Manufacturing that plans, builds and costs on one record

PALBONSphere keeps the bill of materials, the work order, the stock and the books on one record. Planning sees what is short before the floor does, and every finished order carries its real cost.

Today

The challenge

Production plans, stock counts and costs often live in separate spreadsheets, so nobody is sure what can be promised to a customer, what is short on the floor, or what an order really cost to make.

FAQ

Questions about this solution

Can we run make-to-order and make-to-stock together?

Yes. A production plan can take sales orders and stock levels at the same time, and each work order keeps its own source.

How is the cost of a finished item worked out?

From the materials actually consumed, the time booked on job cards and the overheads of each workstation, posted to the books when the order completes.

Does it work for more than one factory?

Yes. Each plant can be a company or a warehouse group, and stock can move between them with transfers that keep the valuation.
