Production Planning for Jewelry
In jewelry, gram-karat precision, precious-metal/stone tracking and labor cost require functions to track value and loss down to the smallest unit. Manage production operations in one system, from bill of materials and routing to capacity planning, work orders and shop-floor tracking. The module works integrated with sales, purchasing and inventory.
Jewelry context
Why Production Planning works differently in Jewelry
In Jewelry, jewelry production center on sector-specific concepts such as gram-karat-based stock, precious metal and stone, model/collection. In jewelry, gram-karat precision, precious-metal/stone tracking and labor cost require functions to track value and loss down to the smallest unit.
Qera ERP's Production Planning module is set up around how the jewelry sector works: Schedules model and collection-based production with labor and scrap allowance.
- When gold/silver isn't tracked by weight and karat, stock value and cost can't be calculated clearly.
- When precious stones (diamonds, etc.) aren't tracked by their unique attributes, inventory and cost control become hard.
- When labor, loss/scrap and metal price swings can't be reflected in cost, profitability stays invisible.
Capabilities
How Qera Production Planning works in Jewelry
The core capabilities of the Production Planning module, described for the gram, karat and model/collection needs of the jewelry sector.
Bill of materials and routing definitions
Define raw material bills of materials (BOM) and operation routings for each product; manage recycling and scrap with teardown BOMs as well.
Capacity and scheduling
Create new plans, planned production runs and a production schedule that takes machine and labor capacity into account.
Pending planning
List approved but unplanned work orders and orders; distribute the workload effectively by seeing priority jobs.
Work orders
Define each production job as a work order containing materials, routing and planned dates, so the shop-floor team can see what to produce and when.
Station and shift management
Monitor station states (idle, busy, faulty) in real time; manage operation start-end times and shift plans.
Production reports and analysis
Measure efficiency with production process, standard-vs-actual time, operation and work-order reports; see product profitability by combining with financial data.
Outcomes
What it delivers for your Jewelry business
What you see in jewelry operations once it is set up properly.
- BOMs and routings are defined to a standard, so cost calculations are consistent.
- Scheduling follows machine and labor capacity, which reduces unplanned stoppages and bottlenecks.
- The status of work orders and stations is visible in real time.
- Planned and actual times are compared, which shows where efficiency is lost.
