This module is designed to manage manufacturing resources in the context of a laborious transformation and a multi-level recipe (assemblies, sub-assemblies, components, methods).
This module requires much more preparation than the simple single-level assembly technique and is intended for an assembly line or production floor with more staff, a production schedule and monitoring and the origins of the components to compose a production batch.
This is ideal for a food chain or a factory where monitoring such as Canada GAP certification is mandatory.
The purpose of this guide is to show you the essentials of the production/assembly portion of the process and the tools/steps of the system.
You will need to refer to the help of each of the software tools.

To begin, you must create a finished product composition. This can be several combinations of assemblies or components.
This is done in the inventory - PRODUCT MANAGEMENT for an item designated PRODUCTION ITEM on PAGE 1.

Once saved, the PRODUCTION tab will appear and you can create your recipe for the finished product or assembly.
Specifications contain either COMPONENTS (physical products) or METHODS (production methods or instructions).

To plan a production, simply click the blue PRODUCE button to access the production planning module.
The tool allows you to view the manufacturing recipe for an assembly or a finished product. It is used to quickly see everything that is required to manufacture the product. The difference between this section and the specifications is that all hierarchical levels are examined. Assemblies, subassemblies and component-methods are all visible.
The items in yellow come from another assembly or production. So the .1527 assembly is a prerequisite to make this item which is itself an assembly.
You can choose a production date for the schedule and assign an operator if necessary.
You can from this screen generate a production batch and place this product on production order for the quantity in the top right.
A production planned for a date, will appear in the production calendars (6 months, monthly, weekly and daily)
When a manufactured product is placed on a customer order, the customer order tracking and the required product tracking will show the production and its planning date.
A production tracking tool allows you to follow the evolution of production batches. You can view the recipe by clicking on the magnifying glass. You can modify the quantity and the production date with the small pencil. You can print the production sheet by clicking on the small printer.
A production console is designed for the operator on the floor.
The console allows you to change the status of a batch (put it in production or stop it) or to collect components with the verification mode.
In verification, we "SCAN" the items and we can indicate the batch of the component used.
As the components are recorded, the lines become green, so the operator is sure not to have forgotten anything.
A batch can change status according to the protocol and the production duration of the product. An incomplete batch can be reprocessed as many times as necessary. The system removes components from inventory availability as the steps are completed. The production cost is placed in the work in progress account until production is complete.
Once production is complete, the items are removed from inventory and the quantity produced is entered into the finished product. The production cost is removed or moved and recalculated and placed in the finished product inventory account.
There are also tools to view the real-time cost change of recipes, and if necessary to modify the selling price of a finished product.
Finally, a tool allows you to view the use of a component by recipes. It is used to determine the impact of the use of a component.
