Manufacturing
Employ the OpenERP Manufacturing module to automate your manufacturing department and integrate it with the rest of your organization. Manage your manufacturing resources, create multi-level bill of materials (BoM), define assembly paths, create production/procurement orders and manage repairs.
Bill of Materials
Prepare single/multi level master bill of materials, define the list of raw materials/sub-products involved in manufacturing of the finished product, structure your bill of materials and retrieve the status of items in the list in a single click. You can define the routes taken to manufacture/assemble a given product and the system will ensure completion of the process and raise exceptions, if any.
Scheduling
Plan your entire manufacturing process in advance using the ‘Compute Schedulers’ function of OpenERP, which is the core of planning. The scheduler is generally programmed to run once a day and computes the requirement using the stock minimum rules defined. The scheduler also organizes manufacturing orders based on priorities and generates purchase orders in case of missing components.
Control
Should there be any exceptions in the process of ordering missing components or scheduling production, the module automatically informs the user about the same. All issues are logged in a central repository from where the user can resolve them, post which the system resumes the process and ensures completion.
Manufacturing
The manufacturing module of OpenERP is well integrated with the other modules to maintain continuity in the business processes. Manufacturing orders provide details on the materials used at each stage of production, while procurement orders ensure continuity by ordering components and automatically to keep up with the manufacturing process. Work orders allow user to define the operations involved in assembling or manufacturing products and thus allow the user to maintain track of manufacturing costs.
The module also facilitates management of repairs. Users can record new repair activities, provide details, approve the repairs, raise invoices and track the process till completion.
