Manufacturing
From bill of materials to finished goods, with the cost booked.
Engineering keeps revisions, production reports against routed operations, and the ledger receives WIP, labour, overhead and variance without a spreadsheet in between. MRP plans purchases and production from real demand.
Problems it solves
- Bills of materials kept in spreadsheets with no revision history
- Component shortages discovered on the floor
- Labour and overhead never reaching the cost of the product
- Purchasing that reacts instead of planning
- Finished-goods lots without traceability to their components
Workflows
How a manufacturer runs on Fritech ERP
Engineer with revisions
BOM revisions with effective dates, scrap, phantoms, alternates and a cost roll-up through sub-assemblies; routings on work centers with capacity and rates.
Learn moreMake the order
Manufacturing orders issue components to WIP by lot and serial, absorb labour and overhead from reported operations, and close at standard with the variance booked.
Learn morePlan with MRP
Open sales orders and forecasts become dated planned purchase and manufacturing orders, released in bulk to draft POs on the preferred vendor.
Learn moreTrace every lot
Components issued by lot, finished goods reported into a lot with expiry; the movement log ties them together.
Learn moreSell from stock or to order
Sales orders show availability per line; a configurator generates an item and its BOM from option picks.
Learn moreSee production statistics
On-time percentage, throughput, scrap rate, planned against actual minutes and cycle time, with a capacity plan per work center.
Learn moreManufacturing orders
Operations reported, cost absorbed, order closed at standard.
Each operation records actual setup and run minutes against the plan. Labour and overhead flow into work in progress, and the final report moves finished goods out at standard cost and books the variance.
Planning
What to buy and what to make, dated.
The MRP run nets demand against stock, confirmed purchases and open orders, applies lead times, reorder points and safety stock, and lists planned orders with the demand they serve. Past-due needs come first.
