Dear Experts,
Above is the flow of item creation at one of my clients, they are fabric manufacturers. The sales orders are made in sq. meters, for the item that you can see at very last step (Slices). For accommodating the sales order requirement my client runs a production order and produces Jumbo rolls (having Batch ID) later these Jumbo rolls are unwind and brought to the exact length that is required by the customer based on the sales order or item (2gsm-250mm width-7000m height). Now, when the Jumbo is unwind on different shafts these shafts are given a unique ID. By the way, the slitting to produce the real finished good Slit Roll is done during the unwind.
My proposal was to make semi finished through the main BOM, but my client refused to manage multiple production orders, hence I have to think for another solution to bring this production flow into one production order while consider the requirement of tracking too.
My client is very keen in knowing the trace of which Jumbo was used to produce which Standard Roll/Shaft and later which Shaft/Std. Roll was used to produce one single Slit Roll.

I hope the query provided is clear enough for your understanding, now please share your kind thoughts to help me design such routed production/batch that could achieve to expected results.
I am very thankful for your time and effort in advance.

I think that your initial proposal makes the most sense. I always argue that Inventory management benefits from having the "intermediate" items as their own unique Items. If an item can be stored on a pallet and moved around it should have a unique Item number.
There are also many ways to automate the handling of production orders so I do not see the number of production orders as something to be afraid of in itself...
That way you have more flexibility when to take the final step of the process to produce the finished goods.
Please take into consideration that I know nothing about textile industry :-)
That is just my two cents...
Hi Waqar,
An Italian company Porini provide Add-on for roll management for fabric manufacturing. You can find more information on www.porini.it.
Kind regards,
Irena
