The situation
Drawings were shared on WhatsApp, approved with a thumbs-up, then changed again. Wrong versions went to production, dies were remade, and customers were promised "tomorrow" with no idea of the real load on the laser.
What we put in place
- Job card for every die from enquiry to delivery
- Drawing versions with a clear "approved" record
- Stage tracking: design, laser, rule, rubber, QC, dispatch
- Automatic WhatsApp update to the customer at dispatch
What changes
- Wrong-version remakes stopped
- Real delivery dates based on actual laser load
- Fewer "where is my die?" calls
