Odoo’s manufacturing module is designed to help companies manage their manufacturing processes efficiently. It covers various aspects of production, including:

• Bill of Materials (BoM): Odoo allows you to create and manage Bills of Materials, which define the list of components and raw materials required to produce a product.
• Work Orders: You can create work orders to schedule and track the production of products. Work orders provide instructions for operators and allow you to record the time and resources used during production.
• Manufacturing Orders: Manufacturing orders provide an overview of the entire production process, including the status of work orders, the consumption of materials, and the completion of products.
• Routings: Routings define the sequences and operations required to manufacture a product. You can set up different work centers and workstations within your manufacturing process.
• Quality Control: Odoo offers quality control features to ensure that products meet the required quality standards. You can set up quality checks and inspections at various stages of production.
• Traceability: Odoo’s traceability features allow you to track the origin of materials and products, helping with compliance and quality control.
• Maintenance: You can use Odoo to manage the maintenance of equipment and machinery, ensuring that they are in good working condition for production.
• Reporting: Odoo provides various reporting and analytics tools to help you monitor your manufacturing processes, track costs, and make informed decisions.
• Integration: The manufacturing module in Odoo is integrated with other Odoo modules, such as inventory, sales, and purchase, to provide a seamless flow of information across your business processes.

Odoo provides various reporting and analytics tools to help you monitor your manufacturing processes, track costs, and make informed decisions. The ‘Reporting’ menu in the Manufacturing module in Odoo enables users to view different reports that can be customized by using various measures, and filters and group by options available in the dashboard.

There are different reports generated in the reporting feature of Odoo 16 such as Work Orders, Manufacturing Orders, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, and Production Analysis. Let’s look into each of the reports to get a clear understanding of the reporting feature of the manufacturing module in Odoo.

=> Work Orders

Work orders provide detailed information about the work to be performed, including the scope, materials, labor, and other relevant details.

The ‘Work Orders’ report has various measures to be selected to customize the report such as ‘Carried Quantity’, ‘Cost per hour’, ‘Duration (mins)’, ‘Duration Deviation (%)’, ‘Duration per unit’, ‘Expected Duration’, ‘Quantity’ and ‘Count’. The measure selected in the below screenshot is the Expected Duration.

You can view the analytics according to different stages of the work orders by selecting the desired stage from the filters option. We can also change the view of the report from a bar chart to a line chart, pie chart, Gantt chart, list, pivot table, stacked chart, and so on. Additionally, we can add a custom filter to get the required set of work orders other than the default filters available in the dashboard.

=> Manufacturing Orders

These orders provide detailed instructions for the production process, guiding the manufacturing team through the various stages of production. It typically includes a Bill of Materials (BOM), Routing or Work Instructions, Quantity and Specifications, Resource Allocation, Timeline and Scheduling, and Cost Estimation.

The report gives every detail regarding the manufacturing orders created at the selected time. The measures available in the report include ‘Product Quantity’, ‘Quantity Produced’, ‘Quantity To Produce’, and ‘Count’.

Numerous filtering options are also available in the manufacturing orders report as you can see in the image below. The filtering can be done according to various stages and periods.

The ‘Group By’ option of the manufacturing report enables the users to categorize manufacturing orders according to ‘Product’, ‘Status’, ‘Material Availability’, ‘Procurement Group’, and ‘Scheduled Date’ and also have the option to add custom groups.

=> Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

OEE provides insights into how well equipment is performing in terms of availability, performance, and quality. It is a valuable metric for assessing and improving overall operational efficiency.

The OEE Report gives insights into different measures such as the Duration of the operation in the work center, Employee Cost, and Count.

The above screenshot displays all the filter options available in the report such as Availability Losses, Performance Losses, Quality Losses, Fully Productive, Date, and Custom Filter.

The views of the reports can be changed at any time by selecting the desired view in the dashboard. We also have the ‘Group By’ option to group OEE based on the User, Work Center, and Loss Reason and can add a Custom Group. In the ‘Favourites’ option next to Group By, we can Save the current search, Link the menu in a spreadsheet, Insert the view in an article, Insert the link in an article, and add the report to a dashboard.

=> Production Analysis

The Production Analysis report of the manufacturing module provides key insights on numerous metrics such as Average Component cost per unit, Average Operation cost per unit, Average Subcontracting cost per unit, Average Total cost per unit, Duration of Operations per unit, Quantity produced, Total Component cost, Total Cost, Total Duration of Operations, Total Operation cost, Total Subcontracting cost, and Count.

If you select the ‘Pivot’ view from the top-right corner of the dashboard, you will have the option to download the table as an Excel sheet and Flip axis.

There is an additional option available in the Production Analysis report. The ‘Comparison’ button is just near the filter and the group by options is used to compare the production value of our business with a previous period and with the previous year.

With Infintor Solutions, you can gain key insights into your business’s production process. This enables managers to track any inefficiencies and improve operations. Odoo thus provides real-time analytics through its reporting feature.
