Production Manager

The gap our ERP suite openly admits. Works orders against a bill of material, real routings with capacity, and booking that happens on the shop floor rather than being reconstructed from memory on Friday.

Inside the app

What it does out of the box

23 connected functions on one schema, spanning three permission levels. Everything below is in the template before a line of customisation.

Dashboard for Daniel

24 works orders open, 6 short on material and the paint line is the constraint again.

Works orders

What is being made, from which bill of material, and where it has got to.

Materials

What each order needs, what is free, and what is on order.

Time booking

Booked on the floor, against the operation, at the time it happened.

Bills of material

What goes into what, at which revision, with where-used both ways.

Schedule

What runs where and when, with the orders that will slip shown as slipping.

Capacity

Available hours against loaded hours, by work centre. The constraint is always visible.

Routings and work centres

The operations a product goes through, and the standard time for each.

Audit log

Every release, booking correction and routing change. Retained for seven years.

Permissions

Three roles, one build

An operator works orders and books time. A planner owns the schedule and the constraint. An administrator owns routings and standards. Booked time feeds both job costing and the capacity picture, so it is entered once.

  • Immutable audit log written on every change
  • Responsive layouts, usable on a phone, not just resized
  • CSV import and export on every core record
  • Deployment configuration for your cloud account
  • Twelve months of updates, and no per-seat charge ever

Access and evidence

A plan that degrades honestly

Standard times drift out of date within months, and a schedule built on stale standards lies confidently. Booked actuals feed back automatically, so when the plan stops being true you find out from the app rather than from a late order.

  • An order cannot be released while any component is short
  • Loading uses routed standards corrected by 90 days of booked actuals
  • Persistent variance between standard and actual is flagged, not absorbed
  • A works order records the BOM and routing revision it was raised against
  • Changing a standard creates a new version rather than editing the old one
  • An over-loaded work centre is shown as over-loaded, never smoothed away
  • Immutable audit log with seven-year retention and export

Questions

Production Manager, in practical terms

Do I get the source code for Production Manager?

Yes. The repository, application code, database schema, migrations, seed data and deployment configuration, is transferred to your organisation on delivery. There is no licence key and nothing that calls home.

Is this full MRP?

It covers works orders, bills of material, routings, material availability, shop-floor booking, finite scheduling and capacity loading, the parts most light manufacturers actually use. It is not a full MRP II system with demand forecasting, multi-level netting and master production scheduling. If you need those, say so early and we will tell you honestly whether a fitted build gets you there.

Does it work alongside Operations ERP Suite?

That is the intended pairing, and it is the gap the ERP page openly admits. In a fitted build they share one schema, so stock consumed by a works order and the finished goods it produces post straight into the ledger rather than being reconciled afterwards.

How does shop-floor booking work in practice?

On a terminal or tablet at the work centre, against the operation, at the time it happens. That single entry drives job costing, the capacity picture and the correction applied to standard times, which is why it is worth insisting on rather than collecting on paper.

Can Production Manager be changed to match our process?

That is the usual route. A fitted build sets up your work centres, routings, BOM structure, booking terminals, scrap and yield rules, branding and up to two integrations. Budget toward the upper end of the one to three week range.

What does it cost to run?

Hosting only, paid to your own cloud provider, roughly $50 to $200 a month, rising with how much booking history you retain.

Want Production Manager shaped around your process?

A fitted build adjusts fields, stages, roles and integrations to how your team already works. One scoping call, a fixed price, one to three weeks.
