Manufacturing

Oktopus is the ideal affordable software for small and mid-sized manufacturing businesses to manage their production from raw materials until finished goods and shipment.

The aim is to show in live data the whole production situation of all orders in terms of inventory of materials, status of all job orders in-house/outside vendors, daily production, rejects rate, purchase requests, sales order fulfillment and BOM status.

All of this is possible via an integrated system to reflect accurate live data without excel sheets, data entry duplication and stale data. Oktopus uses a scan in and out of job orders as they move from one production station to another. Same job order number can be split into 2 or more new JO whenever partial quantity can only moved to the next station.

Here is an example of an Oktopus standard chain of processes at a manufacturing plant:

  • Cost a new collection via Item card and Bill of Material (BOM) modules
  • Create a Quotation for a client
  • Turn a quotation into a sales order and invoice
  • Determine Production order with Sales order minus Finished goods inventory
  • Create the Master Material support list (all raw materials & components) of the production order
  • Open purchase requests/orders for raw materials/components after deducting MSL from inventory
  • Open production Job Orders In house or Outside Vendors Job orders together with the Materials Support List
  • Allocation/Kitting of materials/components to JO from Inventory
  • Scanning of Job orders as they move from casting, assembly in house or outside vendors, finishing, QC, warehouse with control of the material and findings
  • Finished pieces into warehouse inventory
  • Allocate finished goods to Sales orders
  • Packing list with outer and inner boxes
  • Invoice and shipping document
