Reports

Production Intelligence

Make data-driven decisions with comprehensive manufacturing reports

Production Output Report

Daily, weekly, monthly output by product, work center, and shift. Compare planned vs actual quantities.

Cost Analysis Report

Break down production costs by material, labor, and overhead. Identify cost variances and optimization opportunities.

OEE Dashboard

Track Overall Equipment Effectiveness with availability, performance, and quality metrics for each work center.

Material Consumption

Track raw material usage by product and batch. Monitor scrap rates and identify waste reduction opportunities.

Cycle Time Analysis

Measure actual vs standard cycle times. Identify bottlenecks and optimize production scheduling.

Quality Control Report

Track defect rates, rejection reasons, and quality trends. Essential for TBS compliance and continuous improvement.

In practice

Trusted by Manufacturers

"Material waste is one of the largest hidden costs in Tanzanian manufacturing. BOM management with real-time consumption tracking turns invisible waste into a number on the dashboard."

Production manager

Plastics manufacturer · Dar es Salaam

"Pharma traceability is a TFDA expectation that ad-hoc spreadsheets cannot deliver reliably. Batch tracking from raw material to finished product removes the audit anxiety."

Quality manager

Pharma manufacturer · Arusha

"Excel-based work-centre scheduling caps throughput well below what the equipment can deliver. Automating the scheduling unlocks the spare capacity that was always there."

FAQ

Common Questions

Can it handle multi-level BOMs?

Yes! Create nested BOMs where sub-assemblies have their own BOMs. The system calculates total material requirements across all levels.

Does it integrate with inventory?

Absolutely! Raw materials are consumed from inventory, and finished goods are received into stock automatically when production completes.

Can I track production costs?

Yes, track material costs, labor costs, and overhead. Compare planned vs actual costs for each manufacturing order.

Does it support batch and lot tracking?

Yes! Track batches through production with full traceability from raw materials to finished goods. Essential for food and pharma compliance.
