Manufacturing & Quality

Connect demand, materials, work, inspection and finished stock. Manufacturing & Quality supports bills of materials, production planning, work orders, job cards, material movement, subcontracting, inspection and production-cost visibility.

Working coverage

Capability where the transaction and responsibility meet.

Discrete and mixed-mode manufacturers that need a practical link between commercial demand, material availability, shop-floor execution and accounting.

Engineering foundation

Define what is made, how it is made and the material and operation assumptions behind cost.

  • Item and variant masters
  • Single and multi-level BOM
  • Operations and routing
  • Workstations and rates
  • Alternative items
  • BOM comparison and revision controls

Planning and materials

Turn demand into feasible production and supply actions.

  • Production plan
  • Sales-order or material-request demand
  • Sub-assembly planning
  • Work-order creation
  • Purchase and material requests
  • Planned start and delivery dates

Execution

Record work, time, quantity, WIP movement and completion at the responsible operation.

  • Work orders
  • Job cards
  • Employee and workstation assignment
  • Material transfer to WIP
  • Consumed and completed quantity
  • Scrap, process loss and finished goods

Quality

Apply agreed inspection parameters at incoming, in-process or outgoing stages.

  • Quality inspection templates
  • Incoming inspection
  • In-process inspection
  • Final or outgoing inspection
  • Accepted and rejected result
  • Quality action and review context

Subcontracting and supply

Maintain the relationship between supplied material, subcontract work, receipt and accepted outcome.

  • Subcontract purchase order
  • Material supplied to subcontractor
  • Subcontracting receipt
  • Consumed components
  • Returned or excess material
  • Supplier and quality context

Cost and performance

Compare planned and recorded material, time and operating cost with production progress.

  • Planned and actual operation time
  • Workstation operating cost
  • Material consumption
  • Production progress
  • WIP and finished value
  • Manufacturing reports

End-to-end flow

A controlled path from plan to accepted production

Planning, shop-floor recording, stock movement and inspection remain connected to the work order and its demand source.

01

Plan

Consolidate demand, BOMs, sub-assemblies and required supply actions.

Production planning
02

Release

Create authorised work orders and confirm materials, operations and schedule.

Production control
03

Issue and execute

Move materials, run job cards and record time, completed quantity, pending work and loss.

Stores and shop floor
04

Inspect

Record the applicable quality checks and hold rejected or incomplete outcomes for review.

Quality
05

Receive and review

Post accepted finished goods and compare plan, actual usage, time and cost.

Production and finance

Role views

The same process. Different working context.

Each person sees the queues, measures, records and actions that belong to their responsibility.

Controls retained in the flow

  • Approved BOM and routing
  • Work-order status
  • Warehouse and WIP permissions
  • Inspection requirement
  • Rejected or incomplete quantity
  • Return and correction records

Configured for the operating model

  • Items and variants
  • BOMs and operations
  • Workstations and calendars
  • Manufacturing warehouses
  • Quality parameters
  • Subcontracting flows
Capacity models, process-manufacturing needs, machine connectivity, sector-specific quality standards and advanced planning requirements are qualified before scope is confirmed.
