Manufacturing BOMs – Built for Simplicity, Designed for Complexity

Our client is a mid-sized industrial equipment manufacturer supplying customized assemblies and multi-part systems to both domestic and international markets. With hundreds of components, complex sub-assemblies, and a mix of in-house and outsourced processes, their existing systems couldn’t scale or adapt to evolving production demands.

Key Challenges

Unstructured BOMs Across Products

BOMs were maintained in spreadsheets with no version control, leading to errors in production and material planning.

Disconnected Operations & Subcontracting Complexity

Their subcontracting workflow was entirely offline, with no integration into MRP or costing structures.

Inaccurate Costing & Resource Planning

Without integrated costing or resource allocation, the business lacked visibility into margins and delays.

Inefficient Change Management

BOM changes weren’t tracked or approved systematically, leading to confusion on the shop floor.

Solutions

Structured, Multi-Level BOMs

All products were mapped into Odoo with accurate multi-level BOMs, routing steps, and component details. Phantom BOMs and alternate components were configured where required.

Integrated Subcontracting Flow

Subcontracting operations were modeled within Odoo, including component transfers, service costing, and subcontractor delivery tracking.

Dynamic Costing & Resource Forecasting

Material and operation costs were configured using Odoo’s integrated cost structure. We enabled real-time tracking of cost variations, helping in proactive pricing decisions.

Version Control & Approval Workflow

A custom approval flow was built for engineering and production teams to manage changes to BOMs with traceability and rollback options.

Results

We implemented a comprehensive Odoo Manufacturing & MRP solution, tailored to address each of their pain points

40% reduction in production delays


98% accuracy in material requirement planning

Seamless collaboration between production and procurement teams

9.6/10

"We didn’t realize how much clarity and control we were missing until we saw our processes come alive in Odoo. Purple Chillies didn’t just implement a tool – they restructured how we manage manufacturing with a scalable, transparent system. Our shop floor team now has what they’ve always needed – real-time direction, minimal confusion, and zero guesswork."
