Bill of materials and inventory management coordinates production schedules with available stock by manually looking up component requirements, checking inventory levels, and creating purchase orders.
Automation reads production schedules, retrieves BOMs and real-time inventory data, calculates required quantities, identifies shortages, and prepares purchase orders for approval. The result is faster shortage detection, fewer stockouts, and reduced manual data entry across the supply chain.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A new production schedule is uploaded to the shared folder or sent via email. The automation detects the trigger and begins processing.
The automation reads the schedule file and extracts product codes, quantities, and required dates into a structured format.
The automation looks up each product code in the master BOM spreadsheet and retrieves the component list and quantities.
The automation connects and retrieves real-time on-hand quantities for each component in the BOMs.
The automation calculates required quantities, identifies shortages, and generates a purchase order list with supplier and lead-time data.
The automation updates to allocate stock to the production run and flag components that are on order.
The automation sends a summary message to the operations channel with the BOM status, shortages, and next steps for the production team.
