Manufacturing and Production Management
Materials, production, quality and costing connected to the sales and finance side of the business.
The business problem
Production is planned on paper while sales promises dates it cannot verify. Material shortages surface mid-run, actual cost per unit is unknown until much later, and rejections are recorded informally if at all.
Core capabilities
- Multi-level BOM with versions and wastage
- Production planning against demand and capacity
- Work orders with assignment and progress
- Material issue, consumption and WIP tracking
- Quality checks with defects and corrective action
- Job work and subcontracting
- Production costing with standard versus actual
- Batch, lot and serial traceability
How we deliver it
Document the real production sequence including job work
Build BOMs, routings and wastage norms
Phase in work orders, then quality, then costing
Validate costing against a completed batch
Customisation
BOM structures, routing, quality parameters and costing methods are configured to your process. Machine, scanner and weighbridge connections are evaluated against your equipment.
What to have ready
Most of what decides whether this works is settled before any software is configured.
- Bills of material someone has verified, because everything downstream inherits their errors
- Routings that describe how work actually flows, not how it was designed to
- An agreed treatment for process loss and scrap before anyone compares yields
- Opening work-in-progress, which is the hardest number in any manufacturing migration
When this is not the right fit
- You assemble to order from bought-in parts with no routing, no work centres and no process loss
- You need machine-level process control or SCADA integration as the primary requirement
- Your bills of material are not stable enough to be worth recording yet

Integration possibilities
Every integration carries an honest status. Open one to see its current position, what it connects and what it needs.
