Product concept

Manufacturing Inventory Control

A material planning and inventory product concept designed to reduce ingredient shortages in shoe and sandal manufacturing.

A material planning and inventory product concept we designed to connect stock, suppliers, production consumption, and shortage visibility.

Context

We designed the product concept around the way manufacturing teams connect materials, units, suppliers, production consumption, and reorder decisions.

Challenge

We needed to account for ingredient availability, unit conversion, production planning, and shortage visibility without claiming business outcomes that had not been measured in production.

Product scope

  • Material catalog
  • Unit conversion
  • Bills of materials
  • Stock movements
  • Supplier and purchase records
  • Production consumption
  • Reorder rules
  • Shortage forecast
  • Alerts
  • Audit history

Outcome

We created a coherent product direction that connects planning, stock movement, supplier records, and shortage visibility in one operational workflow.
