business process
The SpiralX business process is a “closed loop” sytem that begins with the initial quote, through design, purchasing, quality control, shipment, human resources, costing, and finally to the company financials. Each system has all it’s history stored electronically within the SpiralX data warehouse and can be recalled by job number, or customer purchase order number.
Engineers create models and drawings in SolidWorks based on the purchase order they receive. Once these drawings are approved, they can then create a bill of materials from them to be purchased for production. All models and drawings are archived within the database for retrieval and make it possible to facilitate potential re-orders
A common cause of delayed product completion for any business is an error or oversight in inventory that delays part ordering. Our database tracks all incoming and outgoing parts job-by-job in real time. As soon as a new job is entered, the quantity and delivery time for all parts are updated in our inventory list to show what we have in stock and what needs to be ordered. If a new part needs to be ordered due to damage or a post-fab design change, we have several will-call stations set up around our shop floor to quickly sync it with our database.
A specific job number is assigned to each job so its status can be tracked throughout production. Every piece of material and equipment that requires calibration or ASME code verification is also stored within our database to ensure that each job is being manufactured up to code.
