Manufacturing is the heart of any production-based business — and Odoo offers one of the most flexible and powerful Manufacturing and shop floor systems on the market.
This course is a complete, practical guide to mastering Odoo Manufacturing and the Shop Floor Applications from the ground up. Designed for ERP consultants, manufacturing professionals, and anyone looking to understand real production workflows in Odoo, this program takes you step-by-step through the entire manufacturing cycle — from configuration to execution and reporting.
You will start by learning how to set up core manufacturing elements such as workcenters, operations, product variants, attributes, and Bills of Materials (BoMs). Each concept is explained in a simple, clear way and demonstrated directly inside Odoo so you can follow along easily.
Once the foundations are set, the course moves into practical manufacturing scenarios, including creating production orders, managing work orders, handling scrap, unbuilding products, and tracking consumed materials. You will also learn how to plan production capacity, identify bottlenecks, and forecast demand using Master Production Scheduling (MPS) and planning tools.
A full module is dedicated to the Shop Floor Application, where you will see how operators can record their work in real time, track progress, register scrap, and optimize day-to-day operations directly from the factory floor.
By the end of this course, you will have a solid, hands-on understanding of Odoo Manufacturing and the confidence to implement, configure, and manage real manufacturing environments using Odoo ERP.
