Manufacturing
Specialist pages in this area: Footwear & Leather Textile & Apparel

In manufacturing the expensive thing is not an idle machine but not knowing where it stalled. Every decision made without seeing which work centre the order is waiting at, which material is missing and what a batch actually cost is a guess. Odoo running on Coflow Bulut turns those guesses into data.

Production Planning

Enter the order and let the requirements list build itself

Define your bill of materials once and let the system work out, when an order arrives, how much of each raw material is needed, what is in stock and when to buy. Multi-level BoMs, semi-finished goods and subcontracted operations are all supported.

  • Multi-level bills of materials with variants
  • Automatic material requirements planning with MRP
  • Subcontracted operation tracking
  • Forward and backward scheduling against capacity

Shop Floor Control

A tablet at the machine, live status in the office

The operator starts, pauses and finishes the work order on a tablet, while you see which work centre is busy and which is free. Because real times are recorded, your next quote is built on measurement rather than guesswork.

  • Touch shop-floor screen (Work Center Control)
  • Actual run time and downtime reason records
  • Batch and serial tracking by barcode
  • Quality control points and checklists

Cost & Margin

Which product actually makes you money?

Material, labour and machine cost post to the work order, and actual cost is compared with standard. That is how you see from a report which product, which customer and which shift actually made money.

  • Actual cost per work order
  • Variance analysis against standard cost
  • Product and customer profitability reports
  • Stock and cost posted to the ledger automatically

One need, one application

The Odoo applications that pay off most in your industry.

Manufacturing (MRP) Work orders & bills of materials
Inventory Warehouse, dispatch & inventory
Purchase Supplier quotes & orders
Quality Control points & non-conformity
Maintenance Equipment & fault tracking
Accounting Cost, invoicing & e-documents
Sales Quote & order management
PLM Product revisions & engineering changes

We used to argue at month end about which job had made money. Now we see the cost the moment the work order closes.

Frequently asked questions

Which Odoo apps are needed for manufacturing?
The core setup consists of the Manufacturing (MRP), Inventory and Purchase apps. Quality is added for control points, Maintenance for machine breakdowns and PLM for product revisions. Accounting is part of the setup as well, so that cost flows into the books.
Are multi-level bills of materials and subcontracted operations supported?
Yes. Multi-level bills of materials with semi-finished goods, product variants and subcontracted operations are supported as standard. A batch sent to a subcontractor is tracked as a separate operation and its cost is booked to the work order.
Can we see work order cost in real time?
Yes. Material, labour and machine costs are booked as the work order progresses; when it closes, actual cost is compared against standard cost. You get profitability by product and by customer without waiting for month-end.
