Manufacturing Operations¶

The Manufacturing Operations application in S-ERP provides an integrated, end-to-end industrial production management solution—connecting sales quotations, engineering bills of materials (BOM), work center scheduling, shop floor execution, material logistics, quality control (QC), and performance analytics.

Integrated Manufacturing Workflow¶

Production in S-ERP operates across 7 interconnected business stages:

Stage	Primary Role	Key Activities	Expected Output
1	Sales / Technical Sales	Create quotations (manual/spreadsheet), attach technical drawings, confirm sales orders	Confirmed Sales Order & Auto-Generated Master MO
2	Engineering / R&D	Configure master and child MOs, establish Bill of Materials (BOM), attach technical drawings	Approved Manufacturing Orders & Exploded Operations
3	Production Planner	Schedule work centers, assign operators, set milestone deadlines	Work Order Schedule & Resource Allocation
4	Logistics / Warehouse	Issue materials from warehouses to production floor, generate backorders for shortages	Allocated Raw Materials on Shop Floor
5	Workshop Operators	Execute work orders, track actual start/end timestamps, log machine runtimes	Completed Manufacturing Operations
6	Quality Control (QC)	Conduct quality inspection (Pass/Fail), log defects, authorize final completion	Quality Verified Finished Goods
7	Warehouse / Management	Inbound finished goods storage, review OEE metrics, analyze production reports	Stocked Finished Products & Analytical Insights
