Manufacturing ERP software in Ludhiana
Yes — LekhaPro's Manufacturing pack runs a Ludhiana plant: work centres and multi-level BOMs feeding a deterministic MRP, finite-capacity scheduling, production orders with actual-vs-standard cost variance, QMS with batch traceability and recall, and OEE per shift. Industrial land around Ludhiana is allotted by PSIEC — Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation (psiec.punjab.gov.in), which is where most units here got their plot. Cloud edition, any browser.

The Ludhiana trade, honestly
Hosiery and knitwear on one side, cycles, cycle parts, fasteners and hand tools on the other — Ludhiana’s factories cluster in the Focal Point phases allotted by PSIEC. Much of the output is job work: a cycle-parts unit may forge, plate and pack for several brands in the same week, which makes challan-level material accounting and thin-margin costing the difference between profit and drift. Knitwear runs are seasonal and colour-and-size heavy, suiting multi-level BOMs and MRP, while older forging and plating lines reward shift-wise OEE tracking and planned maintenance.
What a Ludhiana manufacturer gets
- Work centres, machines, routings & multi-level BOMs
- Deterministic MRP explosion — scrap-aware netting, make/buy
- Production orders → work orders → material issues → close
- Production planning and demand planning ahead of the MRP run
- Actual-vs-standard cost variance on every order
- Finite-capacity scheduling board, shifts & conflict detection
- Supplier-quality scoring on incoming inspections
- Inspections, NCRs, CAPAs, QMS instruments & COA certificates
- Batch & serial traceability with cascading recall
- OEE per shift, downtime Pareto & machine analytics
- CMMS maintenance, tool & die, waste/scrap and energy registers
- Eleven-element cost sheet with per-unit cost, margin and variance
- Job work & subcontract, engineering change, controlled engineering docs
- An executive dashboard over the plant, and an Industry-4.0 shop-floor read
Plans are ₹249, ₹449 and ₹2,499 a month — GST-inclusive totals on pricing. New to the terms? Place of supply decides the tax head on every invoice, and goods movements may need an e-way bill.
What it does not do — in Ludhiana or anywhere
- · The Manufacturing pack is Cloud-only — it runs in a browser. The offline desktop edition has its own smaller BOM-production-costing workflow for a single Ludhiana unit; the two do not sync.
- · No machine or IoT drivers are wired — the device registry, telemetry landing zone and OPC-UA/SCADA connector records ship as an ingest seam; readings arrive through the app today.
- · No native shop-floor mobile app — there is a touch-first shop-floor web surface with scan-to-resolve and an offline action queue in the browser.
- · It does not file GST returns or ITC-04 for you — documents post to the books; submission stays with you or your CA.
- · No office in Ludhiana — sales and support are online (email and WhatsApp) from an India-based team, with no local branch, reseller or on-site visit.
- · No payroll, attendance or HR module — staff salaries and professional tax stay with your CA, in Punjab as everywhere.
Questions Ludhiana manufacturers ask
Does the Manufacturing pack work for a Ludhiana plant?
Yes. Work centres, machines, routings and multi-level BOMs model the plant; a deterministic MRP run explodes demand into make-or-buy planned orders; and the finite-capacity board places every operation on a work centre with late work flagged. It is a Cloud pack — the offline desktop edition has its own smaller production workflow for a single unit.
Who allots industrial land around Ludhiana?
PSIEC — Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation (psiec.punjab.gov.in) (PSIEC official site (Govt of Punjab), checked 2026-08-05) — the body behind most industrial estates in Punjab. That is context for expansion planning; LekhaPro does not apply for plots or incentives, and we would rather say so than imply a liaison service.
Can I trust the MRP and costing numbers?
Yes — the MRP explosion, cost roll-ups, OEE and the scheduler are pure engines with no clock reads or randomness, unit-tested against hand-worked examples, so the same data reproduces the same answer every run. The server recomputes every BOM cost roll-up; a client total is never trusted.
What does a production order actually track?
The standard cost it was released at, then reality: operators book labour and machine minutes with completed and rejected quantities, material issues prefill from the BOM, and closing rolls actual material and operation cost into a per-unit actual with the variance against standard — in integer paise. The eleven-element cost sheet shows where the margin went.
How deep does quality and traceability go?
Incoming, in-process and final inspections; NCRs with severity and disposition; CAPAs with root cause; instruments, sampling plans and COA certificates. Batches and serials carry a genealogy trace, and a recall cascades to every downstream batch — with engineering change requests governing the revision that caused it. For a Ludhiana vendor facing a customer audit, that trail is the audit.
Does it measure OEE honestly?
OEE is computed as Availability × Performance × Quality per shift record and banded — world-class, acceptable, needs attention — with a per-machine trend and a downtime Pareto. The Factory Health Scorecard folds six weighted pillars into one 0–100 score, and a pillar it cannot measure is excluded with weights renormalised rather than assumed perfect.
How is job work handled — and its paperwork?
Job work and subcontract operations are modelled in the pack, and material moving to a job worker within Punjab needs an e-way bill above ₹1,00,000 (fabric moved ≤50 km for job work exempt at any value) (Ntf. PA/ETC/2018/175 (13-09-2018) · pextax.com, checked 2026-08-05) — generated from the underlying document. The ITC-04 return itself stays with you or your CA.
What about machine maintenance?
A CMMS register carries the maintenance schedule and history alongside tool-and-die, waste/scrap and energy registers — so downtime has a paper trail and the machine that eats the schedule shows up in its own numbers rather than in operator folklore.
Does it connect to our machines?
Not yet with live drivers, and we say that plainly: a device, sensor and gateway registry, a telemetry landing zone and OPC-UA/SCADA/MES connector records ship as the ingest seam, with predictive maintenance scoring whatever readings arrive. Today readings come through the app, not from the PLC.
How do we try it on our Ludhiana shop floor?
14 days free, no card. Model one product's real BOM and routing, run the MRP against a live order book, and release one production order through to close — the actual-versus-standard variance on that first order tells you more than any demo. We sell and support online only, with no Ludhiana branch. Local context: Hosiery and knitwear on one side, cycles, cycle parts, fasteners and hand tools on the other — Ludhiana’s factories cluster in the Focal Point phases allotted by PSIEC.
