Odoo ERP for Manufacturing
Production planning, BOM management, quality control, and preventive maintenance — all in one connected system. Built for discrete, process, and lean manufacturers.
Manufacturing Challenges Odoo Eliminates
Outdated BOM Versions in Production
Production using wrong BOM versions causes material wastage and rework. Odoo PLM enforces ECO approval before any BOM change reaches the shop floor.
Reactive Equipment Maintenance
Waiting for machines to break costs 3–5× more than preventing the breakdown. Odoo Maintenance schedules preventive work orders automatically based on usage hours and calendar intervals.
No Shop Floor Visibility
Production managers need real-time visibility into which orders are on which work centers, and what the bottlenecks are. Odoo's manufacturing dashboard and Work Center view deliver this instantly.
Quality Escapes to Customers
Quality defects reaching customers cause returns, chargebacks, and lost contracts. Odoo Quality Control adds inspection gates at goods receipt, in-process, and pre-shipment stages.
Manual Procurement Triggered Too Late
Running out of raw materials halts production. Odoo's make-to-order rules automatically create purchase orders when a production order requires materials not in stock.
Unknown Product Costs
Without accurate manufacturing cost tracking (labour + material + overhead), pricing decisions are guesswork. Odoo Accounting with standard/AVCO/FIFO costing gives precise cost-per-unit data.
Odoo Modules for Manufacturing
Production orders, multi-level BOMs, work center routing, and make-to-order / make-to-stock strategies.
Inspection points, NCR management, CAPA workflows, and full lot/serial traceability.
Preventive and corrective maintenance scheduling for all equipment and work centers.
Engineering Change Order (ECO) approval workflows to protect BOM integrity on the shop floor.
Shop floor barcode scanning, IoT Box integration with factory equipment for real-time data capture.
Standard cost, AVCO, and FIFO costing with WIP accounting and manufacturing variance analysis.
Results Manufacturers Achieve
Preventive maintenance schedules eliminate the most common breakdown causes within 3 months.
Accurate production scheduling and reliable material availability drive delivery performance up from typical 70–75%.
BOM version control and quality gates reduce scrap and rework significantly.
Savings from reduced downtime, scrap, and manual labour typically recover full project cost within 7 months.
