Manufacturing Module

Bill of Materials (BOM)

Create detailed BOMs with materials, quantities, and assembly instructions.

Production Planning

Schedule production runs, allocate resources, and optimize workflows.

Quality Control

Track quality checkpoints and maintain production standards.

The Manufacturing Module integrates with inventory, purchasing, and sales to provide complete production visibility and control.
