The management of incoming materials (i.e. material management) in the machinery & equipment industry stands as a crucial process that dictates the efficiency and success of the entire production line. The current global scenario, characterised by material shortages, has further underscored the importance of meticulous material management, making it a focal point for industry leaders and innovators.

In this context, the concept of the “bill of process” emerges as a backbone, facilitating the timely arrangement of material pickups and thereby ensuring a seamless flow in the production process.

The Bill of Process: A Necessity in Modern Manufacturing

The “bill of process” is more than just a concept; it is a strategic approach that allows companies to synchronise the arrival of materials with various stages of the assembly process. This not only prevents delays but also ensures that the right materials are available at the right time, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing wastage.
