OPERA 3 - Bill of Materials

The OPERA 3 Bill of Materials module has an intuitive interface. Whether it's a simple or complex assembly structure these can be quickly and easily defined from stock components — raw materials, labour and description only items and any specialist documentation, such as technical drawings, can also be attached to each structure.

Take Control of Manufacturing Requirements
OPERA 3 Bill of Materials takes full control of the manufacturing requirements. Before starting the manufacturing process a trial build can be performed. This calculates whether there are enough stock components to complete the required quantity of the final assembly, and identifies any shortfalls. It also caters for the substitution of components on a works order and can adjust the quantity to build accordingly. As the manufacturing process begins with the works order, the stock can be automatically allocated and issued and, when the works order is completed, the finished assembly can be updated with the build quantity. Alternatively, there is the flexibility to elect to operate these processes separately. The Bill of Materials kitting function gives further flexibility by enabling works orders to be raised and receive the build quantity of the finished assembly into stock in a single process.

Reporting and Enquiring Facilities
The Bill of Materials module provides fast and accurate manufacturing information and locating a particular batch/serial item used on a works order is easily achieved using the Traceable View function.
