Most engineering project progress through these steps:
1. Concept
2. Feasibility analysis
3. Requirements and Planning
4. Design
5. Execution
6. Testing
Let’s see how this might work with USA Odoo’s solution:
ConceptIdentify opportunities based on existing data and trend analysis using Odoo’s pivot analysis and reporting functions. This may include new product opportunities discovered via data analysis from integrated e-commerce sites or product improvements detected by analyzing manufacturing data in production cycles.
Feasibility AnalysisFinancial analysis including profitability assessment, net present value, internal rate of return, etc. USA Odoo’s financial reporting tools allow for a feasibility analysis by evaluating the key metrics. This includes variable versus fixed cost assessment and a determination of production cost based on detailed BOMs, labor, and work center processes. Project costing is made simple by using a combination of Odoo’s integrated modules.

Requirements and PlanningOdoo includes manufacturing and project planning tools that can be used to support the planning process. USA Odoo can complement the planning process by supporting with proven methodologies for project planning and execution. We help our customers to mitigate risk with their capital investments in business automation.
Odoo Product Life Cycle Management (PLM)Odoo PLM is used to manage the entire product engineering process. PLM helps to connect, organize, manage, trace, and centralize all information related to the product. PLM is the tool that allows all parts of the organization to effectively collaborate and exchange information. This includes stakeholders, engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, sales, etc. Safety and quality management becomes an automated and predictable process using PLM.
PLM provides a solid foundation for developing the Bill of Materials (BOM) for each product or product variant. This includes involvement of Procurement for sourcing and Design documents that can be stored in Odoo’s document management repositories.
Because of increasing product complexity in today’s markets, PLM is critical to manage the entire product lifecycle. In addition it becomes increasingly important to integrate collaboration with suppliers, customers, channel partners, as well as maintenance and services groups. USA Odoo is an excellent framework for this collaboration.

DesignUSA Odoo has open interfaces to integrate with CAD tools, as well as document management systems. Manufacturing processes can be planned together with supporting documents and CAD files. Integrating all documents and procedures in one Odoo system helps to streamline approval processes and ensures that all relevant review steps were taken. This process enforcement can be very helpful for auditing or certification. In Odoo, you can attach your documents directly to BoMs, routings or other elements.
Alerts on new products or changes are triggered automatically when information is passed to manufacturing. These will automatically display on worksheets or work center control panels. With Odoo, it becomes easy to manage multiple versions of product documents.
