What Is a Product Order?

In Azumuta, a product order is a feature to initiate, execute, and monitor the production process of a specific product. This feature is extremely useful for any manufacturing plant, because:

• You will have a centralized platform to monitor the production process of all products in your plant in real-time.

• Each product order will have an automatically-generated report that will be saved in the Azumuta platform. This report contains various relevant information on the linked product order and batch order. You can always access this report at any point in the future. This report can be used for various purposes, such as:

  • To do a root cause analysis, should there ever be a customer complaint about that particular product/batch,
  • To fulfill product quality certifications,
  • to function as a benchmark for your product research & development,
  • And many more.

• With the batch order feature, you can create multiple product orders with just a few clicks.

An admin’s role is to create, edit, and supervise the execution of product orders. Meanwhile, an operator’s task is to work on the product orders that have been created by their admin.

A work instruction that is linked to a product order is much more powerful than any regular work instruction that is not linked to any product order, because:

• All of the operator’s action related to that work instruction (including the answer to each product checks and the time spent on each work instruction step) are recorded and can be viewed at any time on an automatically-generated report.

• If that product order was made based on an article or was made based on an input from your ERP system, then all of the work instruction’s variants & parameters will be automatically configured. You no longer need to configure them manually.

• The work instruction can be linked to multiple Docx reports.
