Production Management Case Studies

Our main task was to manage raw materials & finished goods at ease: purchase supplies, convert them into finished products, and sell them. The combination of pricing and product features made us choose Kladana over its competitors.

Kladana is quite customizable and tech-savvy for us. We can set all the processes up as we like in order to follow our protocols & to simplify the daily routine for the employees who manage transactions, and production orders. Kladana is easy to manage and understand as well.

Before Kladana, we were doing everything in Excel. All the stock and production records were maintained in spreadsheets. We weren’t able to arrange timely updates for the information about warehouse stocks: the materials we were receiving, the goods we were shipping.

In Kladana, we found the functionality we were looking for. In combination with affordability, it worked as a decisive factor. Another important area is tracking the amount of yield our company is getting. In this respect Kladana is suitable to our requirements, and we are going to start using the Financials module of the solution.

FAQ

BOMs, Routing & Operations Reports

Yes, you can create BOMs for finished goods. Indicate the number of raw materials you need to produce one item and operations costs. For more info, read the articled about BOMs.

You can’t change the routing in the existing production order. However, you can do it before creating a new production order or even before creating a BOM. Open Routing, then choose the necessary one. Here you can change the sequence of production operations, add new ones or remove those that you no longer need. Keep in mind that if you wish to add new operations, firstly, you should click Production Operations, and create new ones.

You have two options. The first one is to open Operation Reports and find the line with a necessary operation. The second option is to open a production order you need, click on Process Tracking, choose the operation you need, and click on Operation Report.

The first option it to choose a certain bill of materials → open Operations Costs. Here you can change the cost of each operation. The second option is to open the Operation Report of a finished operation, and to change Operational Cost (it’s before Total).

Production Orders

Yes, you can. Some production orders can’t be completed in one day or you can have multiple orders to process. Mark the operations as completed when you are ready.

You can complete the production order first, and fill in all the details in Kladana later.

Open Inventory. Add raw materials (e.g. wooden board), and finished products (e.g. wooden slats). Now, create a production order where you can add finished products (e.g. 10 wooden slats) and raw materials (e.g. 1 wooden board). Fill in all other necessary fields and start the production process.

Add Scrap in BOM or in a production order as a finished product before starting to produce. Define scrap quantity when a stage is completed. You can choose if the cost of scrap should be calculated in a specific production order or not.

Yes. Open the production order, click on Status → Set up. Then add all types of statuses you need and choose colours in order to visually identify them. Now you can set and change types of statuses for any order.

You may use as one warehouse for all your products, as separate warehouses for raw materials, and produced goods.
