Production Management Software for Furniture Manufacturers
Manage your production process end to end, from order to dispatch. Work orders, production planning, capacity management, bill of materials and real-time production tracking on a single platform.
Why Do Problems Arise in Furniture Production?
Furniture production is complex — every order has a different configuration, every product consists of dozens of parts, and the production line passes through multiple stations. If this process is not controlled, chaos is inevitable. Here are the problems you face every day:
Work Order Chaos
The order arrived and was reported to production — but how? On paper, on WhatsApp or in Excel. Which order should production prioritize, what material is needed, which station does it pass through? Work orders are scattered, priorities are unclear and there is confusion on the production line.
Production Planning Cannot Be Done
There are 100 orders, in which order will they be produced? Delivery dates are approaching but capacity is insufficient. Which order is priority, which machine is free, which craftsman is available? Planning is done in Excel but when something changes, the whole plan falls apart. A realistic deadline cannot be given.
Lack of a Bill of Materials (BOM)
For a sofa set, which materials, in what quantity, through which operations? The BOM does not exist or is out of date. Material need is estimated, sometimes it falls short and production stops, sometimes too much is bought and sits in stock. Waste rates are unknown.
Production Status Is Invisible
An order entered production — what stage is it at now? Is cutting done, has sewing started, when will assembly begin? The boss asks, the salesperson asks, the customer asks — no one knows. There is no production tracking and the order status is known only to the production chief.
Capacity and Efficiency Uncertainty
How many sofas can we produce per day, which station is the bottleneck, which machine runs efficiently? This data cannot be accessed. Capacity is used without planning, some stations are overloaded and others idle. A realistic deadline cannot be given and promises to the customer are not kept.
Production Cost Is Unknown
How much does it really cost to produce a sofa set? There is a raw-material cost but labor, machine depreciation and waste cost are not calculated. The cost is estimated when setting the sale price and profitability gets out of control.
How Does Production Management Work with UR-GE ERP?
From order to work order, from planning to production tracking, the entire process is managed on a single platform, integrated with the inventory and sales modules.
Work Order Management
When an order is approved, a work order is created automatically. Which product, in which configuration, in what quantity — all the details are in the work order. The work order is assigned to production stations, the priority is set and the material need is calculated automatically. With digital work orders, an end to paper.
- Automatic work order creation from orders
- Work order prioritization
- Station and operator assignment
- Digital work orders (tablet/terminal)
Bill of Materials (BOM) and Routing
Define a bill of materials (BOM) for each product — which materials, in what quantity. Define the production route — through which operations, in which order. Dynamic BOM by configuration: when a different fabric is selected, the material list updates automatically.
- Multi-level bill of materials (BOM)
- Production routing and operation definition
- Dynamic BOM by configuration
- Waste and loss rate definition
Production Planning and Scheduling
Plan all work orders on a visual schedule. Automatic scheduling is done considering machine capacity, staff availability and material status. Plan changes by drag and drop, delay alerts and alternative-scenario simulation. Give realistic deadlines.
- Visual production schedule (Gantt)
- Capacity-based automatic planning
- Drag-and-drop plan changes
- Delay alerts and rescheduling
Real-Time Production Tracking
The instant status of every work order is visible — at which station, what percent complete, estimated finish time. With production terminals or mobile devices, operators record job start/finish. The entire production line is monitored live on the dashboard and bottlenecks are detected instantly.
- Instant production status monitoring
- Production terminal and mobile input
- Station-based progress tracking
- Live production-line dashboard
MRP - Material Requirements Planning
Material need is calculated automatically based on open orders and the production plan. How much of which raw material is needed, how much is in stock, how much should be purchased — the MRP report is ready. Purchase requests are created automatically, preventing production stoppages due to material shortages.
- Automatic material need calculation
- Stock status vs. open order comparison
- Automatic purchase request creation
- Lead-time-based planning
Production Performance Analysis
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), cycle times, waste rates, operator efficiency — all production KPIs on the dashboard. Which station is the bottleneck, which shift is efficient, planned vs. actual production comparison. Make data-driven continuous improvement.
- OEE and efficiency analysis
- Waste and loss rate tracking
- Planned vs. actual comparison
- Operator performance scorecard
