Operation example related to manufacturing service / BTO
The following is an example (issue and solution) of how to deal with embedded products (Build To Order) in manufacturing services.
- Difficult to manage product numbers due to the huge variety of finished products
- Traceability was difficult because the data of delivered parts was not linked to the data of shipped finished products. (It took a long time to respond to inquiries about finished products.)
- When the following method is adopted, the part number is set to order number of the finished product. The limits of management have virtually disappeared.
- Create shipping slips for finished products using the barcode on the processing instructions as a key. This eliminates the need to link the parts delivery slip with the finished product shipping slip, and saves a great deal of time. (History search is also possible.)
