Operations · Outsourcing and job work

Track Every Unit at Your Job Workers

Material sent for job work is tracked by challan, vendor and process until it comes back, is reconciled and is billed.

1Operational impact

What It Costs Today

  • ProductionMaterial beyond the gate

    Sending material out creates exposure: quantity, turnaround, quality, rates and billing can drift apart.

  • StoresChallans on paper

    Nobody can say what is out, with whom, and since when.

  • FinanceBills that do not match receipts

    Job-work charges are paid without checking what came back.

2Milestone capability

What Milestone Does

Each capability works on the same database as the rest of Milestone, so nothing is copied between systems.

  • Job-work ordersBy process and job worker, linked to the production order.
  • Challans for material sentMaterial leaves on a challan raised in Milestone.
  • Receipts backReceived quantity and rejections recorded against the challan.
  • ReconciliationSent, received and pending material for every job worker.
  • Ageing at each job workerHow long material has been out, by vendor.
  • Process charges and billsJob-worker bills checked against what came back.

Everything listed here is available today unless it carries a status tag.
