How you make it
These are different jobs. A recipe moves through stages and consumes a bill of materials. A kit or a repack is one scan in and one output. A make-to-order job exists because a customer order needs it. Many sites use more than one.
A job follows a bill of materials. Ingredients are consumed, the steps are worked in order, and the finished quantity is received back into stock.
A food plant mixing, cooking, and packing a batch. Each stage has its own area. The batch is not finished until the last stage is recorded.
A short job. Scan what went in, receive what came out. There is no long list of rooms to walk through.
A warehouse that splits a carton of 12 into retail packs, or builds a kit from three components. Scan the input, confirm the output, and the stock is updated.
The job exists because a customer order needs it. Materials are reserved for that order, and the output is for that customer.
A contract packer. The sales order says 400 units of a customer's own label. The job consumes the ingredients reserved for that order, and the output is for that order.
Some products follow a recipe, some are a kit or a repack, and some are made only when an order arrives. The product decides which.
A site that cooks its own product in the morning and, in the afternoon, relabels bought-in stock. Both update the same inventory.
A few questions about what you make, how many stages it has, and when it can be picked. The result names a primary job, and what you would run beside it.
Question 1 of 4
On the floor
Ingredients, the steps, and the finished output are parts of the same job. A short kit still records what went in and what came out. A longer recipe adds the stages in between.
The job records which stock was consumed. Where the product is tracked by batch or date, that identity moves with the ingredient.
Flour and a flavouring are issued to a batch. The flavouring is a lot. That lot is on the finished batch, so a hold on the flavouring can find every batch that used it.
A longer job is a sequence of steps, often in different areas. A form can be required before the step starts or before it is signed off.
Mixing is in one room and packing is in another. The packer only sees the batch once mixing is complete, and the prestart check is on the packing step.
The quantity made is received, with its date or batch. It can be palletised and labelled, then put away so the warehouse can pick it.
A batch yields 40 cartons. They are labelled, put on a pallet, and put away. The warehouse can pick that batch once it is released.
Release
Some products can be picked the moment they are made. Others stay on hold until quality releases them. The hold is on the batch, so the rest of the warehouse does not have to wait.
Finished goods can be picked as soon as they are received. There is no quality hold in the way.
A kit is built for this afternoon's orders. As soon as the output is received, those orders can pick it.
Finished goods are received onto a hold. They cannot be picked until a quality check is completed and the batch is released.
A food batch is packed and labelled, then sits on hold. Quality completes the form. Only then can picking see that batch.
