Introduction to ITM Manufacturing

ITM Manufacturing is an integral part of the ITM software. The manufacturing module works intight integration with other modules of ITM as single system. Modules, which help ITM

manufacturing for its completeness, are ITM Inventory, ITM Materials and ITM Finance. Based

on the required business process, all the above can be configured to work with their full

functionality.

What is ITM MANUFACTURING?

ITM Manufacturing provides you with a tool for your daily manufacturing activities. It helps youto achieve control over various activities carried out for planning the production, starting the

batch, issuing the material to production, receiving finished goods from production.

ITM Manufacturing and the organizationThe enterprise is divided into various sites. The plant or factory is defined in ITM as a site,

where manufacturing activities are to be carried out. The site is further sub divided into

departments or functions that carry out a defined role and has some responsibility. In the

manufacturing process various departments like production, quality control, inventory controlcan perform their role in the respective option in the system. The system co-ordinates and

provides information to each other in the entire process of managing the business.

Quality Control function is an integral part of the ITM Manufacturing module.

The FunctionalityITM deals with the procedure followed by the company covering all the area of manufacturing

operations. A set of areas are grouped under a technically manageable sub-module, In ITM

manufacturing there are following sub-modules

Shop floor control

Quality Control

Each of the above sub-modules automats a set of activities as follows.

Shop floor controlDefining Bill of Material

Starting ManufacturingIssuing material to manufacturing

Returning materials from manufacturing

Receiving finished product from manufacturing

Quality ControlAnalyzing the finished goods

Analyzing the parched materials

Other related functions automated by other modules are:

Taking a purchase receiptITM MaterialsReturning a purchased material to supplierITM Materials

Planning for Manufacturing, Capacity, Material RequirementITM Planning

Each of these areas consists of various transactions, which are integrated with each other across

all the modules of ITM. There are pre-defined business processes in ITM, which help you inperforming your business activities and manage data flow among transactions.

Apart from the above-defined operations there are some other activities which are required for

manufacturing to be done at enterprise level are as follows:

Defining business rules

Defining items for finished goodsDefining items for various kinds of materials

Manufacturing BasicsA typical manufacturing process, which ITM manufacturing automates, can be defined briefly as

follows:

Before beginning with the day to day activities of manufacturing, the master definitions in he

system are required to enables the system for the activities. All the products that aremanufactured need their definition in the item master. Also, the materials required to make the

products again need to be defined in the item master. The bill of material for each finishedproduct is required to issue materials to production.

A plan is prepared in the beginning of the month, specifying what is to be manufactured in thenext one month in terms of product, quantity and the date by which it is to be manufactured.

Based on the plan, work order is created to specify the different batches that need to be taken.

The work order, which is created for planning should be firm planned. When the work order isfirm planned, ITM manufacturing treats that the order is decided to be executed. When you firm

plan a work order, the route in which manufacturing is to be done is created & the material

required get calculated. It also allocates the stock to the work order, so that there is no stock out

while making the finished goods. Machines required for manufacturing are reserved to avoidover booking of machines.

When the actual manufacturing starts for a batch, the finished goods batch number must beassigned to the work order and it should be released.

The manufacturing is done with multiple operations and for each operation materials needs to beissued. The materials are issued from stores based on a request raised by the production

department. Sometimes additional materials need to be issued to production, which is over and

the requirements defined in the bill of materials. Such issue of material are called deviation

issue. Stores do deviation issue only after special authorization from the designated person.

The completion of each process is tracked in the system and detailed feedback is captured about

the various parameters and time taken for manufacturing. Also the resources utilized like man-power. Machine can be specified in work order feedback for each operation.

After completion of all the operation the finished goods are received which are kept under

quarantine. After the testing of the finished goods by quality control, if it passes it is transferredto finished goods stored. From finished goods stores, depending on the business needs, the

material is sold or transferred to each other sites.

When the material are received by way of purchase receipt from supplier, it is kept underquarantine. For each of the batches of supplier intimation is given to Quality testing department

to draw sample for analysis. QC draws a sample and carries out testing as per the specification of

item. After the testing, if it is approved, it is transferred to usable raw material stores, from wherethe materials can be issued to production. At the time of QC approval the potency assignment is

done to the items, which requires the potency matching. Potency is a number, which defines the

usability or strength of the quality. A less potency does not mean impure, a lower potency of anitem can be compensated with quality. Potency of each of the raw materials purchased are

assigned when quality control approval is done, the same item may have a different potency for

different lot number (AR number). Quantity is to be matched while issuing or allocating stock to

work orders based on potency.

Materials, (which are issued excess to production), if not used, are returned to stores. When the

material is returned to stores, it again goes to quarantine, similar to the purchase receipt. At thetime of return from production intimation is sent to QC to draw the sample. On approval of

quality control it is transferred to useable stores.

Some of the finished products give by-products or recovery. Such items like any other finished

products are received from production. By-products are also analyzed by QC and after approval

can be used.

Bill of Material

What is Bill of Material?

Bill of Material is a list of materials which are required to produce a finished good. Each bill of

material is defined by a unique code which is for a product.

Every time a new product needs to be manufactured, the bill of material required for the new

product should be defined in the bill of material master. In the system once the bill is improved,the bill of material for a product may undergo a change, on quality control approval. In such

cases a new bill of material to be created with a new code and the product should be assigned the

new bill of material code.

The latest bill of material is used by the system while issuing goods to production. For the sameproduct there may be different bill of materials co-existing for re-work of different types. The

bill of material to be used for re-work can be specified at the time of creation of work order.

How to define the bill of material


8/27


9/27

Assign a new bill of material code; create a new entry in bill of material master. Define all the

items, which are required for the finished goods for which you are creating the bill of material.The bill of material can be used in work order only after it is confirmed.

BOM CodeBOM Code is a unique code to identify the bill of materials.

TypeIngredient should be selected to define the bill of material for shop floor control purpose. The

other options are used in other modules of ITM, which is not relevant in this context.

DescriptionDescription of the bill of material. Normally it should contain the description of the product for

which bill of material is bring defined, with the purpose like re-work, fresh or any such specific

information.

Item CodeItem code in the main screen is the code of product for which the bill of material is being

defined.

Batch Qty


10/27

The batch size defined in the bill of material, is the standard batch size of the product for which

bill of material is defined. While taking actual production if the batch size is increased,automatically, the requirements of the materials change as per defined rule. Similarly if the batch

size reduces automatically, the material required reduces as per rule for the work order. The

batch size defined in the bill of material goes by default in work order. It can be changed only

with required authority.

Batch Option

Not applicable should be left blank.

Item Code

Item code is the of the material, which is required in manufacturing of above defined finishedgoods. You can specify another bill of material in item code. Such bill of material are called sub-

bill of material and while exploding ITM includes all the items defined in sub-bill of material as

a part of main bill of material.

Item referenceIf the same item is required in same bill of material in multiple instances different item reference

can be specified to differentiate and allow the same item to re-appear.

Quantity per

Required quantity for the batch size.

Effective fromEffective from is the starting date from which this item is to be considered a part of material.

Valid uptoValid upto is the end date till which this item is a part of bill of material. The effective period can

be used to use an item in a experimental basis, which is not a very critical component of

manufacturing.

Type

The way the quantity per will change in relation to the batch size should be defined in this.Different possible values are

Proportionate: The quantity should change proportionately with the batch size

Fixed: Required quantity does not change even if the batch size increases or decreasesSlab: When the item is defined with the slab option, the quantity gets multiplied, only when the

batch size is multiplied.

OptionThe operation number of the manufacturing, in which this item is used. This is very critical for

issue of material. While issuing material all the materials of one operation are issued together.

Lend timeAfter how many days of starting manufacturing this material is required. The lead time is used

for planning for material.


11/27

UnitUnit measure in which the quantity is to be issued (Display only information)

Min Qty

Minimum Quantity, when the quantity as per the calculation, comes below the minimumquantity, the minimum quantity is taken as the requirement.

Critical ItemThe possible values are Yes or No, whether it is critical item or not. When a critical item in not

available in stock at the time of firm plan, system does not allow to make the work order firm

plan. The critical items are defined, to control the loss in production due to stock out Forexample if some material is required in a production process in the second or third operation of

production. And it not available at that time, and the production had already completed the first

two operation. If the material is such that, if it is not available then work in progress material of

first two operation will go waste, then, such type of materials should be classified as critical item

and production should be classified as critical item and production should be started when thematerial is available.

Auto OrderNot used in this version of ITM

Match PotencyIt should be defined whether potency matching of the item should be done or not if the stock is

found with less potency, system automatically allocates and issues more quantity of material to

match the requirement For example 20 KG of a raw material (say ABC) is required tomanufacture a batch of 100 KG for a finished goods (say XYZ). In this the standard potency of

material ABC is 100. When the stock is found with a lot of ABC with 80 potency. TO match the

requirement of 100 potency, instead of 10 KG, 2.44 KG extra will be issued to match the potency

of 100.

Adjust Potency

When in one item, to match the potency, extra quantity of material is issued, it may be requiredto reduce (adjust) the quantity in another filler type of item. The quantity can be adjusted in

multiple items proportionately. In above example ( in match potency column) the extra quantity

of 2.44KG should be possible to be adjusted in two other raw materials like water and solventPQR. If 15 KG water and 5 KG of solvent PQR 4.39 (5-61). System allows adjusting the excess

quantity of multiple items in requirement of multiple items.

Adjust potency is a starting data which is defined against the item which requires a potencymatching. The same string should also be defined in all those items where the excess quantity

issue to be adjusted. In the items where potency to be adjusted, the match potency should be

defined as No

The standard potency (100 in above example) can be defined in item master for the raw material.


12/27

Round

If the final quantity required for the work order needs to be rounded the rounding method can bedefined. The round option defines how it is to be rounded.

Not Round : Not to be rounded

Next : Rounding to be done to next number. The number should be defined inRound to

Previous : Rounding to be done to previous number

Next : Rounding to be done to nearest number defined in round to.

Round to

The number to which rounding to be done.

For example, if the round to is defined as defined as 0.01, and round is next, 15.093 will berounded to 15.10. If the rounding is defined as previous the same quantity will be rounded to

15.99 and it is defined as near it will get rounded to 16.00. When the round to is defined as 0.50

the same number with Previous will get rounded to 15.50.

Use invUse inventory option defines the inventory to be used. When there is re-work done the main

material, which is to be issued to production is a normally a rejected material.

By rule an item, which is rejected by quality control can be issued to production. This flag can be

used to handle such cases. IF it is defined as Non usable and usable a rejected material can beissued to production. While defining this information you must be extremely careful to avoid

dangerous mistakes.

Usage typeThe way issue of material to be done, can be Regular or On Demand. There are items, which

are defined in batch manufacturing record as requirement in slab. In bill of material the

requirement in slab. In bill of material the requirement quantity should be defined in two parts.

The minimum quantity of the slab should be defined as Regular requirement, which should beissued automatically when material is asked for the operation. The remaining part of the items

where the requirement is conditional should be requirement changes to case.

Alloc Type

Allocation type defines how the stock to be allocated to the work order when making the workorder Firm Plan. There can be three possible in this column.

Allocate Original Item Stock

Do not AllocateAllocate Any Stock

When you select Allocate Original Item Stock system allocated only when the stock is foundfor the item which is defined in BOM itself. In other words, while making a work order firm

plan, if stock is not found in the main item of the BOM and it finds an alternate item in the

alternate BOM definition, the stock in such case will not get it will do the allocation. This option


13/27

can be selected in a situation where you are expecting some item to reach before the day it is

actually required in the manufacturing and even if alternate items are available you do not wishto use alternate.

Do not Allocate if selected will not allocate the stockto the work order even if it finds the

stock.

Allocate Any Stock option is to specify that in case the main item stock is not there and

alternate item is picked up, allocation should be done.

Consider Partial (Yes/No)

This parameter of bill of material specifies whether material allocation to be done while makingthe order firm plan when found partial. For example you are using 500Kgs of an item A in a

finished goods. If item A is not available you can also use B or C or D. If only 200Kgs of A is

available, how should the system allocate the balance requirement between B & C. If this flag is

set to yes it will take 200 of A and 300 of B. If No it will skip the 200 quantity of A and skip to

B and look for the full requirement in B. See alternate bill of material for more details.

Location usage typeLocation usage type is used to indicate which location of storage to be taken into consideration

while allocating the stock. Take for example, there is an item, which a user buy locally and

import. For a specific product he would like to use the imported. What can be done is store the

imported goods in a specific location called Imported, enter location type as Always fromdefined location, enter the location code in the work order. System will automatically pick up

the stock from imported location.

The values for this parameter could be.

Always from defined location

This will allocate stock to this item only from the location which, is entered in the work order.

Even if there is stock in order location system will not use that. If stock is not available indefined location it will treat as if stock is not found.

Not ApplicableDo not use this definition

Preference from defined locationThis parameter will prefer to use from the defined location, if stock is not available in defined

location, system will take the stock from other location.

Consider Issue Lot noIf a specific batch item to be issued, this can be set to Yes. For example, I want to make a

finished good from two different semi-finished goods and want to use specific batch number of

semi-finished item. For the semi-finished item code this flag can be set to Yes, in work order thebatch from which the semi-finished items to be picked up should be entered. This can be relevant

for packing batches also. When I am taking a packing batch the main item should be issued only


14/27

from the batch which I am packing, so that in packed goods also same batch number is

maintained.

Dimension

The item to be issued if needs to have a minimum physical dimension, this can be entered in

Dimension. For example, I would like a packing material with 2 ft width material. Thedimension of B can be specified as 4, so that if item with less than 4 ft width is found in stock

will not be used for B.

Confirmation of bill of material and linking it to the productOnce the bill of material is prepared, before it can used it must be confirmed in the system by

quality control. To confirm the bill of material select the bill of material which needs to beconfirmed and click on confirm button.

After the bill of material is confirmed, the bill of material code should be defines in site item

master to link the product to the bill of material. Once it is linked, every time a work order is

created for the product then the assigned bill of material comes by default

Alternate Bill of Material

Alternate bill of material is the definition to specify items that can be used when an item from thebill of material is not available. For each of the item bill of material alternates can be defined. In

a situation where if one item is not available, multiple alternate items possibility is there, then, it

can be defined. Multiple items can be entered with different sequence to defined multiplealternate.


15/27


16/27


17/27

If the item for which alternate is being defined and it has a flag to allocate stock the alternateitem will be selected at the time of firm plan of the order, otherwise it will be decided at the time

of making the issue.

Item CodeItem code is the code of item (material of BOM) for which alternate is being defined. In one bill

of material there can be multiple items, for each items multiple alternate items can be defined.

The item being entered must be existing in the selected bill of material

Item Reference

In bill of material if the same item is used multiple times, for each occurrence of the item,different alternates can be defined. For example an item A is used in operation 1 and again the

same item is used in operation 3. Alternate at operation 1 can be different from alternate at

operation 3. This can happen as the role of the same item at different stages of manufacturingmay be different. For example an item is used for reaction in operation 1. If an item is to beissued, just before charging to production, it can be defined as on-demand issue. This is generally

applicable for item, which requires special storage or handling.

Items whose quantity requirement is in range


18/27

Items, which are required in range, like 10 to 20 KG, in the example 10 is fixed requirement and

2 may be required, may not be required. Additional 2 can be issued if required. In this case 10quantities can be defined as Regular and 2 as On demand,

Deviation issue

When the material required is more than what is defined in bill of material, the issue can be donewith deviation issue. This kind of issue may be required to handle various un- expected business

compulsions. General reasons why this may happen is

i. Loss of stock after issue is done and before charging to productionii. Adding extra material to observe an experiment at the time of scale upiii. Correct a technical mistake in production and so on

For whatever reason deviation issue is done it should be entered in the deviation issue

transaction. Item and quantity required should be specified for deviation issue. The lot number is

allocated by the system. In deviation issue system does not use stock which is already allocated

to a work order. As per the same logic of allocation as defined earlier in this document, system

allocates the lot number (AR Number).

Confirmation Work Order IssueFor any of the mode once issue document is stored user will get to view the issue documents

which are created. After checking for the issue document, a pick list from the system to be

printed which are created. After checking for the issue document, a pick list from the system tobe printed which contains the list of materials with lot number (AR number) that needs to be

picked up for dispensing in. After the goods are picked up, the order issue document needs to be

confirmed in the system, and issue slip with material issue document should be printed.


19/27


20/27

On confirmation of the issue transaction, the system should expect a bar code scanning on the

bar code printed on the coupon of physical material. The coupons should be printed at the time ofquality control approval of the item. If the scanning is not done on any of the lot number of any

of the items, which is issued in the document, system will not allow confirming the issue.

The stock get reduced from inventory at the time of confirmation of issue of all the material,

which are there in the work order issue document.

Allocating/ De-allocating of material to a lot

Allocating is done by inventory reserve option


21/27

De-allocation is done by production menu (manufacturing)


22/27

Production feedback

For each operation production feedback can capture resource utilized in the operation. Also afeedback can be entered to track that it is completed and moved to the next. This information is

used to project the expected date of completion of the work order. For example to complete themanufacturing if it is expected to take 10 days, the initial due date is calculated by adding 10days to the release date of the work order. If the first operation is completed by consuming 1

extra day then the due date gets re-calculated by adding 1 day to it.

When a feedback is entered, if there is QC required is defined in the process, system creates aQC order automatically.

The resource utilized can be captured in items of following.

Time: From date time to date time taken for completing the operation. The deference between

the standard time and actual time taken is reflected as deviation.

Manpower: Manpower can be specified by number of man hours utilized or it can be specifiedby the employee code.

Work center: The work center actually used can be specified in production feedback. The actualmachine utilization is updated for the work center.

Route Alteration


23/27

Route alteration provides flexibility to change the machine set up ( previously allocated) in a pre

defined route of production in case the defined machine is faulty.Which all machines can be replaced by which other machines, that can be defined in alter

machines master. Sometimes the route alteration is done to balance the workload across the work

centers.

In the work order route master for the operation the work center code can be changed to give this

effect. The new work center load is increased by adding the operation to it.

Return of materials to stores

Raw materials which are issued for a particular work order but not used or materials which isissued extra can be returned to stores by entering the return details in work order issue/return.

System captures the return information and generates a QC order, so that it does not get mixes

with usable materials before it is approved by Quality Control. The returned item goes toquarantine location and transferred to approve location only after the material is approved byQuality Control. If the material is rejected by Quality Control, it is moved to rejected location. In

one work order return document the system allows to include multiple items which were issued

in one operation.On selection of operation, system all the issues those were done in that operation, and allows

selecting the item, which is to be returned. The system allows return of such material which

was issued with specific item code, lot number and lot serial. Additionally the system checks the


24/27

issued quantity with the returned quantity. The return can be done in the same option, for which

the actual issue may have been done from deviation, automatic or on-demand.

In case, when excess issue is done, to much the article size, it may be returned after completion

of the operation. There may be multiple returns for the same material and for one issue.

Receipt of finished goods from production

Once all the production stages are over and finished goods are ready, work receipt entry should

be done in the system. Work order receipt can be done only after all the operations are over.System captures all the information about the receipt and closes the

Work order. Once work order is closed, no more transactions can be carried out against the work

order. For one work order the receipt can be done in multiple stages. For each time the receipt is

done a receipt entry should be done in the system. System automatically closes the work order

once the full batch quantity is received.

System should calculate the expiry date of the items based on the shelf life of the item and expiry

date basis. The expiry date basis is defined in the item master of the finished goods, whichdefines on what basis expiry date is to be calculated i.e.

1. Start manufacturing2. End manufacturing


25/27

The system adds shelf life to the specified date and calculates the expiry date. The shelf life can

be defined in the item master in term of number of months for each finished goods.

The system creates a QC order as soon as the production receipt is confirmed. Also the stock of

finished goods in quarantine location is updated. On approval of QC the stock moves from

quarantine to usable location. Once work order receipt is confirmed, it cannot be changed.

Receipt of by-product and recoveries

Once one operation of production is over, if there is any recovery, recovery receipt entry shouldbe done in the system. System captures all the information about the receipt using the same entry

screen of receipt. The type of receipt in this case should be selected as By-product, When a by-

product or recovery entry is done system allows selecting the product code which is beingrecovered. Also a master specifying which item can be taken as recovery from which product is

defined. System allows selecting products from defined master.

The received stock from recovery is tracked is tracked with a lot number. The lot number of the

recovery receipt item can be specified in work order receipt. The recovery item stock is updatedon confirmation of the recovery receipt entry exactly the way a finished goods stock is received.

A QC order gets generated to test recovery item. On approval the item moves from quarantine tousable stock.

On Line RejectionITM Manufacturing provides tracking of rejection that takes place during manufacturing process.

The quantity of rejection of various items taken place can be tracked operation wise and reason

wise.

Quality Control

Quality Control OrderQuality Control is a transaction, which is generated in the system to carry out some testing

activity with some items. The test can be done for a raw material, packing material, intermediate

product or finished goods.

The QC Order gets generated in ITM from following sources automatically

On confirmation of receipt of an item when QC approval is required for that itemOn confirmation of a finished goods or by-products

On confirmation of a work order return- goods returned from production

When a material requires re-testing to be done.


26/27

Also apart from all above if there is a requirement to test some item, where none of the above

transaction has taken place. A QC order can be entered in the system manually.

When QC Order is generated following key information are created by default Quantity.The QC Order quantity. The full lot quantity of material which is being tested is shown asquantity. From the full quantity a representative sample is drawn to decide the quality of the full

lot. If in a purchase receipt 500 drums are received which amounts to 5000 KGS the QC order

will be created for 5000 KGS. From this a sample of 50 grams may be drawn, which represent

the full 5000 KGS

Item Code

Item code, which is to be tested.

Location

This is the original analytical report number which was assigned to the lot when it was inspectedfor the first time. In case of finished goods this is the batch number.

Qty Sample

Quantity of sample that is to be drawn for testing, this is an item master information.

Before the QC order is confirmed following information must be entered in the system


27/27

Qty Passed

The quantity which is to be approved

Qty Rejected

Quantity rejected, this can be the full quantity or partial

Aprv location

The location to which the item should be stored when there is approval

Rej locationThe location where item to be stored when there is an rejection.

Whatever item is defined in QC order, basically when the QC Order is confirmed the order

quantity gets approved or partially approved. In ITM the usability of stock the stock is linked

with a location code. Location code can be a physical location ( part of the warehouse) where the

goods are stored or can be a logical with different properties. If it is physical location there

should a separate area for quarantine and approved. There can be multiple quarantine andmultiple approved locations. When physical area for quarantine and approved are not different,

for system use at least one quarantine, one approved and one rejected location should be created.On approval of QC Order the Quantity Passed goes to approved location, quantity rejected goes

to quarantine location and sample quantity gets consumed.

In the QC order for raw material inward inspection, if the material is fully or partly approved the

re-test date must be entered, which defines the date on which the approved material needs to be

re-tested before used.

The item in which potency matching is done, potency must be entered after testing. The potency

is updated in inventory from here and used at the time of creation of work order issue.

While issuing the material, the quantity should be matched to the potency adjustable quantity.
