In Manufacturing, Stock control is not just a matter of recording all stock movements. When tracking components, subassemblies and the finished items there are many ways to implement this.

But which is the most practical for the production line and stock control systems in place?

• Scheduled
• Process Flow
• Batch
• Discreet

All use a mixture of stock movements

• Back flushing
• Formal Issue
• Kanban
• LOT/Batch control
• Serial numbers

What are the issues?

• Which order type is the best for each line or product?
• Which stock movement types are the most practical?
• How do we define the Bill of Materials and Operations to get the most out of the information fed back from the shop floor?
• Where do we need to site terminals in order to input the correct information timely?
• Can we ensure that component and finished good inventories are accurate?
