StitchPlan
Production planning and control for a garment exporter running three units and twenty-two sewing lines.
Overview
A constraint planner with a delay-risk model on top. Orders are scheduled backward from the customer required date, and every order carries a 0–100 risk score with the three factors that drove it. Where the model expects an overrun, the Gantt bar extends in hatch — the plan and the forecast are never the same mark.
Specifications
USE CASE
Real-time production planning across 22 sewing lines
WORKFLOW
Plan, schedule, monitor, re-plan
OUTPUT
Delay-risk score 0–100 with its top three contributing reasons
SECURITY
Role views for planner, supervisor and management
Features
- 01Visual Gantt where bar length is quantity divided by line capacity
- 02Delay-risk score per order with the three factors that moved it
- 03Line-utilisation heatmap with the value printed in every cell
- 04Re-plan queue where each suggestion states what it gains and what it costs
- 05Capacity what-if that recomputes real completion dates as you drag

Every screen carries one honest failure record with its recovery path. This is the one buyers remember. A run scored an order at 12/100 because a fabric GRN was logged — the GRN covered 40% of the requirement and the model read it as complete. Partial receipts now carry a quantity ratio and anything under 95% counts as not in- house. A second run refused to propose a line move where every alternative pushed another order past its date; it escalated a capacity shortfall instead of solving one delay by creating another.
