SYNTECH Manufacturing - MES/MRP system for defense production

Defense production cannot depend on Excel files, separate chats, and the knowledge of a few people. When you need to quickly answer what revision an item was assembled to, which batches of components it consists of, or under what license the shipment occurred, the data must be in the system – not in an archive or team's memory.

SYNTECH Manufacturing is an MES/MRP system on the Creatio platform for defense product manufacturers and MilTech companies. It unites demand and plan, engineering data, shop floor, warehouse, quality, contracts, and shipments in a single database.

What MES for defense production should cover

For a MilTech manufacturer, it's not enough to simply manage production orders. The system must link data across the entire cycle: from specification and material requirements - to acceptance, serial number, and shipping documents.

In SYNTECH Manufacturing, the following contours are available for this:

• planning and MRP - production plan, calculation of requirements based on specifications, orders, and purchase requisitions;

• engineering data - specifications, routings, revisions, change notices, and import from CAD/PDM;

• shop floor - operator's workstation, shift assignments, Andon signals, work center monitoring, and OEE;

• quality - incoming, in-process, and final control, non-conformities, CAPA, 8D, and test protocols;

• warehouse and procurement - cell storage, batches, serial numbers, FIFO/FEFO, incoming goods inspection;

• traceability and recall - search by serial number or batch in both directions, blocking and recall;

• contracts, military acceptance, and export control - delivery schedules, advances, acceptance acts, licenses, end-user verification, and end-use certificates.

From serial number to product history - in minutes

A single serial number in SYNTECH Manufacturing is linked to the specification revision, component batches, supplier certificates, operations and performers, inspection results, acceptance act, and shipment.

This helps the team quickly assemble an electronic dossier of a specific product, rather than restoring it from invoices, paper journals, and correspondence. If a problem is detected, related products can be found, blocked, or recalled with a single action.

Planning without a gap between shop floor, warehouse, and procurement

MRP calculates material requirements based on specifications. The production plan, orders, and purchase requisitions are formed in a single contour, so the team sees the dependency between the plan, material availability, and work centers.

For operational control, a Gantt chart with dependencies, statuses, and work center loading is available, as well as an order queue with promised dates. This allows the production manager to rely on the actual status of orders and operations, not just on manual summaries at the end of the week.

Specification revisions under control

In defense production, an error with a revision means a risk of assembling a product using outdated data. SYNTECH Manufacturing stores specifications and routings with revisions, supports change notices, and allows transferring current technical maps to the operator's workstation.

This way, it's possible to trace exactly which revision a specific serial product was assembled to, and separate the history of an old revision from a new one.

Quality and compliance - not a separate file

Quality control in the system covers incoming, in-process, and final inspections. For these, control criteria, actual measurement values, statuses, comments, and the final result can be maintained. Non-conformities, CAPA, and 8D help to record the problem and conduct corrective actions in the same contour as production.

On its product page, SYNTECH indicates that it has aligned the solution with 29 business requirements of Ukrainian defense production: 25 requirements are fully met, 2 - partially, 2 - not met. Among the openly named limitations are the absence of a register of state secret access permissions and catalog synchronization with DOT-Chain Defence. This is important to consider when evaluating the system for a specific enterprise.

Deployment within your perimeter

SYNTECH Manufacturing runs on the Creatio platform and can be deployed on-premise or in a private cloud. The system has roles, access rights, and audit logs. Thanks to Creatio's low-code tools, administrators can change fields, business processes, pages, rights, and reports without involving the vendor for every change.

For a defense manufacturer, this means the ability to build an operational digital contour within their own infrastructure and adapt it to the enterprise's processes.

Who will benefit from MES/MRP MilTech from SYNTECH

SYNTECH Manufacturing is designed for teams that need to synchronize engineering, production, warehouse, quality, and contracts.

• Production Director - to see the order queue, promised dates, overdue items, and actual shift performance.

• Chief Engineer and Technologist - to manage specifications, routings, revisions, and changes.

• Head of Quality and Compliance - to manage control, non-conformities, traceability, and electronic product dossier.

• IT Manager - to work with a single database instead of multiple systems and exchanges between them, and to deploy the solution within their own perimeter.

How to evaluate the system in your scenario

The best way to check MES for defense production is to go through one real route: from specification and planning to serial number, quality control, and shipment. During a demo, the SYNTECH team can show this scenario using your order as an example and directly explain which requirements the product covers and which require a separate solution.
