Odoo Manufacturing Apps Add Extra Features to your Odoo Manufacturing Module

Odoo has all the necessary features to effectively and efficiently manage a manufacturing industry. It helps the end user to handle the complexity of production, manage bills of materials, plan manufacturing orders and track work orders etc.

Odoo Manufacturing enables the end users to create the manufacturing order of a product and pass them in different stages in a production line throughout the complete production cycle. The user can also customize manufacturing procedure matching their company’s process using WorkCentre and other routing concepts.

Odoo manufacturing also enables a user to manage ‘Scraps’ during any stage of the manufacturing procedure and ‘Unbuild’ a manufactured product if needed. An organization may assign different level users to overlook the entire manufacturing procedure for effective management of the entire process.

If we compare Odoo manufacturing module with other ERP solution, like in all other modules we can find a lot of unique features which Odoo alone have.

For example, features like byproducts, routing facility, single BOM for multiple product variants, MRP II scheduler, Master production scheduler, Kanban Planning, Production calendar, Backward scheduling, Work orders, Repair etc. are not available in SAP ERP, while Odoo implements all of them.

And against Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo have the advantage of features like Equipment / Machine Management, Work Instructions on Work Orders, Maintenance Requests from Shop Floor Terminal, Production calendar etc.
