Manufacturing operations workspace guide

What the Manufacturing workspace covers

Connect production, bills of material, inventory, purchasing, quality, work orders and factory reporting.

The workspace brings together products and bills of material, production orders and work centres, raw materials and inventory, purchasing and suppliers, quality checks and non-conformance, maintenance and downtime, costing and production reports. Each area is connected through shared records, role-based access and operational reporting so teams can see the full path from request to outcome.

Core topics and records

Use the workspace to manage products and bills of material, production orders and work centres, raw materials and inventory, purchasing and suppliers, quality checks and non-conformance, maintenance and downtime, costing and production reports. Start with the records that define your operation, then add owners, statuses, dates, documents and approval steps so the team can work from a consistent source of truth.

A typical operating workflow

Create the product structure, plan production, reserve materials, execute the work order, capture quality outcomes and reconcile production, inventory and cost reports.

Use dashboards, saved views, reports and AI & Automation entry points to reduce routine follow-up while keeping managers in control of important decisions.

Permissions, automation and reporting

Workspace access is governed by organisation membership, product entitlements and role permissions. The same tenant isolation rules apply to records, reports and AI-assisted workflows.

Once the core records are reliable, automate reminders, approvals, exception alerts and summaries that help the team act sooner without losing visibility.
