Introduction

Managing a paper plate manufacturing unit manually can be chaotic — tracking raw materials, handling machines, managing labor, monitoring stock, and ensuring timely delivery often become overwhelming.

That’s where our Paper Plate Manufacturing ERP comes in.

Designed specifically for small and medium manufacturers, it automates the entire workflow — from raw material purchase to production, packaging, inventory management, and sales — all in one integrated system.

Dashboard

Our main dashboard gives you a bird’s-eye view of the entire factory’s performance, including stock, production, orders, and daily activity.

Manufacturing Dashboard

A dedicated manufacturing dashboard helps operators, supervisors, and owners track real-time production status, machine performance, and process orders.

---

Item Master

The Item Master maintains detailed information about Raw Materials, Semi-Finished Goods, and Finished Products — ensuring complete data accuracy across all departments.

---

Reports

Stock Balance

Real-time stock balance reports show how much raw material, mixture, sheets, and finished plates are available at any moment.

🏭 How the Paper Plate Manufacturing Process Works

Below is a real-world scenario that shows how a paper plate manufacturing unit operates — and how our ERP helps manage every stage efficiently.

---

Step 1: Procuring Raw Materials

A typical manufacturing cycle starts with the purchase of three primary raw materials: RM1, RM2, and RM3. Each material has different suppliers, pricing, and stock units.

When raw materials are purchased, the ERP automatically logs:

Purchase Cycle

• Request for Quotation
• Supplier
• Supplier Quotation
• Purchase Order
• Purchase Receipt
• Purchase Invoice
• Payment Entry

After these steps, stock levels of RM1, RM2, and RM3 are instantly updated, giving managers accurate visibility.

---

Step 2: Preparing the Mixture

After the raw materials arrive, the production team prepares a Mixture Batch by combining RM1, RM2, and RM3 in a specific ratio (e.g., 40% RM1 + 35% RM2 + 25% RM3).

In the ERP:

• A Mixture Entry is created with the quantity of each raw material used.
• The system automatically reduces the corresponding stock from the warehouse.
• The final “Mixture Material” becomes a new semi-finished inventory item ready for the next process.

This ensures accurate material tracking and cost calculation for every batch.

Step 3: Sheet Formation

The prepared mixture is now sent to the Sheet Forming Machine. Here, it’s converted into Sheets, which will later become the final food plates.

In the ERP, a Production Order is generated for the sheet-making process. It records:

• The machine used
• Operator details
• Number of sheets produced
• Wastage percentage

This helps monitor machine performance and production efficiency.

Step 4: Plate Manufacturing

Finally, the sheets are transferred to the Plate Pressing Machine, where they are molded into paper food plates of various sizes (6-inch, 8-inch, 12-inch, etc.).

Each finished plate batch is recorded as a Finished Good Entry in the ERP. The system automatically: • Moves the stock from “Sheet” to “Finished Plate” inventory • Calculates material consumption • Updates available finished stock in real time

📊 Complete Visibility from Start to Finish

By the end of this cycle, the ERP provides a clear picture: • How much of each raw material (RM1, RM2, RM3) was consumed • Total mixture and sheets produced • Wastage and yield percentage • Final quantity of finished paper plates ready for dispatch

All this happens without manual calculations or paperwork — the ERP manages it automatically.
