CORE PRODUCTION SUITE

Precision Manufacturing Tools for Nigerian Producers

Track recipes, work order state changes, batch yields, and labor costs from a single screen.

Multi-Level Bill of Materials

Define exact ingredient recipes and sub-assemblies. Link raw commodities (flour, sugar, steel), secondary packaging (boxes, plastic wrap), and labor overheads to every finished product SKU.

  • Fractional ingredient measurements (kg, grams, liters)
  • Packaging materials depletion linkage
  • Configurable scrap / wastage allowance percentages

Automated Material Depletion

The moment a work order is dispatched to the production floor (`dispatchMaterials`), Tracepos instantly decrements the raw materials from your raw warehouse inventory, blocking theft and pilferage.

  • Immediate deduction from raw stock ledgers
  • Material shortage alerts before job initiation
  • Material return logging for unused surplus

Batch Yield & Variance Accounting

Compare theoretical output against actual physical batch yield. If 5 bags of flour should produce 1,200 loaves of bread but only yields 1,050, Tracepos flags the 150-unit deficit for managerial investigation.

  • Actual vs Expected yield variance reports
  • Wastage reason code categorization
  • Scrap recycling and disposal logs

Production Batch Numbering

Finished goods exiting production receive auto-generated batch lot numbers with manufacturing and expiry dates. Seamlessly integrates with POS and distribution systems for full NAFDAC compliance.

  • Full backward trace from customer receipt to raw supplier
  • NAFDAC audit batch report generation
  • FEFO pick enforcement for finished goods warehouse

True Cost of Goods Manufactured

Tracepos rolls up raw material costs, packaging consumables, machine operator labor, and energy overheads into the finished product valuation, ensuring you price with 100% margin certainty.

  • Real-time COGM unit cost calculation
  • Automatic accounting journal updates for Work-in-Progress
  • Finished goods warehouse inventory credit

Shift Accountability & Output

Assign work orders to morning, afternoon, or night factory shifts. Track output per machine operator and hold shift supervisors directly accountable for batch yields and ingredient consumption.

  • Supervisor sign-off at shift handover
  • Output per employee leaderboard
  • Integrated with Tracepos HRM shift attendance
CASE STUDY: COMMERCIAL BAKERY & FOOD PROCESSING

"How We Slashed Raw Ingredient Wastage by 22% Across 4 Daily Baking Shifts"

"Managing ingredient consumption across 4 daily shifts at our commercial bakery in Ibadan was a constant battle. Sugar and margarine kept disappearing, and nobody took responsibility for burnt or underweight dough batches. Once we implemented Tracepos Bill of Materials and Work Orders, raw ingredients were locked and only dispatched against formal work orders. If night shift used 10 bags of flour, the system expected exactly 2,400 family loaves. Our ingredient leakage vanished within 30 days."
