. Master process sheets are authored once and reused; order-specific sheets carry a job's own route. The floor works from a printed process sheet.
As each operation completes, its status is booked — and it can branch straight into in-process inspection before the part moves on. Defects are mapped to the work center that produced them, and process-cost and rejection MIS show exactly where operations lose time and yield.

When the route is complete, output transfers into inventory as finished or semi-finished goods — the manufacturing event and the stock transfer, lot-tracked where you need traceability, with over-production handled explicitly. The work order closes as completed, and the finished goods are immediately on-hand for dispatch and for Fast Quality's FG inspection.
Parts that fail on the line aren't lost. Line rejection is captured against the work order, at part or child-part level. A rework decision opens a self-contained sub-process — a rework route is defined and executed, and salvaged parts either transfer to finished goods or return into the main flow. Scrap is booked out, and replacement can raise a purchase requisition.
Fast Production Software ships with the dashboards and MIS a shop floor actually runs on — work-order follow-up, live job-card status, process cost and rejection, BOM costing — plus Dhruv AI, our own AI layer for the questions a fixed report can't answer.
The production control tower — open vs completed work orders, released vs pending, WIP in progress, and today's transfers, all on one screen for the planner who owns the schedule.
The live shop-floor position of every job card — which operation each work order is on, at which work center, and how good and reject quantities are building up.
Every open work order with its due date and ageing — released, in-progress, short-closed or completed — so the planner sees the backlog before it turns into a late delivery.
Indented multi-level BOM explosion and where-used reporting — see exactly what a finished item is built from, and every assembly a component feeds into.
Roll up material cost from the BOM positions and resource/process cost from the route into an estimated unit cost — the basis for job-order costing and margin analysis.
Operation cost from standard times and reject/scrap rates by operation and work center — so you see precisely where the line loses time and yield.
What material is reserved against which work orders, and the rework report showing salvaged versus scrapped quantity — the two numbers that quietly decide throughput.
Dhruv AI, our own AI engine, clusters rejection and defect remarks into recurring themes across work centers and items, and generates plain-language insight summaries from your production dashboards.
"Which work center had the highest reject rate last month?" Dhruv AI turns the question into a safe, read-only query and answers with the data and a summary.
Fast Production Software is one of 12 integrated Fast Technology products built on a single platform. Fast Planning generates its work orders, Fast Inventory holds the material it issues and receives the finished goods it makes, and Fast Quality inspects what it produces — all on one item master, one stock ledger, zero double entry.
The upstream. Planning/MRP suggests quantities, generates work orders from the plan, and reserves the stock Production issues against.
Same stock ledger. Raw material issues and finished-goods transfers post to the on-hand your inventory team already sees.
In-process and FG inspection, and the NCR/rework decision on line rejections, run in Quality's full 8D / CAPA engine.
The downstream. Finished goods land in the warehouse lot-tracked, ready for put-away, picking and dispatch.
The full superset. Work orders link to the same sales orders, items and dispatches your ERP transactions run on.
Customer order acceptance becomes demand: a sales work order (SWO) ties production straight to the customer order it fulfils.
We map your manufacturing process first — how jobs are released, how material is issued, how the route runs, where WIP stalls, gap analysis. Then we configure Fast Production Software to fit your shop floor. Not the other way around.
Post go-live is not where we disappear. Dedicated support team, multiple channels, monthly review meetings, and patches issued on feedback. We treat support as part of the product.
A job shop, an automotive component plant, and a multi-level assembly line make things differently. Fast Production Software serves each with the BOM depth, routing and traceability that discrete manufacturer actually needs.
Sheet-metal, machining and welded assemblies made to order against a customer OA — each job carrying its own BOM, route and process sheet, tracked to finished goods.
APQP/PPAP-governed parts with work-center routing, in-process inspection, and line rejection and rework tracked per work order — the traceability the tier supply chain expects.
Multi-level structural BOMs where sub-assemblies feed the final build. Kit and component issue to the line, SFG transfers up the tree, and each level tracked to finished goods.
Make-to-order and make-to-stock component plants running work orders from a sales or production plan, issuing material, and transferring finished goods to stock with full MIS.
Engineer-to-order builds carry a per-order BOM and process sheet, ECN-controlled revisions, and BOM costing — from released design to a finished machine, tracked as one work order.
Work-order follow-up, live job-card status, and process-cost and rejection MIS instead of a spreadsheet — what is on the floor, what is late, and where yield is being lost.
Because Fast Production runs on the shared document engine, its integrations are native table-level links, not brittle interfaces. Planning generates its work orders, inventory holds the material it issues and receives its finished goods, quality inspects what it makes — and WhatsApp and Dhruv AI keep the floor and the manager informed. One backbone.
