Test every platform against them. Quick answer Plastics producers manage moulds, machines, resin and regrind, and production runs. In Bahrain, plastics manufacturing typically need: mould and machine planning, raw material control, production runs, maintenance. Machine-level production tracking and costing are central. - Machine downtime not recorded - Scrap and regrind not costed - Manual production reports - Key records: moulds and machines, resins and additives, production runs Choosing software for plastics manufacturing?

Workflows ## Five Workflows for Plastics Manufacturing Use this list to test any platform with your own examples. **Plastics Manufacturing: workflows an ERP should support** | Workflow | What it covers | Question to ask a vendor | | Mould and machine planning | Match moulds to machines and schedules | How does the system handle mould and machine planning for our business? | | Raw material control | Manage resin, masterbatch and regrind | How does the system handle raw material control for our business? | | Production runs | Record output, rejects and downtime | How does the system handle production runs for our business? | | Maintenance | Schedule mould and machine maintenance | How does the system handle maintenance for our business? | | Costing | Allocate material, machine time and energy per product | How does the system handle costing for our business? | Context ## What Sits Behind the Workflows Data objects involved: Moulds and machines, Resins and additives, Production runs, Customer orders. Typical integrations: Machine data collection, Accounting, Barcode scanning, Distributors. - Machine downtime not recorded - Scrap and regrind not costed - Manual production reports Processes ## Core Processes for Plastics Manufacturing **Plastics Manufacturing: core processes** | Process | What the system should do | | Mould and machine planning | Match moulds to machines and schedules | | Raw material control | Manage resin, masterbatch and regrind | | Production runs | Record output, rejects and downtime | | Maintenance | Schedule mould and machine maintenance | | Costing | Allocate material, machine time and energy per product | Data and Systems ## What Plastics Manufacturing Need to Plan For Machine-level production tracking and costing are central. ### Records to prepare - Moulds and machines - Resins and additives - Production runs - Customer orders ### Systems to connect - Machine data collection - Accounting - Barcode scanning - Distributors ### Problems we aim to remove - Machine downtime not recorded - Scrap and regrind not costed - Manual production reports Results ## How Success Is Measured We agree measures with you at scoping and compare against your own baseline. We do not publish invented benchmarks. **Success measures** | Measure | How to read it | | Adoption | Share of target users working in the system weekly, compared with your starting point. | | Cycle time | Time from enquiry to quote, order to invoice, or request to approval, measured before and after. | | Data quality | Duplicate, missing or mismatched records found in review samples. | | Reporting effort | Hours spent producing month-end and management reports. | | Control | Approvals, audit trail and access reviews that are in place and being used. | FAQ ## Plastics Manufacturing Questions - Is this guidance specific to plastics manufacturing?
