PROBLEM
Trim work orders were written by hand from the BOM, split by supplier. As styles and colours multiplied the arithmetic grew. This document leaves the company, so an error becomes a cost.
THE OLD PROCESS
- 01Check the BOM
- 02Work out consumption per style and colour
- 03Split it by supplier
- 04Fill in the work order format
- 05Review, then send
WHAT I BUILT
- Takes both the BOM and the PO recap as input
- Consumption per unit is entered by the user — the tool adds no loss allowance of its own
- Lines are grouped into one work order per supplier
