Factory OS

Production planning and task management for a tier-1 apparel manufacturer — replacing Excel with automated milestone planning, SOP gate enforcement, and real-time visibility.

Client:Tier-1 apparel manufacturer supplying global sportswear brands (NDA)

// Production planning — milestone timeline, SOP gates and live capacity

// the numbers

Figures from the engagement, shared under NDA.

We publish them unchanged and can’t break them down any further here. The reference build you can open runs entirely on sample data.

295+Live Orders
31+API Endpoints
01Overview

What it does — and which part of it we built.

Full-stack production planning system with dual-track milestone engine (date-triggered + event-triggered), 9 mandatory SOP quality gates, capacity simulation with what-if scenarios, Gantt chart visualization, and role-adaptive dashboards.

Seeded with 295 real production orders across 9 departments.

02The screens

Every screen here is from the reference build, not the client’s system.

The captions say what you are looking at. Every name and record on them is sample data.

03How it is built

The stack was picked per constraint, not per house habit.

5 technologies across 3 layers — the shape of the stack follows the problem.
