Manufacturing
Plan every build and keep the materials, work and cost together.
Define the materials and production steps for each variant, schedule manufacturing orders, pick ingredients, record output and see material and operation cost in one place.
What it helps you do
What your team can do in Olonka.
Keep each product definition complete
Scope materials and production steps to the product variants that use them.
Give the floor a clear queue
Schedule manufacturing orders and turn their operations into work the team can run.
Review cost with the work
See material and operation cost on the same order that records what was made.
Product setup
Keep the recipe with the variant that uses it.
A bill of materials (BOM) lists what a product needs. In Olonka, material and operation rows can be scoped to the variant settings they apply to.
- Set ingredient quantities and apply them to the matching variant settings.
- Define each production step, the resource it uses and its expected time.
- Keep the product definition ready for make-to-order or make-to-stock work.
Schedule + tasks
Move from a planned order to the work on the floor.
A manufacturing order (MO) brings the quantity, due date, ingredients and production steps together. Schedule the order, check whether materials are available and place its operations in the right task queues.
- Review manufacturing orders by status, due date and production time.
- Pick the ingredients used and record the finished output.
- Start, pause, resume and finish the operations behind the order.
Supply choices
Use the manufacturing flow that matches the demand.
Some work starts with a customer order, some replenishes stock and some is completed by an outside supplier. Olonka keeps those paths connected to the product and inventory records they affect.
- Create make-to-order work for a specific customer requirement.
- Create make-to-stock work to replenish inventory.
- Record subcontract work when part of the build happens outside your team.
Manufacturing workflow
From product definition to finished output.
The same product setup carries through planning, execution, inventory and cost review.
Define the product
Add the variant BOM, output quantity, production steps, resources and expected time.
Create and schedule the order
Set the quantity and dates, then check ingredients before work starts.
Pick and run the work
Record ingredients, move through each operation and capture time and notes.
Finish and review
Record output, update stock and review the material and operation cost.
Start with one product
Make the same product right, every time.
Choose a product you make, define its materials and steps and follow the next build through Olonka.
