Manufacturing in Ofbiz

jyoti
Hi,

I have a requirement for which i was working on Manufacturing-> Production Run component of ofbiz. An example scenerio is as follows:-

I manufacture various parts of a computer like hard disk, ram, monitor etc using Production Run. Now, i send these parts to some third party to assemble them in order to make computer and send the computers to me.
In this, i send some set of products(ram, hard disk) to third party and they return a different product(computer) to me in return. How can i keep record and have some link of these outgoing products and incoming product in my system?

Is something already there to support this kind of requirement in ofbiz?
                                             
                                                  Thanks in advance.

Jyoti

AFAIK no. There is something somewhat similar but less extended (only internal move part, not directly production related and not 3rd parties) pending . Maybe it can inspire you...

Hi Jyoti,

Unfortunately no. This is a typical example of dynamic routing of tasks in
a production run to manufacturing partners and  one of the problem areas I
(and my team) identified in the EU IMAGINE project (see
http://www.imagine-futurefactory.eu/).

The problem involves not only the assignment of a (external) manufacturing
partner to a specific task, but also invoking triggers for inventory
release and shipment of components., update of task statuses (by the
manufacturing partner) and when inbound good movements have been registered
(by your warehousing dept) uptake of the goods received in the production
run for further execution (e.g. packaging).

Regards,

Pierre Smits

Luckily, OOTB you can apply generic use-cases to facilitate your needs a
great deal. Think of split-up of BoM and production schemas with various
stock goods (eg 'set of components') that are used to track/trace/manage
and value activities performed by your manufacturing partner (sub
contractor?)
