Factory workflow
A connected production flow from preparation to handoff.
See how materials, tooling, forming, secondary work, inspection, documentation, and packaging can be coordinated around an agreed project route.
Production flow
Each stage prepares the next one.
A coherent factory workflow makes material, tooling, forming, finishing, inspection, documentation, and packaging visible as connected project stages rather than isolated operations.
Connected workflow
Six stages organized around one confirmed project route.
The sequence shows how preparation, forming, secondary work, inspection, and handoff remain connected.
- 01Material preparation
Organize the selected material, identification, handling, and production inputs around the confirmed project route.
- 02Tooling and setup
Prepare tooling, equipment, work instructions, and agreed process checks before forming begins.
- 03Molding and extrusion
Run the selected forming process against the part, material, and inspection context approved for the project.
- 04Secondary operations
Coordinate trimming, finishing, marking, bonding, assembly, and other defined downstream work.
- 05Inspection and documentation
Complete the agreed checks and organize the records required for the production handoff.
- 06Packaging and handoff
Prepare parts, packaging, identification, and agreed deliverables for the next supply-chain stage.
Secondary work
Carry formed components through the defined downstream operations.
Trimming, finishing, marking, bonding, assembly, and packaging preparation are coordinated only where they belong in the agreed product route.
- Secondary operationsCoordinate trimming, finishing, marking, bonding, assembly, and other defined downstream work.
- Inspection and documentationComplete the agreed checks and organize the records required for the production handoff.
- Packaging and handoffPrepare parts, packaging, identification, and agreed deliverables for the next supply-chain stage.
Inspection and handoff
Close the workflow against the agreed release criteria.
Inspection, documentation, identification, packaging, and the final handoff follow the scope confirmed for the project.
