Unversioned
Which recipe did that batch use?
A bill of materials edited in place cannot explain a batch made before the change, which is exactly when you need it.
Manufacturing
Find the Variance While the Line Is Still Running
Bills of materials with versions you can go back to, work orders planned against real work centre capacity, and material that leaves stock as output is recorded rather than at a month-end reconciliation.
- Versioned BOMs
- Stock in step
- Capacity planning
Explain any batch
Old BOM versions stay, so history is answerable.
Ledger and floor agree
Material comes off as output goes on.
Variance while it matters
Raised during the run, not after it.
The real bottleneck
Utilisation per work centre, not per assumption.
The floor knows what happened. The office finds out on Friday.
Three gaps account for most of what a production record gets wrong, and none of them is a manufacturing problem.
Unreconciled
Stock and the floor disagree
Material is consumed on the line and deducted from the ledger days later, so neither figure is trustworthy.
Unplanned
Everything is scheduled onto one line
Without capacity per work centre, orders are planned against optimism and the bottleneck is found in the queue.
Neome closes all three by versioning the recipe, deducting as you produce, and planning against real capacity.
Bills of materials
A recipe with a version, not a file that got edited
Each product carries a version-controlled bill of materials with component-level quantities, and one version is active at a time. Keeping the earlier versions is what lets a batch produced six months ago be explained, which matters for a customer complaint and for any regulated process.
- Version-controlled BOM
- One active version
- Component-level quantities
Work orders and capacity
Planned against the capacity you actually have
A work order names the product, the quantity and the schedule, and moves through stages the whole plant can see. Output and rejections are recorded as they happen on the floor, so progress at three in the afternoon is a number rather than a walk down the line to look. Because work centres carry their real capacity, the schedule is checked against what the plant can do rather than against what would be convenient, which is what lets you see a bottleneck before the queue forms in front of it.
- Product-based planning
- Output recorded on the floor
- Capacity-based scheduling
Material
Stock comes down as output goes up
Material is deducted against the work order automatically as production is recorded, so the ledger and the floor stop disagreeing. Consumption is compared to what the bill of materials expected, and the variance is raised while the run is still on rather than at a month-end reconciliation.
- Automatic deduction
- Variance against BOM
- Raised during the run
Quality
Rejections belong to the run that produced them
Output and rejection are recorded together, so a quality problem is attached to the work order, the line and the shift rather than discovered as a total. Inspections carry through to the same record, which is what makes a pattern in one line or one material visible at all.
- Rejection on the work order
- Linked to line and shift
- Inspection on the same record
Reporting
What the plant made, and what is still on the floor
Set a date range and every figure below it is bounded by those dates.
Production output
What did we actually make?
Quantity produced against quantity planned, by product and by line, taken from what the floor recorded rather than from a figure assembled afterwards.
Work in progress
What is still on the floor?
Open work orders with the material already issued against them, which is the number that explains why the stock ledger and the shelf do not agree.
Machine utilisation
Where is the bottleneck?
Utilisation per work centre against its configured capacity, which is usually not where people assume it is until they see it.

What it costs
One price, and Manufacturing is already in it
