Turn Production Into a Controlled and Traceable Process

Production becomes difficult to control when work instructions are communicated verbally, material consumption is recorded later, and batch information is maintained across registers, Excel files and different teams.

For export manufacturers, this becomes even more important because businesses may later need to answer:

  • What product was planned for production?
  • Which raw-material lots were used?
  • Which vendors supplied those materials?
  • How much material was consumed?
  • Which processes were performed?
  • Which machine or production line was involved?
  • Who supervised the batch?
  • How much finished product was produced?
  • How much material was rejected or lost?
  • What was the production yield?
  • Which finished-goods batch was finally produced?

Shipzy captures this information as part of the production process instead of requiring teams to reconstruct it later.


Start Production With a Clear Work Order

A structured production process starts by defining what needs to be produced.

Create a Work Order with:

Finished Product

Define the finished goods that need to be produced.

Planned Quantity

Specify how much final output is planned.

Raw Materials

Identify the materials required for production.

Raw-Material Lots

Select the exact available inventory lots that can be used.

Packing Material

Define bags, boxes, cartons, labels or other packing materials required.

Production Instructions

Add process-specific or customer-specific production requirements.

The work order gives the production team clear instructions before material begins moving to the production floor.


Production With BOM or Manual Material Selection

Different manufacturing businesses follow different production models.

Shipzy supports both.

BOM-Based Production

A Bill of Materials can define the standard materials required to manufacture a finished product.

When users select the finished goods, Shipzy can use the BOM to identify:

  • required raw materials
  • packing materials
  • other required products
  • planned material quantities

The relevant available lots can then be selected for production.

Production Without BOM

Not every manufacturing process uses a fixed formulation.

When required, users can manually define the raw materials, packing materials and exact lots that will be used to create the finished product.

This provides flexibility without forcing every production process into a fixed BOM structure.


Select Exact Material Lots for Every Production Batch

Knowing that a finished product was made from "Raw Material A" is not enough for strong traceability.

Shipzy lets the production team identify the exact lots used.

For example:

Lot A + Lot B + Lot C → Finished Goods Batch X

or:

Lot A → Finished Goods Batch Y

depending on the production requirement.

This lot-level connection becomes critical when a business needs to trace a finished-goods batch back to its source material.


Start and Manage Production Batches

Once the Work Order is prepared, the production supervisor can start a batch.

As actual production happens, the supervisor can record the material taken into production.

For example:

  • 20 bags from Lot A
  • 50 bags from Lot B
  • 100 bags from Lot C

Additional material can be recorded against the batch as production continues.

This creates an actual consumption record rather than relying only on planned material quantities.


Track Production Processes

Production rarely happens in one single activity.

Different products may move through processes such as:

  • Cleaning
  • Machine Sorting
  • Hand Sorting
  • Grinding
  • Blending
  • Processing
  • Packing

or any other company-defined production process.

Shipzy can maintain these processes as part of the batch history, helping businesses understand exactly how a finished product was produced.


Supervisor-Level Production Recording

Production supervisors can record actual production activity as it happens.

This helps businesses maintain answers to questions such as:

Who supervised this batch?

When was production performed?

Which materials and lots were consumed?

Which processes were completed?

What output was produced?

When the supervisor's shift ends or the batch is completed, the production output can be recorded against the batch.


Measure Input, Output, Reject and Production Yield

At batch completion, compare actual material consumption with final output.

For example:

Input: 10 MT

Finished Goods: 9.8 MT

Reject / Loss: 0.2 MT

Shipzy can maintain:

  • total input quantity
  • finished-goods output
  • semi-finished output where applicable
  • rejected quantity
  • process loss
  • production yield

This provides management with a clearer picture of actual production performance.


Track Production Yield Batch by Batch

Yield is an important operational metric for export manufacturers.

Instead of calculating it later from multiple registers or spreadsheets, Shipzy connects the input and output data required to evaluate production yield.

Teams can compare actual performance across batches and investigate unusual differences when necessary.



Finished Goods With Batch-Level Identity

Once production is completed, the finished-goods quantity can become available inventory with its batch information connected.

This creates the foundation for:

  • finished-goods stock control
  • customer order allocation
  • dispatch planning
  • QC records
  • production investigation
  • customer complaint handling
  • backward traceability

Your team knows not only how much finished stock exists, but where it came from.


End-to-End Batch Traceability

Trace every finished-goods batch back to its production history.

When a customer raises a quality complaint or your team needs to investigate a batch, production records should already contain the answer.

Shipzy can help connect a finished-goods batch with:

Production Date.

When the batch was manufactured.

Production Supervisor.

Who supervised or recorded production.

Raw-Material Lots.

Which exact lots were consumed.

Material Vendors.

Which suppliers originally supplied those materials.

Production Processes.

Which production stages were performed.

Input Quantity.

How much material entered production.

Finished Output.

How much approved finished product was generated.

Reject / Process Loss.

How much material was rejected or lost.

Yield.

What production yield was achieved.

This creates a structured production history from finished goods back to source material.


From Customer Complaint Back to the Vendor

When a customer provides a finished-goods batch number, your team can follow the connected trail backward.

A typical traceability flow can be:

Finished Goods Batch → Production Batch → Production Processes → Raw-Material Lots → GRN → Purchase Order → Vendor

Instead of calling multiple departments or searching spreadsheets, quality and production teams can investigate using connected records.


Flexible for Different Production Processes

Every export manufacturing industry works differently.

Food, spices, agriculture, chemicals, textiles, engineering and other industries can have very different production stages.

Shipzy supports configurable production processes so businesses can define workflows relevant to their own operation instead of being forced into one fixed production method.
