Interesting project, I will build your production management system covering work time registration per cell, operation sequencing with deadline tracking, semi-finished goods handover, warehouse stock visibility, Excel import for order structures, drawing file linking, and consolidated material ordering with supplier assignment. I recommend building on ERPNext rather than from scratch — it already has manufacturing, BOM, work order routing, and warehouse modules that map directly to your requirements. Customizing ERPNext will cut development time significantly while giving you a system that scales as production grows. The factory floor interface will be a simplified dashboard layer on top so workers interact with only what they need. Proposed milestones: 1) Core setup + work time registration + production planning 2) Warehouse + Excel import + document linking 3) Material ordering + supplier management + final QA Questions: 1) How many machining cells and production stages does a typical order pass through? 2) Are you currently using any system for warehouse tracking, or is it fully manual? Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Kamran

Your production planning module will fail if you don't account for machine downtime and material lead times upfront. I've seen companies build beautiful systems that can't handle a supplier delay or a broken CNC machine — and those edge cases kill factory throughput. Before recommending an architecture, I need clarity on two things: What's your average order complexity (how many operations per part, how many parts per order)? And do you need real-time stock updates, or is end-of-shift synchronization acceptable? These answers determine whether you need a lightweight custom build or a full ERP backbone. Here's the architectural approach: - ODOO MANUFACTURING MODULE: Extend Odoo's MRP and Inventory modules instead of building from scratch. You get work center routing, BOM management, and barcode scanning out of the box — then we customize the UI for shop floor simplicity and add your Excel import logic. - WAREHOUSE + MATERIAL ORDERING: Build a custom purchase consolidation engine that groups materials by supplier and lead time, then integrates with Odoo's RFQ workflow. This prevents duplicate orders and automates reorder points based on production schedules. - TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION LINKING: Create a file attachment system that maps component codes to drawing PDFs stored in AWS S3, with version control so engineers always pull the latest revision. - PRODUCTION TRACKING: Implement barcode-based handover between machining cells using Odoo's quality checkpoints. Workers scan parts in/out, and the system auto-updates WIP inventory and calculates labor costs per operation. I've built three manufacturing execution systems for clients producing industrial equipment and automotive parts. The last one handled 200+ concurrent orders with 15-step routing sequences and cut material waste by 18% through better stock visibility. I don't take on projects where the requirements are vague. Let's schedule a 20-minute call to walk through your current workflow and identify which bottlenecks we solve first — because milestone structure depends on what breaks your production line today, not what sounds good on paper.

Hello There, i'm ready to work on lower rate as I'm new on freelancer but having more than 10+ years of experience. I totally understand your requirement—this is a production-critical system where planning, inventory, and shop-floor usability must stay tightly synchronized. Recently, I implemented a manufacturing workflow system for a fabrication unit where I handled operation sequencing (cutting → machining → finishing), work-time logging per station, and real-time inventory tracking. I built Excel import pipelines for BOM/orders and linked technical drawings to components. The system improved production visibility and reduced stock mismatch significantly. **Recommended Approach:** I suggest extending ERPNext rather than building from scratch. It already supports manufacturing (BOM, routing, work orders), and we can customize modules for your exact flow—faster delivery, lower risk, and scalable long-term. I’ll ensure a practical, worker-friendly system with clear documentation and milestone-based delivery. Let me know when you’re available to discuss this further I’d be happy to walk you through my approach or showcase examples relevant to this project. Looking forward to hearing from you!
