Plan materials and record partial builds without implementing MRP.

The operating model

Keep one clear stock record across every place where the team works.

Office, warehouse and mobile colleagues work from the same inventory record, while neighbouring business processes remain in the systems built for them.

• Component stores and optional workbench locations
• Confirmed production orders with planned material
• Partial runs and remaining quantity
• Usable, quarantined or rejected results

A typical day

From the first question to a movement everyone can explain.

A team confirms an order for 50 finished kits. The recipe version used for that order fixes the required components and makes the expected result visible. Today’s run completes 20 kits, consumes only the actual quantities and receives usable output. The remaining 30 stay planned for a later run.

When KnownStock fits

A strong choice when inventory is the shared operational problem.

• Recipes are simple and repeatable
• Inventory accuracy matters more than machine scheduling
• Partial output is a normal daily event
• Labour and overhead are handled outside KnownStock

When you need more

Add or choose a specialist system when the job extends beyond focused inventory operations.

• MRP, MES, routing, capacity or WIP
• Machine, labour or overhead costing
• Complex by-products or process genealogy
• Regulated quality or traceability
