How to Plan and Manage Production with Odoo 14

Odoo 14

Planning production and managing production are two important parts of any manufacturing business. These processes help a business to manage all activities in an efficient way and ensure the effective completion of all the works.


In a manufacturing unit, the works are mostly carried out based on manufacturing order. On receiving the manufacturing order, the user can plan the work order and production using Odoo. Odoo helps to list out all manufacturing orders based on deadline and priority.


For ensuring a systematic production, a user will have to plan a work order and work center. In this blog, we can take a look at how Odoo helps to manage production by planning production. This enables the user to locate and set work centers for the production activity. In this blog, we can take a look at how Odoo helps to manage production by planning production. As we can start production only after receiving a manufacturing order, we can start the planning process after confirming the manufacturing order.


A user can start production with the Odoo after seeing the manufacturing order which has to be considered for the process on a priority basis. To start production Go to Manufacturing> Operations> Manufacturing Orders> Work Orders. Work Orders helps the user to view all ongoing manufacturing orders.
