Materials

Some guides on capturing Material information

Start with a comprehensive analysis of all the materials involved. This includes raw materials, finished goods, intermediate materials, and consumables. By documenting each material, you can create a complete inventory of your production inputs, which can be valuable for managing costs and identifying opportunities for optimisation.

Once you have recorded each material, group them into Material groups such as raw materials, semi-finished, finished goods, and packing materials. This provides a more organised structure for tracking and monitoring materials throughout the production process.

As you evaluate each type of material, also record any attributes and tolerances that may be associated with them.

For example, certain raw materials may have specific requirements for temperature, humidity, or storage conditions. By documenting these attributes and tolerances, you can ensure that materials are properly handled and monitored throughout the production process.
