If you learn about a material shortage when the line stops, the system is paper.
Digitize manufacturing: raw materials, production and costing
Digitizing a factory doesn’t start with sensors. It starts with bills of materials, recorded work orders and inventory that updates as production consumes it.
By Nour Aldein Tleti. Updated .
How do I track raw materials in a factory?
Define a bill of materials for each product, create a manufacturing order for each batch, and let the system reserve and consume the components. Track lots where traceability matters, record scrap, and set reorder rules so purchasing starts before stock runs out.
A practical path
- 01
Bills of materials
Every product defined by components and quantities.
- 02
Inventory locations
Raw materials, WIP and finished goods separated.
- 03
Manufacturing orders
Each batch recorded, consuming components.
- 04
Work orders and costing
Operations timed and costed when ready.

- Odoo Manufacturing (MRP) in the UAEProduction planning shouldn’t live in someone’s head and a WhatsApp group.
- ERP and digital systems for manufacturers in the UAEA factory runs on three numbers: what’s in stock, what’s being made, and what it really costs.
- Odoo Inventory: warehouse and stock managementIf the system says 40 and the shelf says 32, every other number is wrong too.
Start with one product line
We’ll digitize one product end to end, then extend.
