OpEx Suite – Operations Excellence Suite
Digitize Kaizen & 6S Workplace Audits with OpEx Suite
The all-in-one Operational Excellence platform for modern factories. Eliminate paper checklists, democratize shopfloor ideas, enforce QR proof-of-presence audits, and report ESG carbon offsets with boardroom clarity.
Why Traditional Paper & Excel Systems Fail Modern Plants
Manual clipboards and disconnected spreadsheets silently drain plant productivity, create compliance blindspots, and demoralize operators.
The "Ghost Audit" Problem
Auditors complete paper sheets at their desks without walking the line. OpEx Suite mandates station QR scans for physical proof-of-presence.
Forgotten Suggestion Boxes
Operators submit Kaizen slips into wooden boxes that sit unreviewed for months. OpEx Suite delivers automated status notifications and leaderboards.
Audit Panic & Excel Chaos
When external ISO or customer auditors arrive, plant teams scramble for days compiling binders. OpEx Suite produces instant, timestamped historical logs.
Unquantified ESG Impact
Shopfloor energy and scrap reductions are rarely translated into corporate Scope 2 carbon savings. OpEx Suite computes boardroom-ready Net-Zero scorecards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about deploying and operating OpEx Suite in your plant.
How does OpEx Suite help manufacturing companies achieve ISO and IATF compliance?
OpEx Suite directly automates the rigorous documentation required for ISO 9001 (Clauses 10.2 & 10.3 Continuous Improvement), IATF 16949 (Clause 7.1.3.1 Plant 6S Organization & Mistake-Proofing), ISO 14001 (Clause 8.1 Environmental Operational Controls & Waste Ledger), and ISO 45001 (Hazard Identification & Workplace Safety). Every audit observation, photo defect, and Kaizen closure produces a timestamped, role-verified digital audit trail that auditors can inspect in seconds.
How does the Mobile PWA work on factory shopfloors with weak Wi-Fi?
OpEx Suite incorporates an offline-first Progressive Web App (PWA) engine. 6S Champions and line operators can complete 20-question checklists and annotate defect photos in deep basements, metal-clad sheds, or warehouse corners with zero internet connection. All responses and image blobs are encrypted in local device storage and automatically synchronize to the server the moment the device reconnects to plant Wi-Fi.
What is the Station QR Code Proof-of-Presence system?
To eliminate 'desk audits' where auditors fill checklists without physically visiting machines, OpEx Suite generates dynamic cryptographic QR codes for each physical station. The 6S Champion must scan the station QR code using their mobile camera to unlock that zone's audit checklist, guaranteeing 100% physical presence on the shopfloor.
How does the ESG & Carbon Savings Calculator measure factory impact?
The ESG Calculator Add-on translates shopfloor resource reductions (kWh power saved from VFD/air-leak Kaizens, kg sheet metal scrap diverted, kL water conserved) into Scope 2 GHG metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) using national grid emission factors (0.82 kg CO2/kWh). It generates boardroom-ready metrics including equivalent trees planted and vehicles offset for corporate BRSR and sustainability reporting.
How is OpEx Suite deployed and hosted?
OpEx Suite is deployed on a dedicated high-performance Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server) or enterprise private cloud server configured specifically for your manufacturing facility. This ensures complete data isolation, maximum operational speed, encrypted automated backups, and zero reliance on shared multi-tenant databases.
How does LMS central licensing protect my enterprise deployment?
OpEx Suite verifies enterprise authenticity through the Sanchit Solutions Central LMS Licensing Gateway via HMAC-SHA256 encrypted tokens and domain binding. To ensure zero operational downtime during telecom outages, the platform includes an intelligent 7-day offline grace period cache that guarantees uninterrupted plant audits.
What user roles are supported in OpEx Suite?
OpEx Suite provides 7 purpose-built role workflows: SuperAdmin (Plant IT & Executive), Plant Coordinator (Kaizen scheduling & verification), Department HOD (Technical feasibility approval), Zone User / Operator (Idea submission), 6S Super Admin (Checklist master setup), 6S Champion (Shopfloor auditor), and Zone Owner (Reviewer & CAPA sign-off).
