I’m a dev team lead for company that implements ERPs (specifically Odoo) across a bunch of different industries. By virtue of that, I’ve managed to wrap my head around a lot manufacturing processes and associated workflows (replenishment, raw material procurement and forecasting). Before this, I couldn’t tell you a thing about manufacturing processes!

If you’re so inclined, spin up an instance of Odoo CE or have a play with the Manufacturing module on a build at runbot.odoo.com
