Insulation Materials
Insulation Materials: production orders and BOM, stock and warehouse, quality and reporting.
Challenges
- Thickness and density are missing from the item card, so the wrong product gets shipped.
- Thermal conductivity (lambda) is not stored per batch, so document requests cannot be met.
- Converting between pallet, m² and pieces is done by hand, so order quantities come out wrong.
- Line cycle time is not linked to waste, so efficiency cannot be measured.
Workflows
From mix to line
- The raw-material mix recipe is defined with its ratios.
- The line production order opens with thickness, density and target m².
- Cycle time and waste are recorded on the same order.
From testing to palletising
- Lambda and density tests are run on the batch.
- The result is posted to the batch record and any document request is served from there.
- The product is stocked with pallet, m² and piece conversion.
Documents
- Mix recipe
- Line production order (thickness/density)

- Line cycle
- The production time measured at the work centre
FAQ
Can I keep thickness and density on the item card?
Yes — both are mandatory technical fields, which prevents shipping the wrong product.
Can I document the lambda value?
Yes — the batch test result is stored on record and produced as a report on request.
Can I convert between pallet and m²?
Yes — the multi-unit definition converts pallet, m² and pieces automatically.
Can I measure line efficiency?
Yes — cycle time and waste are recorded on the same order and the efficiency rate is reported.
Can I see stock by thickness?
Yes — each thickness is tracked as its own stock item.
