Every mould, every shot,
every PPAP element.
Built for moulders supplying OEMs, where the tooling is the asset, the PPAP pack is the licence to ship, and the FY26–27 regulatory wall is already visible. Shot life, submission status, substance declarations and returnable assets on one record.
An industry accelerator on the Prabandh platform — the same ERP, PLM, CRM and QMS core every other industry runs on.
The problem
You mould parts for OEMs, and the tooling is the balance sheet.
The tool is your largest asset, and its remaining life lives in someone’s head.
Shot counts sit in a supervisor’s notebook, so a tool nearing end of life is discovered when a part goes out of tolerance rather than before. The PPAP pack gets assembled from email the week the customer asks for it. And the FY26–27 regulatory wall — EPR, CBAM, REACH substance declarations — is arriving at an operation that answers compliance questions by searching an inbox.
You will recognise these
- Nobody can say what percentage of rated life a given tool has left
- A PPAP submission stalls because one of the 18 elements cannot be found
- A customer asks for an SVHC declaration and it takes three days
- Returnable crates leave and some quietly never come back
- The IATF surveillance audit is prepared for, rather than simply evidenced
What it costs when it goes wrong
A tool that fails mid-programme is a line-stop at the customer’s plant — recovered from you, at their rate, not yours. A PPAP that slips delays SOP, and SOP dates are contractual.
How Prabandh fixes it
- 01
Shot life tracked against the tool, with alerts that cannot be missed
Every shot is logged against the mould, and the 80%, 90% and 100% alerts fire from a database trigger rather than a scheduled job — so a cron that failed overnight cannot silently skip a maintenance window.
- 02
PPAP as a live record, not a folder
All 18 AIAG elements per part per customer, each with its own status. The question stops being “where is the pack” and becomes “which element is open”, which is answerable in one screen.
- 03
Substance data attached to the part it describes
IMDS composition down to the substance, so REACH SVHC exposure is a query against the part rather than a reconstruction. CBAM shipments and EPR credits are records from the day they happen, not the week the return is due.
- 04
Returnable assets traced through RFID
A crate is followed plant → transit → line-side → back, with out-of-bounds anomalies raised on movement rather than found at the annual count.
What changes
An OEM audit question — which tool made this part, to which PPAP revision, with what substance declaration — is answered from one record while they are still in the room.
Six capabilities you would otherwise build yourself.
Everything below is on top of the shared core — not instead of it.
Mould Life, Tracked to the Shot
Every shot logged against the tool. Alerts fire automatically at 80%, 90% and 100% of rated life — from a database trigger, so a missed cron cannot silently skip a maintenance window.
PPAP with All 18 AIAG Elements
The full AIAG 4th-edition submission pack per part per customer — design records through the Part Submission Warrant — each element with its own status, plus the bulk-material requirements checklist where it applies. The question is never which element is missing.
PFMEA with Live RPN
Failure modes, severity, occurrence and detection, with the risk priority number computed rather than typed. Feeds the control plan that governs the characteristic.
IMDS & REACH Declarations
Material composition down to the substance, with SVHC exposure answerable per part — the question a European customer asks with a deadline attached.
CBAM & EPR
Carbon border shipments and extended-producer-responsibility credits as first-class records, not a spreadsheet assembled the week the return is due.
RFID Crate Pooling
Trace a returnable asset from plant to line-side and back, with out-of-bounds anomalies raised automatically on movement.
Eight integrated modules. One login.
Mould Master
Tooling register, shot log, PM schedule, refurbishment history.
Customer Parts
Part master per OEM, with drawings, revisions and where-used.
APQP Projects
Phase-gate progress against the customer SOP commitment.
Compliance Audits
IATF and customer audits, nonconformances and CAPA.
Regulatory Obligations
Due-date register with overdue, due-soon and on-track states.
BIS Certifications
Licence register with expiry alerts before the renewal window closes.
8D Reports
Structured problem solving linked to the nonconformance it closes.
ERP Core
GST invoicing, inventory, purchase, accounting and payroll.
The frameworks this industry is audited against.
Substance, submission and licence data live in the same record as the part they describe — so an audit question is a query, not a search through email.
A capability built for one reaches the rest.
The lifecycle freeze protecting a released drawing is the same one protecting an issued tech pack. The batch genealogy behind a food recall is the same engine behind fibre supplier-lot traceability.
Where we stop today
The honest boundary for plastic manufacturing, so you hear it here rather than three weeks into an evaluation. Everything above is built and reachable; everything below is not.
- OEM EDI — schedule releases (DELFOR/DELJIT) and despatch advices (ASN) are not built. Today a release is entered, not received.
- Customer-specific shipping label standards (AIAG B-10, Odette) are not generated.
- IMDS composition is held as a record; the upload to the IMDS portal is still manual.
- Tooling amortisation recovery per part is tracked as cost, not as an amortisation schedule.
Several of these are scoped and buildable on the shared core — ask, and we will tell you what it would take rather than whether it is “on the roadmap”.
