How Using Product Templates to Create and Utilize Semi-finished Goods
Updated over 3 months ago

In ProdSys, product templates are a key tool for efficiently managing semi-finished goods, which are intermediate products used in the production of other items. Here's how ProdSys leverages product templates to create and utilize semi-finished goods:

  1. Creating Product Templates for Semi-finished Goods: In ProdSys, users can create product templates to define the structure and properties of semi-finished goods. These templates serve as a blueprint, including important information such as:

    • Bill of Materials (BOM)

    • Production steps or workflows

    • Specifications for raw materials and components By standardizing this information in a template, companies can streamline the creation of semi-finished goods across different production runs.

  2. Using Semi-finished Goods in Production: Once a semi-finished product is defined using a product template, it can be incorporated into the production process for final products. ProdSys allows semi-finished goods to be used as components in the Bill of Materials for other products, simplifying multi-stage production processes. As the semi-finished good is produced, it can be tracked in inventory and used as an input for the next production stage.

  3. Inventory and Production Tracking: ProdSys ensures that semi-finished goods are tracked throughout their lifecycle, from production to their use in final product manufacturing. This includes monitoring inventory levels, production orders, and usage in real-time, ensuring that production lines have the necessary components when they need them.

  4. Reuse and Consistency: The product template feature in ProdSys allows businesses to reuse standard designs and specifications for semi-finished goods. This ensures consistency in production and reduces the time needed to create new production orders, as semi-finished goods can easily be replicated using the defined templates.

By using product templates for semi-finished goods in ProdSys, businesses can achieve more efficient production planning, reduce errors, and optimize resource allocation in multi-stage manufacturing processes.
