Industrial Manufacturing
Industrial manufacturing produces machinery, equipment, materials or components used in industrial operations and further production.
Definition
In general ERP practice
Industrial manufacturing produces machinery, equipment, materials or components used in industrial operations and further production.
It includes different production environments, from repeat component production to engineered equipment. The term describes a broad business activity rather than one uniform production method.
In Odoo
For an Odoo implementation, identify whether products follow make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order or mixed-mode processes before choosing routes, bills of materials and costing requirements.
Practical example
A standard spare component and a custom production machine may be sold by the same manufacturer but require different planning horizons, engineering controls and service records.
