Bill of materials and production runs for a food manufacturer

Raw material issue, production batches and finished goods tracked against a recipe rather than estimated.

  • Bill of materials
  • Production run issue and receipt
  • Actual vs standard consumption
  • Wastage recording

The problem

Production was recorded on paper and entered at the end of the week. Raw material consumption was inferred from stock movements, so wastage and yield were guesses and costing a finished item was impossible to do accurately.

What we built

We built a bill of materials per product with production runs that issue materials and receive finished goods as recorded transactions. Actual consumption is compared against the BOM, so variance is visible per run rather than per month.

What changed

What the delivered system does differently from the process it replaced.

  • Material consumption is recorded per run rather than inferred
  • Yield variance is visible against the recipe
  • Finished goods carry a calculated cost

Why this customer is not named

Most of our customers allow the work to be described but not their name published. Where a customer has given permission, their name and testimonial appear here.

Independent accounts of our work are published by customers themselves on our Facebook reviews page.

Does this look like your problem?

If any of this is familiar, the first step is the same one this project started with: a free requirement study that ends in a written scope and a fixed price.
