Manufacturing Process (Assembly)

Once a Manufacturing Order (MO) is created, the company can start the production or assembly process based on that MO. The production process can involve creating products from scratch or assembling various components and parts. The production operator can refer to the Job Order document produced from the MO to then scan or input the transaction number and input the final result of each production stage that has been passed. The final result is related to the finished product, NG product, NG warehouse, the name of the responsible operator, and other important information.

Here are the general steps carried out in the production process based on the created Manufacturing Order:

• Preparation of material and resources. At this step, the company prepares the materials, components, and other resources needed to start the production process. The materials must be available in sufficient quantities, and their quality must meet the established standards. In common practice, the warehouse officer will transfer stock from the raw material area to the production area or machine area depending on the company's needs.
• Component processing. If the product being produced requires assembly from several components, these components must be processed first before being assembled. This processing could involve cutting, machining, welding, or other necessary processes.
• Product assembly. After the components are processed, the company can start the product assembly or assembly process based on the work sequence determined in the Manufacturing Order. At this stage, the operator will assemble the product using machines, tools, and other equipment needed.
• Quality inspection. After the product is assembled, it must be inspected to ensure its quality meets the established standards. The inspection can be done using measuring tools, functional tests, or other inspection processes.
• Production completion and delivery. Once the product passes the quality inspection, it is considered finished. Then, the product can be packed and prepared for delivery to customers or stored in the inventory warehouse.

In the SOFICloud ERP application, each step in the production process can be recorded and tracked well. This allows the company to optimize the production process, speed up production time, and overall increase production efficiency.
