The "lot": just a National Italian lottery for many people ...
... an essential information for us.

In almost every manufacturing company, the traceability of components represents one of the crucial feature of the entire manufacturing process.
The increasingly demanding standards of quality and management control are ensured not only thanks to knowledge of the origin of materials used in the various manufacturing process, but also thank to the spreading of this information in the semi-finished  product  re-used  in them and in the finished product sold.

That is why the lot number and its traceability, that Mago.net manages in an integrated and complete manner across production, logistics and accounting modules, can be considered both as origin and destination point of the entire manufacturing process.

but... perhaps not everyone knows that...

It is now also possible to define a desired number of shifts within the same working day and, during the execution of confirmation procedure directly in relation to them and to a single manufacturing order, to generate different lots of semi-finished or finished products.

Learn and discover how these lots are automatically organized into hierarchies, and how to trace their history from a single "father" linked to the manufacturing  order itself. This new functionality is available starting from the 3.1 release of Mago.net Professional edition.
