Odoo Manufacturing – Plan production, secure quality, control cost
Integrated production control for manufacturing companies
Odoo Manufacturing manages the entire production process — from bill of materials to manufacturing order to dispatch. The system coordinates operations, tracks material consumption and provides real-time work-centre KPIs.
Operators capture progress directly on a tablet; planners see bottlenecks immediately and can reschedule.
Core capabilities of Odoo Manufacturing
Multi-level bills of materials
A BoM defines components, quantities and operations per product. Multi-level BoMs (semi-finished goods, sub-assemblies) are exploded automatically; by-products can be recorded.
Operations and work centres
Each operation is assigned to a work centre (machine, line, operator). Odoo plans capacity and computes Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) automatically.
Shop floor view
Operators capture times, progress and material consumption directly on a tablet or terminal. The view shows only the orders relevant to that work centre.
Lot and serial tracking in production
Components consumed and finished goods produced are linked to lots or serial numbers — traceability down to component level.
Subcontracting
Parts of production can be outsourced. Odoo tracks delivery dates, manages material provisioning and ensures quality control with external partners.
Master Production Schedule (MPS)
The MPS dashboard supports mid- and long-term production planning based on demand forecasts, safety stock and lead times. Shortages are surfaced early.
Why Odoo Manufacturing
No production stoppage from material shortages
MRP identifies shortages before production starts and triggers orders or manufacturing orders for semi-finished goods in good time.
OEE at the click of a button
Machine utilisation, scrap and downtime are captured per work centre automatically and reported as OEE metrics.
Traceability to component level
In the event of a complaint, the affected batch is identified in minutes. End-to-end lot and serial number tracking is standard.
Quality integrated, not bolt-on
Inspection points at defined production stages prevent defective parts from progressing. Scrap and rework costs decrease.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is OEE and how does Odoo calculate it?
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) measures availability, performance and quality of a work centre. Odoo computes OEE automatically from work-centre and production data.
Does Odoo support make-to-order?
Yes. MTO orders automatically generate a manufacturing order as soon as a customer order arrives — including material reservation.
Can Odoo handle full subcontracting?
Yes. Material provisioning, receipt and quality control with external manufacturing partners are integrated.
