TPMS - Transforming Planning & Scheduling for Heavy Engineering

Heavy engineering companies continuously struggle to integrate planning and execution processes between teams and across geographies. To fix these problems and enhance throughput, TPMS required an innovative heavy engineering planning system that could easily build upon their existing IT structure and help drive Theory of Constraints (TOC) methods.

Kendo jQuery, .NET
Core, NHibernate, MAUI

Problem Statement

TPMS has required a scalable enterprise management system that would present the following capabilities:

• Support synchronized planning and execution in all the business locations.
• Improve the on-time delivery metrics and maximize the overall system throughput.
• Promote the theory of constraints (TOC) principles to bring the teams together and facilitate better decision-making.
• Equip the top management with instructions to coach underlings daily and push for organizational growth.
• Enable dynamic planning, pooling of resources, and monitoring execution.

Project Overview

TPMS needed a full enterprise management solution that could enable planning and execution efficiency, effective real-time cross-departmental and location collaboration, and increased overall throughput. The organization required a system that not only supported the TOC principle but also empowered leadership to coach teams as part of their daily routine. 

Quickway Infosystems created a web-based and mobile-based scheduling software for heavy industry using Kendo jQuery, .NET Core, NHibernate, and MAUI. The system supported top-down engagement that enabled managers to coach subordinates and align daily actions with strategic goals. This ripple effect throughout the organization helped TPMS better manage urgent and critical tasks, sustaining implementation success while improving throughput and delivery metrics

Key Challenges And Solutions

Challenges

Bulk Data Upload: Managing large-scale data uploads without slowing down system performance.
Dynamic Reporting Requirements: Generating reports with flexible structures based on varied datasets
User-Configurable Interface: Offering a customizable user interface to meet diverse user preferences.
Multi-Platform Accessibility: Ensuring the system works seamlessly across both web and mobile platforms.
System Adoption & Usability: Encouraging daily usage by teams at all levels of the organization

Solutions

Implemented multithreading to allow parallel uploads, drastically improving speed and efficiency.
Developed a dynamic function to auto-generate report columns based on incoming data, ensuring tailored outputs.
Designed a flexible UI framework allowing administrators to easily configure grid columns, buttons, and other elements.
Developed responsive web and mobile applications using .NET Core and MAUI to support consistent performance and user experience.
Created an intuitive, TOC-aligned workflow and dashboard that simplifies daily planning, review, and execution for all users.

Solution Implementation

Quickway Infosystems adopted the structured implementation approach to make sure that our clients are provided with performance, utility, and real business value:

Requirement Analysis

Collaborated with stakeholders to understand scheduling issues, reporting needs, and cross-functional gaps. Emphasized alignment with TOC and created systemized workflows for daily operations—a hallmark of any robust custom scheduling system for manufacturers.

Design and Prototyping

Developed a user-friendly configurable interface with responsive grid, role-based access, and dashboard views for a different set of users (managers, team leads, schedulers). Prototypes for designing were presented to the key users so that they could provide early reviews for better usability and a rapid onboarding process.

Development

Developed engineered web and mobile platforms using .NET Core and MAUI, as well as dynamic front-ends with the use of Kendo jQuery. We implemented TOC logic in execution buffers, planning sequences, and priority of tasks. The development process focused on flexibility and performance to process enterprise-level scheduling and reporting jobs.

Testing

Carried out unit, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) through different departments to ascertain usability, scalability, and compatibility with prior ERP and project systems. Test cases were made consistent with real-life use scenarios to test the solution under normal workload settings.

Deployment & Launch

Achieved the effective rollout of the TPMS system into all the sites. Daily usage and coaching features were trained for teams. Post-launch monitoring made it possible to guarantee the smooth and efficient operation of all modules. A phased rollout strategy was employed to minimize operational disruptions and ensure a smooth transition to the new system.

Maintenance & Support

Quickway Infosystems offered future support with regards to enhancements and bug fixes. Ongoing updates were deployed to keep in line with changing business requirements and further value user adoption. A dedicated support team kept the issues proactively resolved, and user feedback was incorporated into further feature improvements.

Results & Achievements

TPMS, deployed by Quickway Infosystems, made the client measurably better by improving alignment, bumping throughput, and instantiating coaching in everyday workflows.

Higher Throughput & Productivity

With the unified platform, there could now be simultaneous planning and implementation in all departments. This coordination made a meaningful impact on incensement of the output from the same set of resources, with simultaneous minimization of delays and improvement in overall system efficiency.

Improved Decision-Making

With the embedded TOC logic and real-time reporting, managers had a more transparent view of the priorities of tasks, bottlenecks, and progress. This resulted in rapid and efficient planning and execution decisions in all levels.

Stronger Team Engagement

TPMS-equipped managers with inbuilt coaching tools that will assist in proactively running daily operations. This top-down leadership enhanced accountability and alignment among teams, hence increasing overall engagement.

Simplified Planning Processes

The solution brought intelligent scheduling capabilities such as the execution buffers, capacity constraint,s and time management capabilities. These facilitated the development of actual schedules with minimum work and errors.

Sustained Implementation Success

As frontline employees obeyed cues from their supervisors, the manager’s use of TPMS bore a ripple effect in the organization. Such behavioral alignment in this way provided for consistent adoption and long-term success

Cross-Functional Visibility & Control

The system enabled diverse stakeholders from various departments to be able to view shared dashboards and task updates. This enhanced cross-functional interfacing reduced communication gaps and contributed to timely interventions.
