Workshop OEE has crossed 80% for the first time — bridal output is now bottlenecked by stone-setting, not casting.
Shah Alam central workshop OEE reached 81.4%, a record, driven by the new automated casting cell. The constraint has shifted to manual stone-setting on bridal sets — meaning further capex on casting will not unlock more throughput.
Adding a second stone-setting bench and accelerating the goldsmith apprentice cohort will move the binding constraint outward and likely add another 5–7% effective bridal capacity ahead of Deepavali.
