Development of a Custom Web-Based Job Management System for Manufacturing Optimization

Manufacturing companies often rely on multiple disparate software systems to handle various operational functions, leading to data silos, inefficiencies, and increased management complexity. A lack of centralized task management hampers productivity, resource allocation, and scalability as the business grows. Additionally, integrating new software with existing systems and ensuring reliable, scalable performance remains a significant challenge.
