The new Manufacturing System
New manufacturing solutions have been designed and implemented by enhancing the Odoo standard system with specific proprietary applications, fully integrated each others, to support the following business scenarios:
-
Make to Order
-
Make to Stock
-
Assembly to Order
-
Supply Chain Management
-
MRO maintenance
Why a New Manufacturing System in Odoo?
A focused set of applications that close the gaps in standard Odoo
Standard Odoo
Standard Odoo covers the essentials but shows some limits in production planning & execution, product costing and maintenance management.
Materials Planning
Odoo materials planning is limited and no supply chain management solution (Demand Management, MRP and DDMRP).
Shop Floor Control
In manufacturing execution, standard Odoo does not fully support work order scheduling, work center capacity management, work order confirmation and production order closure.
Product Costing
Standard Odoo provides only a basic costing solution and lacks real-time WIP determination.
Plant Maintenance
Out-of-the-box Odoo lacks
equipment management and no support for core maintenance strategies as preventive, corrective, periodic, and condition-based.
Subcontracting Process
Standard Odoo doesn’t offer a robust subcontracting workflow, from component supply through activity confirmation.
Main Applications description
Shop Floor Control
The MRP Shop Floor Control module supports the E2E Manufacturing Execution process from the manufacturing order creation to its closure.
Its main features are:
· workorder scheduling and work center capacity loading
· capacity evaluation
· capacity levelling with mid-point Scheduling technique
· workorder confirmation with partial quantities and actual dates determination
· WIP quantity determination for each workorder based on its partial confirmations
· production order closure
MRP Product Costing
The Product Costing module supports the decision-making process in manufacturing execution providing with all necessary manufacturing costing figures.
In detail, we have as follows:
• Manufacturing costing figures calculated in real time in manufacturing order
• Accounting postings for WIP evaluation at workorder confirmation
• Actual direct costs posted in real time at workorder confirmation
• Variance analysis
• Manufacturing order settlement
• WIP calculation in real time
MRP SFC External Operation
The Shop Floor Control External Operation module is the solution for managing the outsourced production activities process by integrating Shop Floor Management with Purchasing
MRP SFC BoM Component Substitution
In the Shop Floor BoM Component Substitution module is possible to enter a substitute product for each BoM item with a validity date for managing equivalent components in stockout or Discontinued Parts processes.
MRP Planning Engine
The MRP Planning Engine module provides a full comprehensive tool for managing Material Requirements Planning process in both production management and supply chain management.
The two basic material planning types have been implemented:
• Push logic with backwards scheduling and requirements explosion (where BoM is defined); that’s the classical MRP tool
• Pull logic, that’s Reorder Point procedure with forward scheduling for automatic stock replenishment
The following Demand Management Strategies are supported also:
• MTS: the sales order is not relevant for planning and the demand is reduced at sales goods issue (sales order delivery)
• MTO: no independent demand items can be entered
• Planning production by lots: the sales order and the demand items are planned together; it is important to choose a lot method for grouping the demand; the demand is reduced at sales goods issue (sales order delivery)
• Planning with final assembly: the demand reduction is at sales order confirmation so overplanning is considered
• Planning without final assembly: as the “planning with final assembly” for the planning topics; planned orders are created for planning purposes only so they cannot be converted, that means the last stage of production process can be performed with sales order.
MRP Planning Engine MTO
The MRP Planning Engine MTO application completes the overall planning process in Make-To-Order scenario by enhancing the OpenValue MTO solution based in the MRP Planning Engine.
It is fully integrated in the overall Openvalue manufacturing planning and execution solution.
MRP Planning Engine Subcontracting
The MRP Planning Engine Subcontracting module enhances the OpenValue MRP Planning Engine solution by implementing a subcontracting replenishment process based on the quantity shortage calculated by MRP planning engine.
MRP Planning Engine Capacity Load
The MRP Planning Engine Capacity Load module completes the overall planning process in a Make‑to‑Stock scenario built on the MRP Planning Engine by performing capacity checks to address capacity‑constrained demand.
MRP Availability Check
The MRP Availability Check tool aims to check the production feasibility of customer requested quantity based the project stock availability at all BoM’s levels.
MRO Maintenance
The MRO Maintenance supports maintenance processes management with the following maintenance strategies:
• Corrective
• Preventive
• On condition
• Periodic
• Maintenance Plan
• Retrofit
MRP MRO Maintenance Integration
The MRP MRO Integration module aims to integrate the MRO Maintenance features in the overall OpenValue Manufacturing Solution.
Purchase Monitor
Reporting for supporting follow up activities in purchasing process
Stock Transfer Interwarehouses
The Stock transfer inter- warehouses module aims to support the stock transfer process between warehouses belonging the same company.
All the stock transfer process steps are performed with reference to a specific document: stock transfer document: therefore, it is possible to control all the stock transfer process steps in only one document.
