Introduction
In manufacturing, every second of downtime and every unit of wasted material cuts into margins. A recent study found that unplanned downtime costs manufacturers an average of $260,000 per hour. The challenge isn’t just producing goods, it’s making them efficiently, with the right materials, at the right time.
The Problem
Many manufacturers operate with disconnected systems, one tool for production, another for inventory, another for quality. These silos lead to overproduction, missed deadlines, and costly errors. Without real-time visibility, managers often rely on guesswork, leading to excess raw materials sitting idle while urgent orders face shortages.
Our Approach / Solution
At Avalon Enterprise Technologies (AET), we implement Odoo’s Manufacturing solution to unify operations. With real-time scheduling, bill of materials tracking, quality checks, and integration into inventory and sales, manufacturers gain a clear view of their production pipeline. Instead of relying on reactive adjustments, teams can plan, optimize resources, and cut waste before it happens.
Use Case Example
Imagine a mid-sized furniture manufacturer struggling with late deliveries because its inventory system never synced with production schedules. With Odoo in place, production orders now automatically reserve the right materials, reorder points ensure raw supplies never run out, and managers see in real time which work orders are at risk of delay. As a result, on-time delivery rates improved by 22% within three months, and material waste dropped significantly.
