Where small manufacturers lose track of material and cost.
When production is tracked in a notebook, the ERP knows what you bought and what you sold, but not what happened in between.
Material planning by hand
Nobody can say whether there is enough raw material for the next customer order.
Consumption not recorded
Raw material leaves the store for the shop floor without a document, so stock drifts.
Finished goods counted separately
Output is counted on the floor and keyed into stock later, if at all.
Unknown production cost
Material, labour and overheads are not added up per batch of output.
Orders promised without capacity
Sales commits to dates without knowing what production can deliver.
How production will connect your purchasing and your sales.
Purchasing, raw material stock, sales orders, deliveries, invoices and payments run in AYBN ERP today. Production, in the middle, is upcoming.
