BOM and scrap assumptions live in files while warehouse staff calculate issues manually.
MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS SOLUTION
Connect BOMs, materials, operations and finished goods in one production flow
Cogover Manufacture expands demand from the BOM, creates production and material-issue work, tracks operations and actual output, then returns finished goods to Inventory.

BOTTLENECKS
When the BOM, material issue and shop-floor report do not refer to the same order
WIP and operation progress is reported through chat, obscuring whether work is waiting for material or approval.
Actual output, remaining quantity, defects and finished-goods receipts cannot be traced to one order.
SOLUTION
A process with clear data, responsibilities and control points
- Multi-level BOMs and scrap produce material demand that can be checked against availability.
- Material issues, operations and elapsed time remain linked to the production order.
- Actual output, remaining quantity and finished-goods receipts retain their source relationship.
APPS & PLATFORM
Manufacture manages the order; Inventory executes material and finished-goods movements
The BOM and production order define demand, Inventory confirms actual issues and receipts, operations capture real work, and Process routes exceptions.
BOM & production order
Manage variants, multi-level BOMs, scrap, quantities, source and finished-goods warehouses.
Material issue
Create Inventory movements while preserving lot, serial, location and actual issue results.
Operations & WIP
Capture owner, status, start/end time and output at each production step.
Finished goods
Receive finished goods and keep remaining quantities linked to the original order.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions businesses commonly ask
Does Cogover support multi-level BOMs and scrap allowances?
Manufacture can expand multi-level BOMs, consolidate duplicate materials and calculate scrap allowances by percentage or fixed quantity. The structure should be tested against a real BOM.
How are material shortages handled?
The system can compare demand with available inventory and suggest a supply source. An authorized person still decides whether to substitute materials, split an order or change the plan.
Can time be tracked for each operation?
Operations can record start time, actual duration and completion time. The update process and responsible person should be agreed with the production team.
