Prerequisites
  • Work Orders have been created and relevant statuses (e.g., In Process, Completed) are up to date under Manufacturing > Work Order > Work Order List.
  • Workstations and operation times are configured under Manufacturing > Workstation > Workstation List.
  • BOM cost estimates and actual consumption data are recorded via Stock Entries and Work Order operation logs.
  • Finished goods receipts and shipment data are complete so that throughput and on-time delivery can be calculated.

Steps to Generate Production Reports

Step 1: Navigate to the Reports Menu
  1. From the main menu, click Manufacturing > Reports.
  2. A list of production-related reports appears. Common options include:
    • Work Order Status Report
    • Capacity Utilization Report
    • Production Cost Variance Report
    • Production Throughput Report
    • On-Time Delivery Report
  3. Click the report you wish to run.
Step 2: Run the Work Order Status Report
  1. Click Work Order Status Report.
  2. In the filter panel, configure:
    • Company: select your entity.
    • From Date / To Date: specify the date range for which you want to see WO status breakdown.
    • Workstation (optional): filter by a specific machine or leave blank for all.
  3. Click Refresh.
  4. The report displays:
    • Total Work Orders in each status (e.g., 15 Draft, 23 In Process, 40 Completed).
    • A bar chart or pie chart (if enabled) visually breaking down status counts.
  5. Export results by clicking Download > CSV or Print for presentations or team meetings.
This report helps you see where bottlenecks occur—e.g., many WOs stuck in “In Process” may signal capacity constraints.
Step 3: Run the Capacity Utilization Report
  1. Click Capacity Utilization Report.
  2. Set filters:
    • Workstation: choose one or several machines or leave blank for all.
    • From Date / To Date: define the period to analyze (e.g., last week, month).
  3. Click Refresh.
  4. The report shows:
    • Available Hours: total planned hours for each workstation (e.g., 160 hours for Oven A in a month).
    • Utilized Hours: sum of operation times logged against those workstations.
    • Utilization %: (Utilized ÷ Available) × 100.
  5. Review which workstations are underutilized (e.g., < 50%) or overutilized (e.g., > 90%).
  6. Export or print for capacity planning.
Step 4: Run the Production Cost Variance Report
  1. Click Production Cost Variance Report.
  2. Configure filters:
    • Work Order (specific WO) or leave blank to aggregate multiple WOs.
    • From Date / To Date: e.g., last quarter.
    • Production Item (optional): to narrow to a product family.
  3. Click Refresh.
  4. The report displays side-by-side:
    • Estimated Cost from the BOM (raw material, operation, overhead).
    • Actual Cost pulled from material issues and operation logs.
    • Variance (Actual − Estimated) in absolute (e.g., 5,000 NGN) and percentage terms (e.g., 8%).
  5. Drill into each row to see itemized details: which material or operation caused the variance.
  6. Export or print to share with finance and continuous improvement teams.
Use this report monthly to track trending cost overruns and refine BOM estimates accordingly.
Step 5: Run the Production Throughput Report
  1. Click Production Throughput Report.
  2. Set filters:
    • From Date / To Date: period in which you want throughput data (e.g., past 30 days).
    • Production Item (optional): a specific product or category.
  3. Click Refresh.
  4. The report shows:
    • Total Units Produced: sum of completed WO quantities in the period.
    • Total Scrap Units: sum of scrap recorded during production runs.
    • Yield %: (Produced ÷ (Produced + Scrap)) × 100.
    • Average Throughput per Day: total produced ÷ working days in the period.
  5. Identify trends: increasing scrap rates, declining throughput, or seasonal spikes.
  6. Export or print for production reviews.
Step 6: Run the On-Time Delivery Report
  1. Click On-Time Delivery Report.
  2. Configure filters:
    • From Date / To Date: timeframe for deliveries (e.g., last month).
    • Customer (optional): to focus on a particular account.
    • Work Order or Delivery Note status (e.g., Completed).
  3. Click Refresh.
  4. The report displays:
    • Total Shipments scheduled in the period.
    • On-Time Count: number delivered on or before the planned due date.
    • Late Count: number delivered after the due date.
    • On-Time %: (On-Time ÷ Total) × 100.
  5. Use this metric to gauge customer satisfaction and logistics performance.
  6. Export or print to share with sales, customer service, and management.
