Routing

Routing keeps track of the production operations or stages to be followed to produce the finished product. It also helps the end user to record the time spend on each manufacturing action and understand the next step. What’s more? It also helps to add a new view where the end user can add different instructions related to the work. This will help to avoid mistakes. Usually, the engineering manufacturing wing performs all these steps. These steps are usually done by the engineering manufacturing department. Odoo helps to learn about what all process have already been completed and the steps pending. This also helps to improve the process. Odoo offers an intuitive interface to set all activities in a few minutes and manage the manufacturing process efficiently.
