Manufacturing

Introduction

Manufacturing in Frappe is a module designed to help businesses manage and streamline their production processes. It handles everything from planning and tracking production to managing raw materials, work orders, and finished goods. It’s especially useful for companies that produce goods and need a system to efficiently manage manufacturing operations.

Key Features in Frappe Manufacturing:

1. Bill of Materials (BOM):
• A detailed list of raw materials, parts, and sub-assemblies needed to manufacture a product.
• Acts as the blueprint for production.
2. Work Order:
• Used to plan and track the production of goods.
• Specifies the quantity to produce, materials to consume, and operations to perform.
3. Production Planning:
• Helps plan manufacturing based on available stock, orders, and production capacity.
• Ensures raw materials are available for planned production.
4. Stock Management:
• Tracks raw materials and finished goods in warehouses.
• Helps monitor inventory levels and avoid stockouts or overstocking.
5. Operations:
• Defines specific tasks or steps in the production process (e.g., cutting, assembling, painting).
6. Workstations:
• Represents physical locations or machines where manufacturing operations are carried out.
7. Job Cards:
• Documents to track individual operations in a work order.
• Useful for monitoring progress and efficiency.
8. Quality Inspections:
• Ensures products meet quality standards at various stages.

Simple Workflow:

1. Create a BOM:
• Define all materials and steps needed to produce an item.
2. Generate a Work Order:
• Plan production based on demand and BOM details.
3. Procure Materials:
• Purchase or issue materials from stock based on the BOM.
4. Start Manufacturing:
• Use job cards to track each operation at workstations.
5. Complete the Work Order:
• Mark production as completed and update stock levels with finished goods.
6. Inspect Quality:
• Perform quality checks before dispatching products.
