One Shared Foundation Production does not start as an isolated process on the shop floor. In twyz, production orders can be linked to customer orders. Quantities, schedules, references, and other order-related information remain connected to actual customer demand. Especially in make-to-order manufacturing and customer-specific production, this creates a shared foundation for planning, material management, and subsequent order processing.
Identify Shortages Earlier Before production begins, it is possible to check how many units can be manufactured using the available components. twyz considers both overall inventory availability and the stock available in the designated production warehouse. Missing components become visible earlier – before a production order is released without sufficient material availability. Mobile inventory transactions using the twyz.storage App help keep inventory information up to date directly in the warehouse.
Procurement Directly Integrated When additional materials are required, production remains connected to purchasing and inventory management. Suppliers, material requirements, inquiries, and purchase orders can be managed within the same process environment. This means production requirements, purchasing activities, and inventory levels do not have to be tracked independently of one another.
Combine Standardization with Customization Required materials are taken from the stored bills of materials. They can be adjusted for a specific production order: Optional components can be removed and additional materials can be added. This allows standardized product structures to be combined with the variations that arise in customer-specific orders and product configurations.
Manage Multi-Stage Manufacturing If a finished product consists of internally manufactured assemblies or intermediate products, separate sub-production orders can be created. These subordinate production orders remain connected to the main production order. This enables multi-stage manufacturing structures to be represented transparently, without treating each production stage as an isolated process.
Information Directly at the Workstation With Process.Client, defined production workflows can be made available directly on PCs or tablets in production and warehousing. Employees are guided through predefined process steps and receive the information required for their specific tasks. Depending on the configuration, images of items, bundles, or bills of materials can help employees correctly identify components and assemblies.
Connect Production and Warehousing Directly Completed partial quantities, material movements, and inventory levels remain connected to the production process. With the twyz.storage App, employees can also manage warehouse processes directly on site – for example, recording items and storage locations, processing inventory movements, or picking materials. This eliminates the need to record warehouse information on paper and transfer it into the system later. Production and warehousing work with the same shared data foundation.
Seamless Processes Through to Billing Once production is complete, the process does not end at the workbench. Warehousing, inventory movements, shipping, order management, and invoicing can all continue within the shared twyz platform. This creates a seamless connection from initial customer demand through to delivery and financial processing.
Connected Orders and Production Production orders can be linked directly to customer orders. This makes it easy to track which customer requirements are being fulfilled and how quantities, schedules, and references are connected.
Check Material Availability Before Release twyz compares available components with production requirements. This enables production managers to identify at an early stage whether the planned quantity can actually be manufactured with the materials available.
Flexible Bills of Materials Bills of materials provide a reusable foundation without imposing rigid structures on every special case. Materials for a specific production order can be adjusted when product variants or customer-specific requirements differ from the standard configuration.
Manage Multi-Stage Manufacturing Assemblies and intermediate products with their own bills of materials can be created as sub-production orders and remain linked to the main production order. This supports companies whose manufacturing processes involve multiple interconnected production stages.
Complete Partial Quantities Step by Step Longer production orders do not have to remain entirely open until the full quantity has been completed. Finished units or partial quantities can be completed individually and reflected in inventory records.
Connect Production and ERP Process.Client brings defined workflows from production management directly to the workstation. Employees receive an interface tailored to their operational tasks instead of having to navigate the entire ERP application.
Integrate Warehousing and Production Material reservations, component consumption, and the receipt of finished goods are connected to inventory management. This ensures that production progress and inventory movements are managed within the same system rather than in separate applications.
Adapt Processes to Your Business Production workflows can be connected with configurable workflows as well as project and ticket processes. This allows company-specific procedures to be structured and managed without treating production as an isolated application.
