Manufacturing & Production
Bills of materials, work orders, and batch records for making products.
Batch records
- Batch records overviewWhat batch records are and how they capture compliant, documented production runs.
- Procedures (manufacturing instructions)Write the ordered, step-by-step instructions operators follow during a batch.
- Master batch recordsBuild the approved, reusable template that every production run is created from.
- Issued batch recordsGenerate a working copy of a master for a specific run and record it as you go.
- Batch record typesThe difference between master and issued records, and how to choose a structure.
- Complete and sign batch recordsReview a finished run, capture sign-offs, and lock the record as a permanent document.
- Lot genealogy and traceabilityTrace which material lots went into a finished batch, and where each batch was used.
BOM & assembly
- Create a bill of materials (BOM)Define the components and quantities needed to make a product.
- Master BOM editorBuild and maintain a product's bill of materials from one editable line-item screen.
- Multi-level and nested BOMsUse sub-assemblies as components so complex products build in stages.
- Assemblies and sub-assembliesProduce intermediate made items and consume them in higher-level builds.
- Production costs and costingHow Fiddle rolls up component, labor, and overhead costs into a product's build cost.
Work orders
- Work order lifecycle and statusesThe stages a work order moves through from draft to completed, and what each means.
- Create and complete a work orderProduce a finished good — consume components and receive output into stock.
- Issue materials to a work orderConsume components from stock when production starts and handle usage variances.
- The work order boardTrack and move production at a glance with a status-column board view.
- WorkstationsOrganize production by area or machine and route work orders to the right place.
- Production planning and schedulingPlan what to build and when so materials, capacity, and due dates line up.
