Bricklead’s Manufacturing Essentials application offers a comprehensive set of features designed to improve flexibility in process manufacturing.

• Co-product and by-product management: Enables efficient management of by-products from production.
  Backflushing in production: Automation of the deduction of raw materials consumed during the manufacturing process.
• Multi-order consumption: Ability to process multiple production orders simultaneously to optimize production flows.
• Production variance management: Tracking and adjustment of variances between planned and actual production to optimize resource management.

This application improves operational efficiency and ensures better control of manufacturing processes in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Bricklead’s Manufacturing Batch Size application optimizes the creation of production orders by automating them based on predefined batch sizes.

With this application, users can define and manage bills of materials (BOMs) tailored to each batch size, ensuring precise control and detailed understanding of the components in each recipe. When generating production orders based on these batch-specific BOMs, the application provides accurate information for picking the necessary components per batch, ensuring consistency and uniformity in each production run.

Bricklead’s Recipe Instructions application facilitates the management and organization of production recipes by integrating detailed instructions, ingredients, and operations directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

• Standardization and quality: Ensures product consistency by using precise, standardized recipes that are automatically integrated into production orders, reducing errors and wasted time.
• Enhanced traceability: Maintains a detailed record of ingredients and preparation methods, ensuring compliance with food safety regulations.
• Optimized cross-departmental communication: Centralizes recipe data, enabling effective collaboration between different departments.
• Reduced human error: Provides clear, step-by-step instructions, limiting variations in food preparation and production, while ensuring accurate tracking of work instruction execution.

With Recipe Instructions, food and beverage companies can improve the quality, traceability, and efficiency of their production within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Bricklead’s Production Scenarios application enables manufacturing companies to adapt to variations in demand by defining different production flows, material consumption patterns, and resource allocations.

Yield optimization: Improves production efficiency by reducing waste and adjusting available resources.

Responsiveness to demand fluctuations: Allows production to be adapted to periods of high activity for certain products.

Multiple production scenarios: Ability to create multiple scenarios for manufacturing the same finished product, each with its own bill of materials (BOM) and routing.

Efficient use of resources: Dynamically adjusts resource allocation based on availability and capacity.

With Production Scenarios, companies can better manage their operations and optimize their efficiency in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Real-time visibility is essential in the food industry, where yield, quality, and timing directly impact margins and product safety. Production Follow-up provides live tracking of production progress, consumption, waste, downtime, and yield. It helps supervisors respond quickly to deviations, improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and maintain tight control over batch execution and labor efficiency.

Food manufacturers need accurate information on yields, raw material variations, labor costs, and machine performance.
Advanced Manufacturing Statistics aggregates production data into structured, analyzable key performance indicators that help managers understand profitability by recipe, line, batch, or customer.
