# PartPace — Manufacturing Operations Software

## Overview

PartPace is a manufacturing operations platform for discrete manufacturers — machine shops, assembly houses, and makers — who need a single, traceable system to run the production floor. It replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, whiteboards, email, and disconnected tools that most manufacturers rely on today.

## The problem PartPace solves

Most manufacturers piece together a dozen tools that were never meant to work together. The result is chaos that costs time, money, and quality every day:

- Work orders buried in email and sticky notes, with no clear status until someone walks the floor
- BOMs scattered across stale spreadsheets with no revision control
- No record of who built what, or when — making traceability and audits a fire drill
- Scrap rates discovered at month-end, not on the floor
- Scheduling conflicts no one catches until a station sits idle or two jobs collide
- Quality inspections on clipboards, if they happen at all, with no digital trail

## What PartPace provides

### Work Order Lifecycle
Track every unit from request through production to installation. Full user attribution at every stage — who requested it, who made it, who installed it.

### Hierarchical Bill of Materials
Build complex assemblies with nested sub-assemblies. Visual breakdown trees show exactly what goes into every product, with revision control for engineering changes.

### Station & Work Center Management
Organize the floor by site and station. Color-code work centers for instant visual identification. Calendar-integrated scheduling keeps every station optimized.

### Intelligent Production Scheduling
Generate optimized manufacturing schedules with a single click. Real-time calendar views show what is happening across every station, with automatic conflict resolution.

### Material Inventory & Tracking
Track raw materials from receipt to consumption. Usage analytics reveal patterns and predict shortages before they happen. Full source tracking for quality control.

### Quality Assurance Workflows
Configure inspection rules for any assembly or part. Digital pass/fail tracking with photo documentation and response history. Isolate bad shipments before they spread.

### Digital Workbench
A unified interface for machinists and assemblers. Step-by-step guidance, material sourcing, scrap reporting, and completion tracking — all from one screen.

### Vendor & Supplier Management
Maintain supplier relationships with contact tracking, material associations, and order history. Know exactly where every component came from.

### Real-time Analytics
Scrap rate trends by station and operator. Material usage histograms. Production throughput metrics. Make decisions based on data, not gut feel.

## How it works

1. **Define your world** — Set up sites, stations, and work centers. Build the parts library and assembly blueprints with full hierarchical BOMs. Configure quality rules and material specifications to match your process.
2. **Run production** — Create work orders from any part or assembly. The Task Director generates optimized schedules. Operators use the Digital Workbench to report progress, consume materials, and log quality data in real time.
3. **Learn & improve** — Review scrap trends, material usage patterns, and station performance. Use real data to refine estimates, adjust schedules, and continuously tighten the operation — week over week, quarter over quarter.

## Why PartPace

- **Complete audit trails** — every action is logged with user attribution; no more digging through paper records
- **Multi-site architecture** — run one, two, or twenty facilities from a single system while each site stays independent
- **Designed for speed** — responsive platform that keeps up with ten jobs or ten thousand
- **Flexible & configurable** — organization settings control audit levels, scanning requirements, and workflow strictness; the system adapts to your process, not the reverse
- **Label & barcode ready** — integrated label printing and scanning for assemblies and materials
- **Granular permissions** — role-based access control with custom permissions

## Key facts

- 100% action traceability
- Under 1 hour to start running
- 24/7 floor visibility
- 0 spreadsheets required to operate
