Odoo ERP for Manufacturers

The MRP or material needs planning allows optimizing the planning of the material necessary for manufacturing or procurement processes based on a re-evaluation of existing inventories, demands and supplies and in the modification of the planning parameters (establishment of the time of delivery, making or buying decisions and holiday planning, among others).

If your company is growing or is an industrial manufacturing SME, Odoo Implementation can help you manage each stage of your production processes. Beyond whether your company is a manufacturer of equipment, a supply chain supplier of high-tech engineering components or robotics or a production line for the food industry (such as food and beverages) or the automotive industry, you can use the Basic modules of MRP of Odoo ERP or customize them to the measure of your needs to maximize your productivity. Odoo ERP MRP is a noble and robust program both in its opensource version (Odoo Community version) as in its proprietary version (Odoo Enterprise).

Modular integration of Odoo ERP MRP with other functionalities of the solution

In Odoo ERP everything is circular, everything is synchronized. Managing processes in this way is simpler and "user-friendly". In Odoo ERP all processes are integrated because the solution follows a modular scheme that extends from the initial processing of customer orders to the process of production, storage, stock management, product delivery, electronic invoicing, accounting and finance, market intelligence (BI), KPI, monitoring and reporting, CRM management and digital marketing.

In the specific field of industrial process management, it should be noted that odoo manufacturing is integrated with Odoo modules (applications) such as:

• Purchase: to automate compliance to maintain the correct inventory levels.
• PLM: to simplify the management of engineering changes and versions
• Maintenance: to plan preventive maintenance and act quickly to correct any type of production problem.
• Quality: to be able to define precisely the quality control points and activate any type of quality alerts quickly.

Manufacturing production stage covering Odoo ERP MPR

Workflow processes are integrated naturally and can cover all stages of manufacturing production, including:

• Manage production orders (manage the products in assembly lines or in manual assembly)
• Work orders (launch the production of the necessary articles for the final assembly of your products)
• Barcode in work order (Work orders can be processed using a barcode scanner)
• Cost of the product (Calculate the cost of the products based on your list of mass materials directly from the list view of products)
• Orders not invoiced (allows you to dismantle a finished product and retrieve all the components individually)
• Repair orders (manage repairs of items under warranty or as an added service)
• Editable manufacturing orders (consume other products despite what was originally planned and also edit production orders once completed)
• Structure of the BOM list of materials (allows you to add information about the reference and the version of the BOM) Also add the product attachments in that report The BOM - Bill of Materials is the recipe for the product Indicates what raw materials are needed and in what quantity.
• Produce in MO: Define the exact quantities of components consumed to produce a finished product in MO (Labor). It grants more flexibility for the consumption of components.
• Programming and planning ( Manufacturing plan: Obtain a clear vision of your Global Planning and easily replan the manufacturing )
• Organize work orders (access to all available resources and plan the future of your production)
• Manage invoices of materials (Monitor the availability of items in stock and production time)
• The capacity of the work center (MRP II Planner that uses the capacities and schedules of work centers)
• Flexible master data (create multilevel invoices of materials Set up a Material Invoice with another to manufacture components of a product in another Material Invoice)
• Optional routing (Create new routes for work orders to sequence production depending on the route used)
• Version changes (Allow products to evolve and add configurable options when creating orders)
• The Odoo ERP application kit allows the salesperson to sell a kit, but also to deliver a batch of products
• PLM (Versions: Easily obtain differences between versions to monitor changes in the product life cycle)
• PLM (Allows to track the life cycle of the different versions of the products and the modification orders, as well as their respective documents) Combining different modification orders that correspond to the same list of materials.
• Change engineering (Monitor changes in a special Kanban board for engineering change orders (ECOs)
• Upward traceability (runs from the raw materials received from the supplier and follows the chain to the finished products that are delivered to customers)
• Descending traceability (follow the product in the other direction, from the client to the different suppliers of raw material)
• Document management (store plans and worksheets directly in the invoices of materials and routes)
• Quality Management (Control points: Carry out quality checks automatically for the manufacturing department)
• Quality checks (Display statistical process control easily with checks)
• Quality alerts (organize work using the Kanban view of quality alerts)
• Maintenance (Preventive maintenance Activates maintenance requests automatically based on KPIs)
• Corrective maintenance (Activates corrective maintenance directly from the control center panel)
• Calendar (Plan maintenance operations with a calendar)
• Statistics (Obtaining all the maintenance statistics among them of the MTBF (acronym of Mean Time Between Failures) is the arithmetic mean (average) of the time between failures of a system.
• Control Panel of the Work Center (uses tablets in each work center to organize work efficiently)
• Record production (Record productions, scan products, batches or serial numbers.
• Worksheets (Show worksheets directly in the work center with instructions for the operator)
• Various operations (Remove products, create quality alerts, perform tests, right from the work center)
• Alerts (Use alert to show changes or quality tests to the operator)
• Work order steps (Define several steps in a work order and link them to spreadsheet pages: scan a product, take a photo, perform quality control, etc.)
• Integrates with EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
