What Your Factory Virtual Assistant Handles
Reclaim 15–25 hours each week. Spend your leadership energy fine-tuning assembly lines, coaching shift supervisors, and closing high-margin contract manufacturing deals.
Bill of Materials (BOM) & Work Orders
Eliminate assembly line shutdowns caused by mismatched BOM revisions, missed sub-assemblies, or delayed job traveler packets.
- Entering multi-level BOMs and assembly part hierarchies into ERP (Katana / NetSuite / SAP)
- Generating production work orders, barcoded routing sheets, and traveler packets
- Flagging engineering drawing discrepancies prior to staging raw inventory
Raw Material Sourcing & PO Expediting
Lock in competitive volume pricing, prevent stockouts of critical resins, fasteners, or sheets, and avoid production delays.
- Issuing Purchase Orders (POs) for raw stock, packaging materials, and hardware
- Daily supplier expediting calls & emails to verify estimated ship dates (ESDs)
- Reconciling vendor order confirmations against quoted unit prices and payment terms
Production Scheduling & WIP Tracking
Keep fabrication, sub-assembly, finishing, and testing lines balanced without running into unexpected machine capacity bottlenecks.
- Maintaining shift work schedules & machine loading Gantt charts in Smartsheet
- Updating Work-in-Progress (WIP) operational stages and job completion percentages
- Logging machine downtime, cycle times, and scrap rate variances for plant review
QC Logs, Lot Traceability & ISO 9001
Protect your factory from costly customer chargebacks, product recalls, and ISO audit findings with spotless quality compliance.
- Archiving Certificates of Analysis (COA) & material lot heat numbers
- Logging Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), first-article inspections (FAI) & rework tickets
- Assembling organized digital audit compliance binders for ISO 9001 / IATF 16949
MRO Consumables & CMMS Maintenance
Never let a $250,000 production line grind to a halt because the facility ran out of lubricants, cutting inserts, or PPE supplies.
- Reordering MRO supplies from McMaster-Carr, Grainger, Fastenal, and local vendors
- Scheduling periodic preventative maintenance work orders in MaintainX or Limble CMMS
- Tracking tool calibration schedules and manufacturer service contract renewals
Freight BOL Dispatch & Milestone Invoicing
Keep outbound finished goods shipping on schedule while ensuring client deposit and progress invoices go out promptly.
- Booking LTL, full truckload (FTL), and intermodal container freight carriers
