Spreadsheets,
or one production wall.
Most workshops plan in a spreadsheet and chase progress on a chat group. Here is what changes, row by row.
Assisted pilot activation · Company-wide plans
| Task | Spreadsheets + chat | AJAW MRP |
|---|---|---|
| The production plan | A spreadsheet one person maintains and emails around. | The Production planning board: one row per order, one column per subprocess, visible to everyone. |
| Material before cutting | Someone checks the shelf, often after the order is already started. | Material readiness and missing BOMs are visible on the board; review requirements and availability before committing the plan. |
| Stock promised to other orders | Easy to count the same roll of fabric twice. | Stock and production records are connected. Verify the reservation workflow during implementation. |
| Grouping orders | Decided by memory each morning. | Review delivery windows, colour, line and model together; validate automatic proposals against your factory constraints. |
| Sizes | Size columns copied by hand for each style. | Size columns come from each product's variants on its technical sheet. |
| Progress on the floor | Asked for on a chat group, answered hours later. | A date and a quantity done in every subprocess cell. |
| Questions about the business | Someone builds a report by hand. | The AI assistant answers with figures from your own data. |
| Who can use it | Whoever has the file open. | Company-wide access on every plan. |
