Planning & Scheduling

Project Planning & Scheduling

From a simple task list or Kanban board to a full critical-path Gantt, OpsNova's planning layer adapts to your team's complexity — whether you're running a two-week R&D sprint or a six-month reactor fabrication project.

  • 📋

    Tasks, Subtasks & Kanban Board

    Create tasks from templates or from scratch. Drag-and-drop Kanban lanes — To Do, In Progress, On Hold, Done — with assignees, due dates, and attachments visible on phone and desktop.

  • 📅

    Gantt Chart & Critical Path

    Visualise multi-phase project timelines with dependency arrows. Automatic critical-path highlighting shows which tasks will delay dispatch if they slip. T2+.

  • 🏭

    Machine Capacity Board

    See every work centre's load across the planning horizon. Drag operations between machines to resolve over-allocation without re-entering data. T2+.

  • 🏁

    Milestone Tracking

    Set project milestones with customer-visible or internal flags. Milestone breaches trigger automatic WhatsApp alerts to the project manager and customer contact. T2+.

Materials

Materials & Resource Tracking

Complete material management from engineering BOM through to goods receipt — with structured procurement, heat-number traceability, and full lineage from purchase order to finished project.

  • 🌳

    Multi-level BOM

    Build BOMs up to five levels deep with sub-assemblies, alternate items, and per-operation material allocations. Import from Excel or auto-generate from drawings. T2+.

  • 📐

    Material Requirements & Planning

    Explode the project BOM against the schedule to generate a consolidated material requirement list with current stock netting and suggested purchase quantities. T2+.

  • 🛒

    Procurement & Purchase Orders

    Raise RFQs to multiple vendors, compare quotes, issue POs, and track delivery against committed dates. Three-way matching: PO / GRN / Invoice. T2+.

  • 📦

    GRN & Material Traceability

    Goods Receipt Notes capture heat numbers, lot numbers, and test certificates at inward. Trace any material to its purchase order, inspection record, and job it was consumed in. T2+.

Quality

Quality & Compliance

From task-level QC checklists to third-party inspection gating, OpsNova's quality layer enforces your review and approval regime without paper trails or email chains — across engineering, fabrication, and R&D projects alike.

📝

QC Checklists & NCR

Define inspection checklists per operation type. Failing a checkpoint auto-raises a Non-Conformance Report with root cause field, disposition options (Accept / Rework / Reject), and corrective action tracking. T2+.

📊

NCR Pareto Analysis

Aggregated NCR data plotted as a Pareto chart by defect type, work centre, operator, and material lot. Identify your top-3 defect sources and trend them month-on-month. T2+.

📈

Project Dashboards & Reports

Real-time project health dashboards — task completion rate, milestone burndown, overdue items, and team workload at a glance. Export summary reports to PDF or share a live link with stakeholders. T2+.

ETO / T3

H / W / R Hold Point System

Third-party inspection gating built directly into the project schedule. No operation can proceed past a Hold Point without the correct clearance — the system physically prevents job card advancement.

H Point
H

HOLD

Hard stop. Absolutely no work proceeds until the TPIA inspector physically attends and provides written sign-off. The job card remains locked in the system until the hold is cleared with an authorised signature.

W Point
W

WITNESS

The inspector must attend the activity or issue a formal written waiver. If the inspector cannot attend and chooses to waive, the waiver document is attached to the ITP record before work continues.

R Point
R

REVIEW

Remote document review. The responsible document (drawing, WPS, test report) is submitted digitally to the reviewer. Work may continue after submission unless the reviewer raises an objection within the agreed response window.

ETO & Documentation

Engineer-to-Order projects live and die by their documentation. OpsNova automates the paper mountain — drawing registers, ITP sign-offs, and the final MDR package assembled without manual compiling.

  • 📐

    Drawing Revision Control

    Full drawing register with revision history (A, B, C … or 0, 1, 2 …), status codes (IFA / IFC / As-Built), and automatic supersession. Operators always see the current revision; previous revisions are archived but accessible.

  • 📋

    ITP Tracker

    Inspection & Test Plan created at project start, linked to each operation in the project schedule. Every H/W/R point tracked against planned vs actual inspection date with signatory log.

  • 📁

    MDR Auto-Assembly

    Manufacturer's Document Register compiled automatically from all QC records, test reports, material certificates, and ITP sign-offs attached during production. Generate a complete, indexed PDF package for dispatch with one click.

  • 🤝

    Sub-contractor Portal

    Invite sub-contractors to a restricted portal to submit progress updates, upload test reports, and receive hold point notifications — without giving them access to your full project data.

5-Level Project Hierarchy

OpsNova structures every project with five nesting levels. Each level has its own status tracking, owner assignment, and progress rollup — giving managers a clear view from portfolio down to individual operation log entries.
