Parsek's Production and BOM (Bill of Materials) module provides a fully-equipped MES (Manufacturing Execution System) for small to medium-sized manufacturing businesses, covering recipe (BOM) management, work order planning, work center tracking, and operation-based cost calculation.
Do You Have Production Visibility?
If you can't answer questions like "Which work order is currently active? Which machine is idle? How much finished product did I produce today? What was the actual cost?", then you lack the necessary tools to boost your production efficiency.
Key Features
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Raw material + semi-finished product list for each finished product; supports multi-level BOM.
Work Order
Create production order → reserve materials → plan operations → add output to stock.
Work Center
Machine, line, station. Hour-based capacity, operator assignment, maintenance schedule.
Routing
Sequence of production steps for each finished product: Cutting → Welding → Painting → Packaging. Duration of each step.
Operation Cost
Raw material + labor + machine hours + overhead = standard cost.
Consumption + Output Matching
Each work order deducts consumed materials from Stock, and adds the output to stock.
Scrap Management
Scrap during production is recorded; quality is improved with scrap rate analysis.
Lot / Serial Number Tracking
Lot numbers are assigned to production batches; traceability is ensured.

Try Free →1. BOM Definition
A recipe is created for the finished product: how many units/meters/kg of which material are used to produce 1 unit of the finished product. Supports multi-level (semi-finished product → finished product).
2. Work Order Creation
A "Produce 100 units of X finished product" order is opened. The system calculates the required materials according to the BOM; checks if there is enough in Stock; if insufficient, it automatically notifies Demand & Supply.
3. Routing Assignment
Which work center, in what sequence, by whom, and in what duration — the operation plan.
4. Production Execution
The operator starts the work order; material consumption is entered into the system at each operation step; completed steps are closed.
5. Finished Product Stock Entry
When the work order is completed, the produced quantity automatically enters stock; it is valued at standard cost; compared with actual cost (variance analysis).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is multi-level BOM supported?
Yes, unlimited levels such as semi-finished product → finished product → main finished product are supported. Cost calculation is automatically performed at each level.
Can I define alternative materials?
Yes, you can define alternatives for any material in the BOM. If the main material is not in stock, the system suggests an alternative.
How does lot/serial number tracking work?
A lot number is automatically generated for each production batch; when the finished product is shipped, the buyer receives a notification with the lot number. In case of complaints/returns, the lot trace is followed.
Is subcontracted production supported?
Yes, material shipment, return, and payment calculation processes for subcontracting businesses are fully managed within the system.
Are production metrics like OEE / KPI automatic?
Yes, OEE is automatically calculated from machine availability, performance speed, and quality rate data; it provides reports broken down by shift/operator/machine.
Digitize Your Production
If your recipes are in Excel, your work orders on paper, and your output is estimated — you're leaving production efficiency on the table. Switch to a digital MES with Parsek.
