project presentation

Flat Experts remanufactures engines as part of a circular economy approach: recovery, disassembly, reconditioning of sub-assemblies, reassembly and return to service.

Challenges

Production tracked in Excel, on paper and in management software not designed for the workshop.
No real-time visibility on engine progress or bottlenecks.
Insufficient traceability of parts and sub-assemblies.
Inventory and stock valuation handled manually.

Solutions

turnK designed an Odoo application dedicated to the workshop, built for the shop floor:

Intake: engine identification by serial number, mandatory photo.
Diagnostics: 83-point inspection checklist.
Production: manufacturing orders and sub-assemblies, barcode scanning at key steps.
Quality: quality control and metrology, customer approval before reassembly.
Management: quotes, deposits, min/max inventory and valuation, invoicing and accounting.

What changes

One tool for the workshop, inventory and invoicing.
Step-by-step tracking of every engine.
No more Excel production trackers.

Flat Experts now has an ERP built for its workshop and ready to support its growth.
