Plant Manager — hit the schedule, lift the yield, stop the fires.
You don't care about Part 11. You care about throughput, on-time-in-full, yield, scrap, OEE and whether the schedule will survive contact with reality. V5 runs your floor with enforced sequencing, gated e-signatures and immutable records — and surfaces the throughput / yield / downtime data that lets you actually fix what's broken.
The 5 problems we hear from every Plant Manager.
Schedule blows up because the dispense bay starves the line.
WMS, MES and scheduling on one platform — the schedule sees real inventory, real equipment status and real labour availability.
Operators skip steps and yield drops, but you find out at month-end.
Enforced sequencing — the next step doesn't unlock until the previous one is signed. Yield variance surfaces by shift, line, operator and recipe in real time.
Paper batch records take days to review and release.
The batch record self-builds as the operator works. QA sees deviations as they happen; release is a same-shift decision.
ERP says one thing, the floor says another — physical count never matches.
Lot-by-lot consumption is signed at the dispense bay and posted to ERP automatically. Cycle counts come in line.
Downtime reasons are written on a clipboard nobody reads.
Structured downtime capture at the asset, OEE per line / shift / SKU, root cause tied to actual maintenance work orders.
What changes Monday morning.
Stand-up at 7:30 — pull yesterday's OEE per line on the wall display, see overnight deviations, today's schedule against capacity, late suppliers, open work orders. Walk the floor with the handheld; tap any work order to see what's running, who's on it and what's blocking. Same screen as the operator.
What the numbers look like.
| Metric | Before | With V5 |
|---|---|---|
| Batch record review-to-release | 2–5 days | Same shift |
| Schedule attainment | 65–75% | 85–92% |
| Yield variance visibility | Month-end | Per shift / SKU / operator |
| ERP-to-floor inventory accuracy | 85–90% | 99%+ |
The modules that matter for your role.
Shop floor execution
Kiosk-led work orders — dispense, weigh, blend, package, label.
Scheduling & dispatch
Plan the week, dispatch the shift, react when reality hits.
Inventory & warehouse
Receive, putaway, lots and serials, bins, transfers, ship.
Maintenance & OEE
PMs, downtime reasons, asset performance and condemn.
eBMR / eDHR
Electronic batch and device history — built as the line runs.
Questions Plant Managers ask us.
Will this slow my operators down?+
First two shifts, slightly. By week two operators are faster than paper because they're not flipping pages or chasing signatures. The kiosk UX is built for gloves, scales and scanners — not laptops.
Do I have to replace my ERP?+
No. V5 sits between the ERP and the floor. Work orders come from ERP, V5 executes them, lot-by-lot consumption posts back. Customers run V5 with SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, Dynamics, Epicor and others.
What about lines we run paper on today — phased or big-bang?+
Phased. Most plants bring one line live first (the messiest one usually — that's where the ROI is), prove it for 30 days, then roll the rest. Big-bang is possible if the regulatory pressure demands it.
