Manufacturing ERP

Manufacturing, connected.

Plan. Produce. Control. Improve.

Connect planning, bills of material, production, quality, maintenance, inventory and costing in one manufacturing platform — with variance visible while the order is still open.

The manufacturing cycle

The plan is monthly. The plant is hourly.

Demand, materials, production, quality and cost run on one record — so a variance on the floor at 10am is a cost figure the same afternoon.

Work order 360

Every work order. One complete picture.

Materials, labour, machine time, quality and cost on one record — so the variance is explained while the order is still open, not after the month closes.

The manufacturing platform

Capabilities, grouped the way a plant runs.

Four domains, each opening onto a dedicated page with its own workflow, capabilities and connected modules.

Production costing

Explain the variance while the order is open.

Standard cost against actual material, labour, machine and overhead — with the variance decomposed by cause rather than reported as a single number at month-end.

01
Standard cost
Set from the BOM and routing, by revision.
02
Material actual
Issues, substitutions and scrap booked live.
03
Labour actual
Hours captured at the work centre, not estimated.
04
Machine & overhead
Work-centre rates applied to actual run time.
05
Variance
Price, usage, rate and efficiency, separated.
06
Close
WIP relieved, cost posted, unit cost updated.

Shop floor execution

The floor reports itself.

Operators record output, scrap and downtime at the work centre on a terminal or tablet — which is what makes OEE a measured figure rather than a monthly estimate.

01Work order — released to the work centre with the routing
02Start — operator, machine and time captured automatically
03Output — good quantity, scrap and rework recorded
04Downtime — reason-coded, feeding maintenance and OEE
05Completion — QC, put to stock and cost posted

Operations and finance

One platform. Operations feed finance directly.

Production transactions feed financial data directly — WIP, cost of goods and inventory valuation are posted by the work order, not journalised from a report.

A plant that reports OEE monthly is describing history. A plant that records output, scrap and downtime as they happen is running a control loop — and the cost of every work order is known before it closes.

Technology foundation

Built on Odoo. Extended for the sector.

The manufacturing platform is built on Odoo's enterprise foundation and extended by Al Jawad for shop floor control, production costing and lot traceability.

Manufacturing is the product. Odoo is the foundation it stands on — which is why finance, procurement, inventory and payroll are already part of the same system.
