NetSuite Work Orders and Assemblies

Key Features of NetSuite Work Orders and Assemblies

Work Order Management

NetSuite simplifies the creation and management of work orders. Users can track the status of work orders in real-time, manage dependencies, and make adjustments as needed to meet production demands.

Bill of Materials (BOM) Integration

Maintain and manage detailed BOMs for all products, including subassemblies. NetSuite ensures that all required components are available and correctly allocated during production.

Assembly Management

NetSuite automates the assembly process, allowing manufacturers to efficiently track raw materials, work-in-progress (WIP), and finished goods. This ensures accurate inventory levels and reduces waste.

Component and Inventory Allocation

Allocate components to work orders automatically, based on availability and demand. NetSuite provides real-time visibility into inventory levels, ensuring that materials are allocated efficiently.

Backflushing Support

Simplify inventory management with backflushing, where raw materials are automatically deducted from inventory when work orders are completed. This reduces manual inventory tracking and ensures accurate stock levels.

Production Routing

Define and manage production workflows with detailed routing steps. Assign tasks to specific workstations or resources, track progress, and identify bottlenecks to optimise efficiency.

Lot and Serial Number Tracking

Track components and finished goods by lot or serial numbers to ensure traceability and compliance with industry standards, particularly in regulated industries like pharmaceuticals or food manufacturing.

Reporting and Analytics

Access detailed reports and dashboards that provide insights into production efficiency, work order status, and inventory utilisation. These insights support better decision-making and continuous improvement.
