Engineering & Machining

Every order brings a different drawing, routing, material requirement, machine load and delivery commitment. IEV connects them in one manufacturing ERP system, giving engineering teams live control from quotation and planning through production, quality, costing and dispatch.

Quote It Accurately. Schedule It Realistically. Deliver It Profitably.

Every engineering order brings a different drawing, material requirement, routing, setup, machine load and delivery commitment. IEV connects the commercial promise with the resources required to fulfil it. Teams can see what the job should cost, whether material and capacity are available, which operation is running, what is delaying progress and how the actual margin is changing before the order reaches dispatch.

CONNECTED JOB CONTROL

One Job Record From Enquiry to Financial Closure

The commercial team should not quote from one set of assumptions while production plans from another. Purchasing should not order material without seeing available stock and committed demand. Finance should not reconstruct job cost after dispatch using entries gathered from several departments.

IEV carries the same job through enquiry, quotation, order confirmation, BOM and routing approval, material planning, purchasing, production, inspection, subcontracting, dispatch, invoicing and final costing. Each transaction updates the processes it affects, preserving one continuous operational and financial record from the first commitment to the final margin.

When a drawing revision changes the material or routing, the impact remains connected to the job. When production consumes more material than planned, inventory and job cost reflect it. When an operation is rejected or sent for rework, progress, capacity and cost change with it. Management sees the business consequence while there is still time to respond.

ENGINEERING AND MACHINING WORKFLOWS

Run Every Engineering Order Through a Controlled Workflow

Quotation, BOM & Process Planning

Build the quotation from the resources the component will actually require. IEV connects drawings, material specifications, BOMs, routings, operation times, machine rates, tooling, subcontracting and overheads to create a defensible cost estimate.

Once the order is confirmed, the approved engineering structure becomes the basis for planning and production. Commercial assumptions remain connected to actual consumption and output, making estimate-versus-actual comparison possible throughout the job.

Routing and Operation Sequence Planning
Machine, Labour and Setup-Time Estimation
Tooling and Subcontracting Cost Estimation
Quotation Revision, Approval and Conversion to Order

Material Planning, Procurement & Traceability

Convert confirmed jobs into time-phased material and component requirements. IEV checks available stock, reserved quantities, open purchase orders and expected receipts before creating additional procurement demand.

Reserve and issue material against the correct work order while retaining batch, heat number and certificate references. Teams can see shortages early and trace the material used in every finished component without rebuilding its history manually.

Machine Capacity & Job Scheduling

Load work across CNC turning centres, VMCs, HMCs, grinding machines, fabrication cells and assembly resources using the approved routing and available operating hours. IEV considers existing queues, setup, tooling, maintenance, material readiness and subcontracting dependencies.

Planners can see what each machine is running, what is waiting and where capacity remains. When a priority changes or a machine becomes unavailable, the impact on other jobs and customer commitments becomes visible before the schedule is revised.

Production, Tooling & Quality Control

Track output at every operation rather than waiting for the complete work order to close. IEV records setup, runtime, downtime, production quantity, rejection, rework and WIP against the machine, operator and job where they occur.

Tool usage and inspection remain connected to the same production record. Supervisors can act on tool-life limits, first-off failures and process deviations before they affect later operations or delay the finished component.

Subcontracting, Dispatch & Job Costing

Keep heat treatment, plating, grinding, coating and other outside operations visible within the production schedule. Track the quantity sent, vendor, process, due date, returned quantity, rejection and pending balance against the original job.

Before dispatch, IEV confirms production and quality status and brings every internal and external cost into the final review. Management can see the actual margin, explain major variances and use the result to improve future pricing.

WHAT IEV IMPROVES

Better Quotations. More Reliable Schedules. Stronger Job Margins.

Job Cost Estimation & Quotation

Build estimates using exact material quantities, operation times, machine rates, labour, tooling, subcontracting, and overheads. Compare every completed job against its original estimate to capture true costs. Use this actual production data to price similar work accurately and protect future sales margins.

Machine Scheduling & Capacity Planning

Schedule CNCs, VMCs, HMCs, grinding machines, fabrication cells, and assembly resources against their actual active load. Factor in material readiness, setup time, tooling, maintenance, and outside processing. Confirm realistic delivery dates based on hard data to protect your ongoing customer sales commitments.

Work Order & Routing Tracking

Track each work order through its exact approved routing rather than relying on a vague production status. Monitor completed operations, pending quantities, current physical locations, and process bottlenecks. Identify the exact work centre responsible for the next action to keep production moving smoothly.

Tooling & Setup Lifecycle Management

Connect machines, fixtures, cutting tools, and specific process requirements directly to the scheduled operation. Record setup time, tool life, consumption, machinery breakdowns, and regrinding cycles. Ensure unavailable tooling never becomes an unexpected production stoppage that delays your final customer deliveries and billing.

In-Process Quality & Defect Control

Record first-off approvals, in-process inspections, rejections, and rework directly against the exact job and operation. Prevent non-conforming components from moving to the next manufacturing stage. Instantly see exactly how these quality losses negatively impact your delivery timelines, plant capacity, and overall production costs.

Live Job Costing & Variance Analysis

Compare estimated and actual material, machine time, labour, scrap, rework, and subcontracting continuously throughout production. Identify exactly where financial margin is being lost early enough to correct the active job. Use these insights to improve your next quotation and guarantee revenue profitability.
