| No. | Business Process | User Requirement |
| 1 | Production Planning | System will allow issue of raw materials against multiple
orders. System should also capture an expected return quantity to be considered
during MRP.
System should also allow a post facto consumption based allocation of the issued raw material against each of the production orders. |
| 2 | Production | System will take into account the conversion between various units of measurement such as KGs, Length, Square meters, Units, Thousands etc and at each stage such as input and output at each work centre. |
| 3 | Production | System will do auto-conversion from one user input unit of measurement into other units of measurement |
| 4 | Production | System will allow capturing the output quantity and the wastage quantity at each work centre. |
| 5 | Production | System will be able to identify each material on the
shop floor as WIP, using unique identification codes.
These codes should capture: Type of Items- such as RM, WIP, Waste Item etc. Item - The actual material produced items like crab stick, etc. |
| 6 | Production | Semi-Finished Goods stock will be tracked using these WIP codes for quantity as well as value. |
| 7 | Production | System will also have the ability to track and record the transaction the Raw materials, packing and Finished goods using bar codes. |
| 8 | Production | System will also compute the idle time for each work centre based on the captured production data. |
| 9 | Production | System will be able to capture and report on shop floor data consolidated on date, machine, shift, process and job. Data to be captured are input / output quantities, consumption of materials, units of measurement, start and end time of the process, idle time, setup time for each SKU, labour time, machine time etc. |
| 10 | Production | System will be able to calculate the machine efficiency based on standard and actual parameters such as speed, run time etc. |
| 11 | Production | As the actual consumption for materials, labour and machine hours can be different from standard consumption - system will allow for variance monitoring and analysis |
| 12 | Production Planning | MIS on productivity such as total input and output of materials and reporting per work centre wise, plant wise etc. |
| 13 | Production Planning | Ability to report on the cost of production for each finished and semi-finished good. |
| 14 | Production | System will be able to interface with plant automation systems (Weighing M/c.) |
| 15 | Production | System will able to store production job history such as cause of variance , notes |
| 16 | Production | System will be able to support creation of alterative Bill of materials for product |
