Client Profile: Mid-Sized Plastics Manufacturer (Middle East)

Challenge: The client operated with disconnected systems: an outdated spreadsheet for production planning, basic standalone software for inventory management, and a separate accounting package. This fragmented approach resulted in inaccurate Bill of Materials (BoM), frequent stockouts of critical raw materials, and poor tracking of finished goods costs, impacting profitability and delivery schedules.

Odoo Solution: ochre.digital deployed a comprehensive Odoo ERP suite, integrating Odoo Manufacturing (MRP), Odoo Inventory, Odoo Quality, Odoo Purchasing, and Odoo Accounting. This provided a 360-degree view of the entire manufacturing process. Specific actions included:

• Designing and implementing accurate multi-level Bills of Materials (BoM) with integrated routing.

• Configuring automated minimum stock rules to trigger purchase orders (POs) directly from the Inventory app.

  • Setting up Odoo's advanced production scheduling tools for optimal resource allocation.

Key Results:

• Accurate Costing: Implemented precise BoM management and work order tracking, allowing the manufacturer to calculate and track the exact cost of raw materials, labor, and overhead for every finished product in real-time.

• Optimized Production Scheduling: Utilized Odoo's MRP features to automate production planning based on real-time sales orders and raw material availability, reducing scheduling errors and cutting overall production lead times by 20%.

• Reduced Stockouts: Achieved seamless integration between Purchasing and Inventory, leading to automated replenishment and a significant reduction in critical raw material stockouts, ensuring uninterrupted production.
