Overview
The Material Staging app helps manufacturers identify, prepare, and stage materials.
The app simplifies material organization by suggesting kits for production orders, allowing modifications, and staging them in a designated bin. Workers can then mix, prepare, and move materials to production at the right time, reducing delays and keeping operations on track.
Key Features
Automatic Kit Grouping: Assign a kit group code to items so they can be automatically grouped into kits in a staging area, with optional sub-grouping for more detailed organization.
Bulk Handling Option: Designate a bulk unit of measure to move bulk items into the staging area.
Flexible Kit Management: Kit group codes flow through to production BOMs and production orders but can be adjusted at any time.
Smart Kit Suggestions: Generate suggested kits for selected production orders, ensuring materials are grouped effectively.
Batch-Based Kit Creation: Create kits based on how a production order is split into batches. (Requires the Production Batching app.)
Picking & Staging: Pick items to fulfill orders and place them in designated staging bins for preparation.
Production Integration: Once kits are prepared, move them to the production-in bin, ensuring they’re ready for consumption.
