Rutba Suite · Manufacturing & MRP software

Rutba Manufacturing Available

Versioned bills of materials with work centres on every routing step, a regenerative MRP run that nets against real inventory and pegs plan to demand, and a shop-floor terminal that reports work in progress from the bench where it happens.

Requires Rutba Inventory, and reads the same records rather than keeping a second copy of them.

From the bill of materials to the bench that builds it

Why Rutba Manufacturing

Production planning goes wrong when the plan, the stockroom and the floor are three different systems. Rutba Manufacturing runs one: an MRP run that reads today's stock and open orders, plans against pinned bill versions, produces buy and make orders you can firm in place, and hands the dispatch list to a tablet on the bench that reports output as it happens, offline if it has to.

Small and mid-sized manufacturers whose plan and floor keep disagreeing

Assembly, kitting and job-shop operations tired of MRP that runs monthly

Producers who need bill versions frozen at release so the floor works to the right recipe

Anyone who ran a spreadsheet next to their ERP because the spreadsheet was easier

What's inside

The apps Rutba Manufacturing unlocks

One listing, 5 applications, all on the same customer record, catalog and books as the rest of the family.

Manufacturing

Work orders and the job cards under them, bundles, the materials issued against them, and the people paid by the piece for them. Bills of material carry versions, effectivity and the release that pins what the floor will build.

Planning

Demand and forecasts, the master schedule per branch, the time-phased MRP run, planned orders with pegging, firming, exceptions and the production timeline.

Shop Floor

The operator terminal on a shared device: clock on by PIN, take the dispatch list for the bench, start and stop an operation, report output and downtime, offline if it has to be. There is also an andon board the floor reads from across the room.

Quality

Inspection plans and the inspection queue, holds, non-conformances, corrective actions, supplier quality and certificates.

Maintenance

Machines on the asset register, meters, preventive schedules, and requests and orders with parts and labour.

A machine is an asset, so Maintenance and Rutba Facilities are two views of one work engine rather than two registers of the same things.

Where Rutba Manufacturing actually stands. All five apps are built: engineering data, work centres and calendars, the MRP run with pegging, firming and the timeline, the finite schedule and multi-plant view, the shop-floor terminal with downtime, the andon board and OEE, inspections and corrective actions, and maintenance on the asset register. Machine connections are not: output and downtime are reported from the terminal, not read from the machine. The cost rolls up onto the finished units; posting work in progress to the ledger is not built.
Capabilities

What you can do with it

  • Versioned bills of materials with effectivity, where-used and a change record
  • Work centres with capacity, calendars, and a labour basis for costing
  • A regenerative MRP run: nets on-hand and reserved, respects lead times, plans by lot policy
  • Planned buy and make orders with pegging back to the demand that caused them
  • Firming that survives the next run (supply, not plan)
  • A work-order timeline and an exception list, so a planner has a picture and something to act on
  • A shop-floor terminal with device pairing and an offline queue
  • Stops reported with a reason code, driving an andon board the floor can read
  • The floor works to the pinned bill version, so the bench and the plan cannot disagree
  • Standard cost per version, computed from the bill, the routing and the work-centre rates
  • Batch and lot traceability both ways, with recall
  • A finite schedule with a freeze fence, and every plant side by side
  • OEE per work centre, with throughput, on-time delivery and cost per unit
  • Inspections, holds, non-conformances and corrective actions, with a gate that stops completion on a failed check
  • A breakdown reported on the floor becomes a maintenance request
