Discrete and assembly manufacturing
Organize bills of materials, work centers and work orders around components, assemblies and finished products.
Manufacturing
See what production needs—and what it really costs
Connect production planning with material availability, shop-floor execution and finance. TDS configures manufacturing workflows around the way you produce, whether you assemble discrete products or work with recipes and formulations.
Two production models, one connected business
Process and formulation-based manufacturing
Manage recipes and percentage-based bills of materials, production batches and material consumption. Formulation rules and costing methods are validated against your process.
Resolve the gaps between plan, stock and cost
Missing materials interrupt production. Unrecorded consumption distorts stock. Delayed costing hides the reason a product misses its margin. Connecting these records gives teams a clearer basis for planning and review.
Core manufacturing capabilities
Plan and prepare
Align production requirements with bills of materials, purchasing and stock. Configure planning rules around demand and material availability.
Execute and trace
Manage work orders, work centers and inventory movements. Track batches or serial numbers where required by the product and agreed scope.
Check quality and cost
Record quality checks and review material and operational costs alongside production results. Connect production information with accounting and management reports.
A representative workflow
A sales requirement or forecast informs the production plan. Material requirements guide purchasing and stock allocation. Teams execute work orders, record consumption and output, then review quality, finished-goods availability and production cost.
- Demand & materials
- Production orders
- Output & quality
- Stock & costing
One operational picture across the factory
Sales sees availability; planning sees requirements; purchasing sees shortages; production records execution; finance reviews cost. The aim is fewer manual transfers of data and clearer explanations of production variances.
Relevant TDS capability
TDS publishes a manufacturing module for chemical industries and assembly, including percentage-based recipes, work orders, traceability and cost reporting. Explore the published Cladex case study and the manufacturing module for further context.
Validate with your own product
We map a representative bill of materials or formulation, confirm units of measure and costing assumptions, test the production-to-finance workflow, and prepare users and opening data. Complex by-products, finite-capacity scheduling, subcontract production and specialist equipment integrations are assessed separately.
