Production management for job shops
Schedule, backlog, job cards, drawings, material status, QC, operation timers and shipping on one shared production board. Planners see what is coming. Operators see what to run next.
Runs on a computer in your shop.
Your drawings and job records stay on your storage.
01 The board
Every work center gets a lane. Every job is a card with its drawing, quantities, due date and material status, so the whole shop works from the same picture.
Select a card to see its print. Job 26-1201 was split: 24 panels ship today on traveler 26-1201-A while 16 finish on the laser.
02 Prints
The drawing travels with the job. Operators see the part number, revision, material and routing on the card and the print, so the revision on the floor matches the revision on the order.
Illustrative sample prints. Not for manufacture.
03 How it works
Import your backlog from your ERP export, schedule jobs by work center and day, and check material status before work reaches the floor. Bills of materials, drawings and job packets attach to the card.
Operators open job cards at shop kiosks, view PDF drawings and 3D STEP models, start and stop operation timers, record QC and enter completed quantities. Partial completions print a split traveler that moves with the parts.
Kiosks that keep up with the floor. Several operators can finish work on the same job at the same time. FabTandem merges their updates instead of letting the last person to tap Save overwrite everyone else.
Finished work flows to shipping with packing lists and shipping documents that carry your company's identity. Nothing ships with the FabTandem name on it.
Shipping that closes the loop. Shipping sees exactly what is complete and what is still on the floor. Packing lists come from the job, not from someone retyping it, and every shop keeps its own sender details.
04 Security and controlled data
The Controlled and Defense editions run on hardware you own, inside your network. They are designed to work without any outside connection, so drawings and job packets never leave your environment.
Software alone does not make a shop compliant. Your CUI, ITAR and CMMC status depends on your environment, procedures and assessment. FabTandem is built to support those programs, not to replace them.

06 FAQ
No software can do that on its own. Compliance depends on your whole environment, your procedures and, for CMMC, your assessment. The Controlled and Defense editions give you a production system designed for that environment, plus the documentation you need to show how it fits.
