bamisOS Factory — Operator Manual

Contents

1. Terms staff must understand

2. Setup order before first customer use

1. List every raw material, packaging item and finished good.
2. Confirm the unit for each item before entering stock. Use smaller units where fractions are common, such as grams, ml, litres, caps, labels, bottles or cartons.
3. Enter opening stock for raw materials, packaging and finished goods.
4. Create the BOM/formula for each finished product.
5. Run one test production order with a small quantity.
6. Confirm that stock deduction, finished-goods posting, QC notes and batch costing are correct.
7. Train the production supervisor, stock officer and manager on the same workflow before live use.

3. Products and stock setup

Raw materials

Create every ingredient or material as a stock-tracked product. Use clear names: SLES 70%, Glycerine 25L, Fragrance A. Avoid vague names like “chemical” or “material”.

Packaging

Create bottles, jars, labels, caps, cartons and seals separately. Packaging is deducted during production just like raw materials.

Finished goods

Create the products the factory sells. Use size and pack detail in the name so the warehouse does not mix SKUs: Herbal Shampoo 250ml, Hair Cream 200g, Hair Oil 100ml.

4. BOM/formula setup

A BOM tells bamisOS Factory what to consume when a finished good is produced.

1. Open the Factory workspace and choose BOM/Formulas.
2. Select the finished good.
3. Add every raw material and packaging item used for the selected output.
4. Enter the quantity needed per finished unit or per configured production quantity.
5. Add wastage allowance where the process normally loses material.
6. Save and review the material requirement preview before using it in production.

5. Create a production order

1. Choose the finished product.
2. Enter the planned quantity.
3. Review the material requirement calculation.
4. Check that raw material and packaging stock are available.
5. Enter labour cost and overhead estimate if known before production.
6. Create the production order.

If materials are short, do not confirm production. Restock or adjust the planned quantity first.

6. Confirm production correctly

Confirm production only after the physical batch has been completed and counted.

1. Open the production order.
2. Enter final labour and overhead cost.
3. Enter actual finished quantity if it differs from the plan.
4. Record QC status and notes.
5. Confirm production.
6. Check the stock ledger: raw materials and packaging should reduce, finished goods should increase.

7. QC and traceability

• Record whether the batch passed, failed, was held or needs rework.
• Use QC notes for pH, viscosity, seal checks, packaging defects, weight check, expiry review or supervisor approval.
• Use consistent batch numbers so warehouse, sales and management can trace what was produced.
• If a batch fails QC, do not move it into sellable stock without management approval.

8. Batch costing and management review

bamisOS Factory calculates batch cost from material cost plus labour and overhead. Review the result before pricing or dispatch decisions.

Managers should compare unit cost with selling price before approving the next batch.

9. Daily operating routine

Before production

• Check opening raw-material and packaging stock.
• Review planned production orders.
• Confirm BOM/formula is current.

During production

• Keep one production order per batch.
• Do not combine different products in one order.
• Record unusual wastage immediately.

After production
