Complete Control from Purchasing, Quality and Dispatch
In the world of product manufacturing, efficiency and quality are essential to stay competitive. Odoo, with its complete Manufacturing Module, offers a comprehensive solution that covers every stage of the process, from purchasing management to quality control, ensuring an optimized and consistent workflow.
This diagram is a flow and concise visual guide that reflects an efficient and well-managed production cycle, highlighting the importance of each stage in the manufacturing chain..
This flow begins with the Purchase of Supplies (1), which ensures the availability of materials needed for manufacturing. The supplies are then entered into the Warehouse (2), where they are recorded and organized for later use.
The next step is to Record the Inventory (3), ensuring that all materials are accounted for and ready for the Start of Manufacturing (4). During manufacturing, it is essential to implement a Quality Control (5), to verify that the products meet the established standards.
Once manufacturing is complete, the product is Registered as Finished Good (6), preparing for distribution. The next step is Making the Sale (7), followed by Creating the Dispatch (8), which involves the logistical preparation for delivery. Finally, the flow culminates with Delivery (9) of the product to the customer.
Each step of the flow is detailed below.:
1. Start with Purchasing: Optimization from the first step
The process starts with purchasing management, where Odoo allows you to automate the acquisition of raw materials and components needed for production. By integrating the Purchasing module, you can:
- Automate purchase orders: Based on inventory levels, the system can automatically generate purchase orders, reducing the risk of production interruptions due to lack of materials.
- Efficient Negotiations and Contracts: Manage your suppliers and negotiate better terms based on detailed purchasing and performance history..
2. Inventory Management: Total control over your resources
Once raw materials are in your warehouses, Odoo's Inventory Module takes over. This module seamlessly syncs with manufacturing and purchasing, offering:
- Real-time visibility: Access a clear view of your stock levels at all times, allowing for efficient inventory management.
- Full traceability: From raw material to final product, Odoo offers full traceability, crucial to comply with regulations and maintain high quality standards.
3. Manufacturing: An agile, traceable and synchronized process
The Odoo Manufacturing Module is the core of your operation. This module allows:
- Production Planning and Scheduling: Create manufacturing orders and plan production based on demand, avoiding bottlenecks and maximizing efficiency.
- Routing and Bill of Materials (BOM) Management: Define manufacturing routings and bills of materials for each product, ensuring all steps are performed accurately.
Product Traceability: Control from start to finish
One of the great benefits of the Odoo Manufacturing Module is the ability to track product traceability throughout the entire process. This means you can:
- Monitor every stage: From the receipt of raw materials to the departure of the finished product, each step is recorded, allowing for comprehensive monitoring.
- Track batches and serial numbers: Assign batch or serial numbers to your products, making it easier to track and manage any incidents or product returns.
- Comply with regulations: Traceability is essential to comply with industrial regulations and guarantee the quality and safety of products.
Finished Product Handling
Once the manufacturing process is complete, the finished product is efficiently managed within Odoo:
- Automated storage: Finished products are automatically recorded in inventory, with warehouse location assignment, facilitating space management and preparation for distribution.
- Preparation for shipping: Odoo allows you to manage shipping logistics directly from the system, coordinating deliveries with the Sales Module or Logistics Module to ensure that products reach your customers on time.
- Post-production quality control: You can implement final quality checks before shipping products, ensuring they meet expected standards.
4. Quality Control: Ensures excellence at every stage
Finally, quality control is essential to ensure that products meet the expected standards. With the Quality Control module integrated into the manufacturing process, you can:
- Implement checkpoints: Establish quality controls at different stages of the production process to detect and correct problems before they affect the final product.
- Detailed Reporting and Analysis: Odoo allows you to generate detailed reports that make it easy to identify areas for improvement in your manufacturing process.
