Production Dashboard Visualization

The Challenge

Spreadsheet Manufacturing Doesn't Scale

BOMs managed in spreadsheets. Production schedules in whiteboards. Material availability unknown until shortage. True costs calculated after the fact, if at all.

  • No real-time visibility into work-in-progress
  • Material shortages discovered during production
  • True product costs unknown or estimated
  • Capacity planning based on guesswork

The Real Cost

Manufacturing without integrated systems means constant firefighting. Rush orders, expedited shipping, overtime - all because you couldn't see problems coming. cifraHQ changes that.

Complete Manufacturing Control

Plan, execute, track, and cost your production in one integrated system

Bill of Materials

Multi-level BOMs with material and labor routing. Manage revisions, substitutions, and engineering changes with full history.

Work Order Management

Create and track work orders through your production process. Real-time status, material consumption, and labor tracking.

WIP Tracking

Know exactly what's in production, where it is, and when it will be done. Real-time visibility into work-in-progress value.

Shop Floor Control

Workers report time and materials at the operation level. Barcode scanning for fast, accurate data capture.

Manufacturing FAQ

Yes, cifraHQ supports unlimited BOM levels with sub-assemblies, components, labor, and overhead. You can define alternate materials, manage BOM versions, and track engineering changes with full revision history.

WIP is tracked in real-time as production progresses. When materials are issued to a work order, they move to WIP. As operations complete, costs accumulate. When finished goods are received, WIP is relieved and inventory updated automatically.

Yes, work orders can be generated directly from sales orders for make-to-order production. Customer delivery dates flow to the shop floor, and order status is visible throughout the production process.

Yes, cifraHQ includes Material Requirements Planning (MRP) that analyzes demand, existing inventory, and lead times to suggest what to purchase and when. This helps prevent stockouts and reduces excess inventory.
