MKA for manufacturers

Make what you’ll sell, at what it really costs you.

BOMs, MRP, staged orders with FEFO consumption, recorded scrap and costs, a QR label per package and preventive maintenance for your equipment, on the same inventory that sells and invoices. For food, printing, plastics, chemicals and any plant that transforms inputs.

What your business lives with today

  • The plant hears about the big order when it’s already late.
  • The line stops because an input nobody ordered in time ran out.
  • The real cost of production is known at month-end, if at all.
  • A customer complains and you don’t know which inputs went into that lot.

A day in your business

From the order to the labeled package

Step 1/7

Customer order

The sales order creates a manufacturing request without re-typing.

Orders & shipments

Run MRP and decide line by line.

Three orders, one BOM and current stock: the system proposes what to make and buy, and every accepted line becomes an order or a purchase request.

FEFO consumption, recorded scrap and a QR label when the order finishes.

Lot and bin required where they matter.

Turn on tiered control: depending on the product, the system requires lot, bin or both, suggests the lot by FEFO and blocks negative stock.

Try it right here

From the hour meter to the closed preventive order.

A lower reading is rejected, the plan falls due by meter and the order runs on the technician’s phone.

FAQ

Does MRP buy or make on its own?

No. It suggests; you accept, reject or run each line, or run them all when you trust the run.

How do I know which inputs went into a lot?

The lot traceability panel shows the components and lots consumed by the order.

Does it work for bakeries and central kitchens?

Yes. The daily plan consolidates what stores request with make-to-order demand and shows each store’s stock before confirming.
