Rutba Suite · Manufacturing & MRP software

Rutba Manufacturing Available

Versioned bills of materials with work centres on every routing step, a regenerative MRP run that nets against real inventory and pegs plan to demand, and a shop-floor terminal that reports work in progress from the bench where it happens.

Requires Rutba Inventory — it reads the same records rather than keeping a second copy of them.

From the bill of materials to the bench that builds it

Why Rutba Manufacturing

Production planning goes wrong when the plan, the stockroom and the floor are three different systems. Rutba Manufacturing runs one: an MRP run that reads today's stock and open orders, plans against pinned bill versions, produces buy and make orders you can firm in place, and hands the dispatch list to a tablet on the bench that reports output as it happens — offline if it has to.

Small and mid-sized manufacturers whose plan and floor keep disagreeing

Assembly, kitting and job-shop operations tired of MRP that runs monthly

Producers who need bill versions frozen at release so the floor works to the right recipe

Anyone who ran a spreadsheet next to their ERP because the spreadsheet was easier

What's inside

The apps Rutba Manufacturing unlocks

One listing, 5 applications — all on the same customer record, catalog and books as the rest of the family. Where an app is at a different stage from the listing, it says so on the card.

Manufacturing

Work orders and the job cards under them, bundles, the materials issued against them, and the people paid by the piece for them — with bills of material carrying versions, effectivity and the release that pins what the floor will build.

Planning

Demand and forecasts, the master schedule per branch, the time-phased MRP run, planned orders with pegging, firming, exceptions and the production timeline.

Shop Floor

The operator terminal on a shared device: clock on by PIN, take the dispatch list for the bench, start and stop an operation, report output and downtime — offline if it has to be, and an andon board the floor reads from across the room.

Quality

Coming soon

Inspection plans and the inspection queue, non-conformances, corrective actions, supplier quality and certificates.

Wired and specified; no features yet. The inspection door the shop-floor terminal already writes rejects through is the seam it will grow from.

Maintenance

Coming soon

Machines and equipment, preventive schedules, requests and orders, spares, downtime and OEE.

Wired and specified. The work engine behind it is built by the facilities program and shared: a machine is an asset, so Maintenance and Rutba Facilities are two surfaces over one engine rather than two registers of the same things.

Where Rutba Manufacturing actually stands. Read the availability label on each app; three of the five are built and two are not. Shipped through 2026-09-03: engineering data, work centres and calendars, the MRP run with pegging and firming and the timeline, the shop-floor terminal, and downtime with the andon board. Quality and Maintenance are wired and specified with no features yet — the honest sequence, because an inspection queue with nothing writing into it and a maintenance schedule with no machine register are both worth less than nothing. Finite scheduling, OEE, machine integrations and multi-plant are also outstanding.

Capabilities

What you can do with it

Versioned bills of materials with effectivity, where-used and a change record
Work centres with capacity, calendars, and a labour basis for costing
A regenerative MRP run — nets on-hand and reserved, respects lead times, plans by lot policy
Planned buy and make orders with pegging back to the demand that caused them
Firming that survives the next run — supply, not plan
A work-order timeline and an exception list, so a planner has a picture and something to act on
A shop-floor terminal with device pairing and an offline queue
Stops reported with a reason code, driving an andon board the floor can read
The floor works to the pinned bill version, so the bench and the plan cannot disagree
Standard cost per version, computed from the bill, the routing and the work-centre rates
Batch and lot traceability, and cost roll-up posted to the accounts
