Run the shop floor, not just the books

LekhaPro Manufacturing is a Cloud-edition plant ERP: work centres, routings and multi-level BOMs feeding a deterministic MRP, a finite-capacity scheduling board, production orders closed to actual-vs-standard variance in integer paise, QMS with batch traceability and cascading recall, OEE per shift and a CMMS register — the shop floor, not just a production voucher.

How it works

  • Plan the material, then the machine

    An MRP run explodes demand through the BOM graph level by level — gross requirement, netting against on-hand and on-order, then a planned order classified make or buy, with BOM scrap inflating each component. The finite-capacity scheduler then places every work-order operation on a work centre: lanes for parallel machines, operation sequence respected, release times honoured, and anything finishing past your horizon flagged late.

  • Release, book, close, cost

    A production order carries the standard cost it was released at. Operators book labour and machine minutes with completed and rejected quantity against each work order, material issues prefill from the BOM, and closing rolls the actual material and operation cost into a per-unit actual and the variance against standard — in integer paise, on machine-hour-rate convention.

  • Quality, traceability and change control

    Incoming, in-process and final inspections; NCRs with severity and disposition; CAPAs with root cause and action plan; QMS instruments, inspection and sampling plans and COA certificates. Batches and serial numbers carry a genealogy trace, and a recall cascades to every downstream batch — with engineering change requests and change orders governing the revision that caused it.

  • Measure the plant, not the guesswork

    OEE as Availability × Performance × Quality per shift record, banded world-class, acceptable or needs-attention, with a per-machine trend; a live shop-floor board with machine status, operator clock-in and pace against target; a CMMS maintenance register; and a Factory Health Scorecard folding six weighted pillars into one 0–100 score and an A–F grade — a pillar it cannot measure is excluded and the weights renormalised, never assumed to be perfect.

Industrial land goes through a different body in every state

A factory's first landlord is usually a state corporation: MIDC in Maharashtra, GIDC in Gujarat, SIPCOT in Tamil Nadu and their counterparts allot the estates most plants stand on, set the water and infrastructure terms, and run the transfer process when a unit changes hands. The table below names that body for every state we publish a city page in, sourced and dated — context for expansion planning, honestly labelled: LekhaPro runs the plant and does not apply for plots, incentives or approvals on your behalf.

Manufacturing software by city

The software is identical in each — these pages exist because the local trade and the state facts differ, not because the product does. Nothing is city-locked.

What it does not do

  • · Cloud-only — the pack runs in a browser. The offline desktop edition carries its own smaller BOM-production-costing workflow; the two do not sync.
  • · No machine or IoT drivers wired — the device registry, telemetry landing zone and OPC-UA/SCADA connector records are an ingest seam; readings arrive through the app today.
  • · No native shop-floor mobile app — a touch-first shop-floor web surface with an offline browser action queue stands in.
  • · It does not file GST returns or ITC-04, and it does not apply for plots or incentives with the state industrial body.
  • · No payroll or HR, no automated Tally import, and no branch offices — support is online from an India-based team.

Questions buyers ask

How is this different from your accounting software for manufacturers?

That page describes the offline desktop edition — a bill of materials, production, stock and costing for a small unit. This is the cloud Manufacturing pack: MRP, finite-capacity scheduling, a shop-floor board, QMS, traceability, OEE and CMMS, enabled from Business Add-ons in the browser app. It does not run in, or sync to, the offline desktop edition.

Can I trust the MRP and costing numbers?

Yes. The MRP explosion, the standard and actual cost roll-ups, OEE, the finite-capacity scheduler and the factory scorecard are pure engines — no clock read, no randomness — unit-tested against hand-worked examples, so a re-run on the same data reproduces exactly. The server recomputes every BOM cost roll-up; a client total is never trusted.

Does it talk to machines and IoT?

It ships the architecture, not the wiring. There is a device, sensor and gateway registry, a telemetry landing zone, connector records for OPC-UA/SCADA/MES, a digital-twin read-model and predictive maintenance that scores telemetry against warning and critical bands and estimates readings-to-breach. Real protocol adapters push into the same ingest seam — today readings arrive through the app, not from a driver on the PLC.

Is there a shop-floor mobile app?

There is a touch-first shop-floor web surface — scan a code to resolve the entity and its actions, work a role’s task feed, and queue actions in the browser when the network drops. Native mobile apps are out of scope for this build.

Who allots industrial land, and does the software deal with them?

The state industrial development body — MIDC, GIDC, SIPCOT, KIADB and their counterparts — and the table on this page names them per state with sources. LekhaPro does not apply for plots, incentives or approvals; the table is context for expansion planning, stated so nobody mistakes software for a liaison office.

How does job work run between vendor and OEM?

Job work and subcontract operations are modelled in the pack, material issues and returns reconcile against the order, and the e-way bill JSON for material moving to a job worker generates from the underlying document. The ITC-04 return itself stays with you or your CA — prepared-from, never filed-for.

Can it survive a customer audit?

The records an auditor asks for are first-class data: incoming, in-process and final inspections, NCRs with disposition, CAPAs with root cause, COA certificates, and batch/serial genealogy that cascades a recall to every downstream lot — with engineering change control governing the revision history. The trail is the point.

What does it cost?

Cloud plans are ₹249, ₹449 and ₹2,499 a month (yearly = two months free), and the Manufacturing pack is enabled per company from Business Add-ons. GST-inclusive totals are on the pricing page.

Is OEE just a vanity number here?

No — it is computed per shift record as Availability × Performance × Quality, banded, trended per machine and backed by a downtime Pareto, and the Factory Health Scorecard excludes any pillar it cannot measure and renormalises the weights rather than assuming perfection. An honest 61% beats a flattering 85%.

Why separate city pages for manufacturing ERP?

Because plants cluster — Pune's auto tiers, Coimbatore's pumps, Rajkot's engineering, Raipur's steel — and each cluster imposes its own quality regime and job-work pattern, while the land itself comes from a different state body in every state. Each city page carries that context with sources; the software is identical everywhere.
