Production & Fabrication Manager

Production & Fabrication Management for Project-Based Industries

Fabricate to the project plan, at the planned cost.

ProjectVIEW ERP is not a production tool beside the ERP. It is one integrated system where production orders start from design data in Tekla, StruSoft, Statica or SolidWorks and are linked to the BoQ or BoM item, the WBS activity, the cost code and the company accounts. The BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes structure weaves site, project and company data into one consistent record, with the integrity that ProjectVIEW AI needs to give reliable forecasts, alerts and answers.

Capacity is checked first, material and subcontract demand is triggered just in time, and the cost of each component is tracked against the budget. Actual hours and cost per component refine the production templates for the next project.

What does a production and fabrication manager do in a project-based company?

A production and fabrication manager turns project demand into fabricated components, both on time and at the planned cost. In ProjectVIEW ERP, each production order is linked to the BoQ or BoM item as well as the WBS activity and the cost code. It is also linked to the design data it comes from. Capacity, material and cost per component are therefore visible before production starts. It works in the same way for steel and precast yards, hull blocks, offshore modules, mining structures and engineer-to-order products.

  • Plan production: schedule production per project, based on design data as well as capacity.
  • Supply: then trigger material and subcontract demand just in time.
  • Control: finally, track fabrication progress and cost against the project budget.

How ProjectVIEW ERP supports production and fabrication managers

01
Can we plan from design data?
Because ProjectVIEW ERP integrates with Tekla, StruSoft, Statica, SolidWorks and more, production planning is project-centric and starts from BoQs or BoMs. Materials & Production Management
02
Do we have the capacity?
Production capacity is checked before new demand is accepted, so bottlenecks show early. Materials & Production Management
03
Are labor and subcontractors ready?
Labor, subcontractors and expenses are assigned to production orders before work starts. HRMS & Payroll
04
Will material arrive in time?
Material and subcontract acquisition is triggered from production demand, so production runs just in time. Procurement and Purchasing
05
What does each component cost?
Fabrication cost is tracked against the project budget and schedule, so overruns per component show early. Cost Control
06
Can we reuse what works?
Production planning templates are saved and then reused for recurring work. Materials and Production AI Agent

FAQ

FAQ: Production & Fabrication Manager

Talk to our expert

Questions about your role or your industry? Talk to a subject-matter expert who implements ProjectVIEW ERP.

Which design tools does ProjectVIEW ERP integrate with?

Tekla, StruSoft, Statica, SolidWorks and more, so production plans start from design quantities.

How do I track fabrication progress and cost?

Progress and cost are recorded per production order and component, and then compared with the project budget and schedule.

How do BoM and routings link to project cost?

Each BoM line and routing step is linked to the WBS activity and the cost code, so production cost rolls up to the project.

Does it support offsite and modular manufacturing?

Yes, the Materials & Production Management module covers prefabrication as well as modular or offsite manufacturing (OSM).

Which industries does this cover?

Construction, shipbuilding and repair, marine and offshore, mining and quarrying, as well as project-based manufacturing. The same production planning logic also applies in each, whether the scope is a BoQ, a BoM or a work package.
