Define the product structure
Agree bills of materials, units, variants and who authorizes revisions. A clean item list is a foundation for useful planning.
Manufacturing
Make the production record match the work.
For manufacturers reviewing how materials, orders, work steps, stock and quality records connect. Start with a representative product and the decisions needed to produce it.
Discuss your projectDesign around the operating decisions
Map actual production
Document work steps, resource constraints, consumption and the way scrap or rework is recorded. Test the chosen process before scaling it.
Connect quality and stock
Decide which checks and traceability records are required, who releases finished goods and how exceptions are handled.
Validate the data before automating
Identify the authoritative source for each important record and resolve conflicting definitions. Separate the historical data needed for daily operations from archives that can remain outside the first release. Agree who cleans, approves and maintains the information.
Map any website, finance, payment or specialist-system connections explicitly. The interface needs an owner, a way to handle failed transfers and a clear source of truth when two systems disagree. A named application does not prove that a ready-made integration fits the workflow.
Test the real exceptions
- A production order consumes the intended materials and records exceptions.
- A revised product structure follows the agreed authorization route.
- Finished stock and relevant traceability records reconcile with the production result.
Set the first-phase boundary
Choose one complete workflow that a business owner can accept. Document roles, required reports, dependencies, data preparation and the transition from the current process. Country-specific accounting or record requirements should be validated for the actual entity and selected software version.
What to bring
Bring a product structure, a production order, a quality record and a stock adjustment. Machine interfaces and specialist quality requirements need separate assessment.
Questions before a project begins
Must we replace every existing system?
No. First map which systems already do their job well and where handoffs fail. A project may improve a workflow, integrate systems or replace a specific tool; the proposal should explain the choice.
Can the website be included?
A bilingual website, enquiry journey or portal can be discussed where relevant. Define the content, data exchange, access and ongoing editing responsibilities as part of the scope.

A useful next step
Bring one real workflow.
A sample document, the systems you use and the decision you need to make are enough to start a focused conversation.
