A system for manufacturing refers to the structured set of processes, tools, technologies, and resources used to produce goods from raw materials. It encompasses all stages of production, from planning and procurement to assembly, quality control, and delivery of the finished product. By integrating efficient workflows and automation, such a system significantly enhances manufacturing efficiency, reducing delays, minimizing errors, and optimizing resource utilization. This ensures smoother operations, lower costs, and higher-quality outputs, ultimately improving both productivity and profitability across the manufacturing process.
Workflow System for Manufacturing
- Draft
Start by creating a manufacturing order, which will initially be in the draft stage. At this stage, click on Product, Quantity Produced, and Warehouse. These selections will determine where the stock components are sourced and the destination for the finished product.
- Confirm
When the Material Orders have been confirmed, the status will change to ‘Confirmed.’ At this stage, the components defined in the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the product will be displayed.
At this stage, you can adjust the components to be consumed by following these steps:
- Click Unlock.
- Edit and modify the quantity in the To Consume field.
- Click Save.
- Then, lock it again by clicking Lock.
In the Confirmed stage, you can also modify the quantity of goods to be produced. This change will automatically adjust the materials to be consumed, following the Bill of Materials (BoM) and multiplying it by the updated quantity to produce.
3. Produce
At this stage, start by clicking the Produce button. A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to re-enter the quantity to produce. If the quantity entered in the pop-up differs from the value specified in the form, the system will adjust the final result based on the value entered in the pop-up.
However, the finished goods quantity will differ from the value specified in the Material Orders form.
- Mark as Done
When performing an unbuild order, you can choose whether to include the manufacturing order number. If you opt to include the manufacturing order number, the returned parts will correspond to the components listed in the Material Orders for that specific manufacturing order.
automation, such a system significantly enhances manufacturing efficiency, reducing delays, minimizing errors, and optimizing resource utilization. This ensures smoother operations, lower costs, and higher-quality outputs, ultimately improving both productivity and profitability across the manufacturing process.
If the manufacturing order is not used, the system will automatically use the component composition defined in the Bill of Materials (BoM).
