Frequently Asked Questions
Functional
Yes, the inventory module alerts users about insufficient stock. Production orders are restricted from progressing if required materials are unavailable.
Scrap quantities are recorded at each process stage. The system allows tracking for reuse or sale, and associated costs are reflected in the final batch reports.
Scrap materials are recorded as outputs in the process template. They can be reused or sold to vendors, with earnings tracked in reports.
Templates are created in the Process Template section, where steps, dependencies, and quality checks are defined per product type.
Yes, you can bypass bill of materials if not needed for a product. However, batch production must follow the full workflow once inventory is involved.
Access roles can be customized (e.g., staff requests materials, production manager approves).
Yes, packaging and sub-assemblies are included in the BOM. Each step, like labeling or packaging, is listed in the process template.
Production orders are generated from sale orders. Raw material availability is checked first; if unavailable, procurement is initiated. Batches can be split based on inventory.
Yes, quality checkpoints are configurable. Failed items can be reworked or scrapped. The system allows industry-specific quality parameters.
Yes, the system supports partial batch production. If raw materials are insufficient to complete the full batch (e.g., producing only 50 out of 100 units), you can initiate a partial batch and schedule the remaining quantity once additional materials are available.
Yes. The system allows you to include labor, electricity, and other overheads in batch production calculations to ensure accurate and comprehensive cost reporting.
Yes. The system supports process customization per item, customer, or order—allowing you to define unique workflows (e.g., different steps for Client A versus Client B).
Yes. Workflows can be tailored to align with organizational hierarchies—for example, involving plant managers, logistics coordinators, or other relevant roles based on approval and process requirements.
Yes. The system comes with built-in standard reports, and users can also create custom reports without needing IT assistance.
The quality check template ensures that every step in the production process meets required standards. It prevents defects from being discovered only at the final stage and allows for corrections in between.
Yes. These activities are managed through our CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) module, which handles job cards, work orders, technician allocation, and complete service tracking.
Yes. A customized report can be developed to provide a consolidated view that includes production quantities, procurement quantities, current stock levels, and stock valuation.
Yes. The system is designed for scalability. For instance, FMCG companies producing items like biscuits or cookies can adjust production volumes based on seasonal or market demand. Similar adaptability is supported across industries such as automotive, cement, and apparel.
Production orders can be created manually or automatically based on sales orders, production plans, or inventory replenishment needs.
Yes. Production planning can consider machine capacity, resource availability, and production timelines.
Yes. The system supports multiple production orders and batch management within a single production schedule.
Yes. Production tasks can be assigned to external vendors while maintaining visibility of materials, costs, and completion status.
Yes. Supervisors can track active production orders, machine usage, and operator activity through dashboards.
Yes. Machine utilization can be tracked for each production stage to monitor efficiency and performance.
Yes. The system updates finished goods quantities automatically when production batches are completed.
Yes. Assembly workflows can be configured where multiple components are combined into finished products.
Yes. Reports provide insights into production output, resource usage, and process efficiency.
Yes. Safety and compliance steps can be embedded within process templates to ensure adherence to operational standards.
Yes. Lead times are recorded for each production order, helping managers evaluate process efficiency.
Yes. Operators can update task status and production quantities through their assigned system access.
Yes. Rejected items can be recorded with reasons for rejection and analyzed in quality reports.
Yes. Once production is completed, finished goods are automatically added to inventory.
Yes. Multi-plant production management allows centralized monitoring of production activities across facilities.
Yes. Production orders can be generated specifically for customer orders in make-to-order environments.
Yes. The system checks raw materials, machines, and workforce availability before scheduling production.
Yes. Production managers can pause, modify, or reschedule orders when operational conditions change.
Yes. Production reports analyze labor, material consumption, and overhead costs to improve efficiency.
Yes. Continuous production workflows can be configured for industries such as FMCG or chemicals.
Technical
Yes, the system integrates with external platforms via APIs, and plugins support connectivity with any system providing API access.
Yes, production data visibility is controlled through user roles, ensuring operators, supervisors, and managers only see relevant information.
Yes, BOM versioning is supported, allowing changes in design or components to be tracked without losing historical data.
Yes, users can configure dashboards and generate reports, which can also be exported in Excel, PDF, or CSV formats.
Yes, WIP tracking is supported, with real-time updates from shop floor operations feeding directly into production status.
Yes. Inventory integration ensures raw material consumption and finished goods updates occur automatically.
Yes. Procurement workflows can automatically trigger purchase orders when materials are insufficient for production.
Yes. Dashboards provide real-time visibility into production progress, machine utilization, and operational metrics.
Yes. Production orders can require approvals before execution depending on company policies.
Yes. Production reports and datasets can be exported in formats such as Excel or CSV.
Yes. Integration with maintenance modules can generate alerts when equipment requires servicing.
Yes. Demand forecasting data can be used to plan future production schedules.
Yes. All production activities and updates are logged with timestamps and user information.
Yes. Automated alerts notify managers if production orders fall behind schedule.
Yes. Key performance indicators such as output rate, machine utilization, and defect rate can be monitored through dashboards.
