Odoo Enterprise Manufacturing ERP Implementation

1. Project Overview

2. Business Challenge

The client operated complex manufacturing lines producing custom industrial equipment with 4 to 6 levels of nested sub-assemblies. Operational bottleneck was driven by fragmented tracking between raw material procurement and shop-floor assembly schedules.

3. Existing Environment

• Legacy standalone accounting system disconnected from production floor.
• Manual Excel spreadsheets for multi-level BOM calculations.
• Paper-based job cards causing work center scheduling delays.

4. Key Requirements

• Automated BOM explosion for multi-level sub-assemblies.
• Real-time work center status and work order timer tracking.
• Automated Reordering Rules (Min/Max) triggered by confirmed Manufacturing Orders (MOs).
• In-line quality check control points before inventory transfer.

5. Odoo Architecture & Core Modules

Implemented a unified Odoo Enterprise cluster configured for multi-company, multi-warehouse operational routing.

6. Custom Development

• Custom BOM revision history compare tool with visual CAD component diff.
• Automated raw material scrap margin calculator per work center routing.
• Custom shop-floor kiosk interface for tablet-based operator time logging.

7. Third-Party Integrations

• Industrial Scale Barcode Scanners via IoT Box.
• REST API connection with CAD software for automatic BOM export.

8. Implementation & Testing

Phased rollout over 16 weeks including data sanitization, parallel production runs, UAT sign-off across 4 manufacturing plants, and operator training.

9. Measurable Operational Results

10. Client Testimonial

"Gradiant's engineering team structured our multi-level BOMs into Odoo seamlessly. Production bottlenecks and material variance issues were solved directly."
