Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) for Manufacturing
In manufacturing, recipe-routing discipline, capacity planning and real-time shop-floor data require functions to see the whole chain transparently from plan to actual. Full control over every inventory process from raw-material receipt to shipment. Bin-location management, warehouse receipts, batch-lot and serial-number tracking, reservation and packing — fully integrated with production, purchasing and sales.
Manufacturing context
Why Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) works differently in Manufacturing
In Manufacturing, manufacturing operations center on sector-specific concepts such as recipe and routing, MRP, production planning. In manufacturing, recipe-routing discipline, capacity planning and real-time shop-floor data require functions to see the whole chain transparently from plan to actual.
Qera ERP's Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) module is set up around the reality of manufacturing: Tracks raw materials, WIP and finished goods on addressed racks for the right material flow to production.
- When material requirements aren't calculated at the right time, the production line stalls on material shortages.
- Idle stock drives up storage cost, while shortages put delivery commitments at risk.
- Calculating true product cost together with recipe, operation and scrap items is hard.
