Manufacturing ERP Software

Plan and build a manufacturing ERP that tracks materials from purchase through BOM explosion, shop-floor work orders, work-in-progress, finished goods, and quality release—using the same terminology your planners and supervisors already use.

What this solution covers

Manufacturing ERP software connects procurement, engineering data (BOMs and routings), production execution, inventory, and dispatch. Tilva Artsoft builds these capabilities as a customized web or mobile-accessible system—not as a fixed product with unused modules. Scope depends on whether you run discrete assembly, batch processing, job-shop style orders, or a mix across plants.

A tailored build helps when standard ERP packages require heavy workarounds for your units of measure, scrap rules, subcontract steps, or partial completions. We document your current paperwork and spreadsheets first, then align screens and approvals to that reality.

Who this is for

Discrete manufacturers

Assembly lines, multi-level BOMs, and order-driven production with material backflush or manual issue.

Process & batch units

Formula-based consumption, tank or batch IDs, and yield adjustments between planned and actual output.

Job shops

One-off or small-lot work orders, engineering changes, and variable routings per customer specification.

Multi-plant groups

Central item masters with plant-specific capacity, transfers, and consolidated management views.

Production workflow (crawlable overview)

Material planning through dispatch, expressed as the stages we typically model during discovery.

  1. Material planning

    Forecasts or sales orders drive MRP-style suggestions. Planners review shortages, substitute materials where allowed, and convert approved plans into purchase requests or internal transfers.

  2. Purchase & receipt

    Goods inward updates on-hand stock with lot or batch references when you track them. QC hold locations can block use until inspection passes.

  3. BOM & routing

    Engineering maintains BOM revisions, quantities, and optional phantom assemblies. Routings define sequence, work centers, and expected times for capacity planning.

  4. Work order release

    Supervisors release orders to the floor with pick lists. Status moves from planned → released → in progress with start timestamps and operator notes.

  5. Material issue & WIP

    Issues consume raw and WIP locations. Partial completions increase WIP value until the final operation. Scrap and rework quantities can be captured with reason codes.

  6. Production & quality check

    Operations report output per step. QC records measurements or pass/fail checks before stock moves to finished goods.

  7. Finished goods & dispatch

    Completed quantity posts to FG warehouses. Sales shipments reduce FG and generate delivery documentation linked to the originating work order when required.

Core modules we commonly implement

Bill of materials (BOM)

Maintained by engineering; defines components, quantities, and revision control. Supports costing snapshots and where-used inquiries for change impact.

Production planning

Used by planners to balance demand, capacity, and material availability. Outputs planned orders before formal work order creation.

Work orders

Shop supervisors and operators update status, report quantities, and log downtime or notes per operation.

WIP & material consumption

Storekeepers issue materials; system tracks WIP balances by order and operation. Wastage entries adjust expected vs actual usage.

Finished goods & inventory

FG receipts from production integrate with sales allocation and stock valuation views finance relies on.

Quality records (QC)

QC staff capture inspection results, hold/release decisions, and non-conformance notes tied to batches or orders.

Roles & permissions

  • Administrator: master data, plants, users, approval matrices.
  • Production planner: MRP review, planned orders, capacity views.
  • Shop supervisor: release/hold work orders, reassign operations.
  • Operator: start/stop operations, report good/scrap qty (mobile optional).
  • Storekeeper: issues, returns to stock, inter-warehouse moves.
  • QC inspector: inspection entry, hold tags, release to FG.
  • Finance/accounting: read-only costing, period close exports.

Reports & dashboards

  • Open and overdue work orders by work center
  • Material shortage list tied to released orders
  • WIP aging and order-wise completion percentage
  • Scrap and rework summary by reason code
  • FG stock vs open sales demand
  • Role-based landing tiles (planner vs supervisor vs management)

Customization, integrations & security

Web dashboards plus optional mobile views for floor reporting can be scoped early. Data import from legacy spreadsheets, label printers, weigh scales, or accounting packages is planned after reviewing your existing tools—we do not promise specific vendor connectors without assessment.

Security typically includes role-based access, authentication suitable for your IT policy, audit logs on master and transaction changes, and backup procedures aligned with your hosting choice.

Frequently asked questions

What is manufacturing ERP software?

It is an integrated system that links BOMs, production orders, inventory, and quality so you can see what to make, with which materials, and what is already on the floor.

Can the workflow match our factory steps?

Yes. Custom development means operation names, approval gates, scrap rules, and units of measure follow your process rather than a generic template.

Can we support multiple plants or branches?

Multi-location inventory, transfers, and consolidated reporting can be included when your rollout plan requires it.

Can we start with a few modules?

Phased delivery is common—for example work orders and inventory first, then planning or QC depth in a later phase.

What do you need to estimate scope?

Sample BOMs, order documents, role list, integration points, and which reports leadership uses today. We provide estimates after discovery—not fixed public price lists.

How long does development take?

Duration depends on module count, integrations, and data migration complexity. Timeline is agreed in the proposal after requirements are understood.
