Demand
Know what to produce, why, and when.
Industry solutions
From demand to materials, production, and cost
The manufacturing scope organises demand, recipe, material requirements, production stages, outputs, and differences while linking each movement to its source, owner, and financial effect.
ARMADAAn operating model that connects demand to output
Materials
Plan requirements against available and purchased quantities.
Production order
Clear stages, responsibilities, and states.
Financial effect
Connect material, labour, and difference movements to a reviewable source.
Applications supporting the manufacturing cycle
Manufacturing
Demand, recipe, stages, quantities, outputs, and exceptions.
Inventory
Material availability, issue, return, and receipt by location.
Purchasing
Source shortages from a known supplier through demand, approval, and receipt.
Accounting
A controlled financial effect based on posted documents and movement.
The production-order journey
- 1
Demand
A clear quantity, date, and reason for production.
- 2
Plan and materials
Recipe, stages, and requirements compared with availability.
- 3
Execute
Issue materials and record outputs and differences by stage.
- 4
Close and review
Confirm the result and review quantities and financial effect.
Data that controls the production order
- 1
Product and recipe
Components, units, alternatives, and waste.
- 2
Work stages
Stations, time, and responsibility for each transition.
- 3
Review
Inspection, rejection, and rework points.
- 4
Cost
How materials, labour, and differences should be treated.
Controls that protect quantity and cost
No issue without a source
Every material leaves a known location under a document and authority.
Differences remain visible
Waste, rejection, and rework need a reason and authorised decision.
Posted documents preserve history
Correction uses reversal or a new document, never a silent edit.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you decide
Can a product have more than one recipe or substitute?
Recipes, alternatives, units, and substitution rules are defined in the factory scope, then their quantity and cost effects are tested before launch.
How are waste and rejection shown?
They remain visible as differences with a known reason, quantity, stage, and owner rather than disappearing into a balance adjustment.
Is cost a stored number changed manually?
Balances and financial effects are derived from movement and posted documents. Corrections preserve history through a reversal or new document.
