monday.com works well for managing manufacturing in both small and large companies. You can define every production stage for each product automatically, track each stage as it happens, update progress statuses and see where everything stands in real time. 

Order Intake Management
Order intake is the first stage of manufacturing. In monday.com, you can create an order form based on a predefined product catalog, organized by SKU or product description. From there, you manage the intake stages: sending a price quote, receiving approval, logging emails in the system and moving the order into production. Every required document is sent and received on time, and everything needed to start production is in one place, which helps prevent errors and missed details. 

Production Tracking & Management
Once the production stages are defined, you can see which stage each product is at and update the status of every task – complete, on hold or defective part. In serial production, you can track how many units entered production, how many were completed and how many were defective, and make adjustments where needed.

Machine & Process Management

Each machine is assigned to the products made on it, so at any moment you can see workloads and how resources are being used. Machine statuses show which machines are running, which are under maintenance and which need repair.

Inspections & Approvals

For products that require strict inspection and signed approval (for example, medical products), you can document every inspection stage and set approval permissions per product at each stage. You can track inspections and approvals, confirm each stage was completed properly and make sure the finished product meets all required standards. Setting start times and production durations also lets you track production time at every station. 

Dashboards & Real-Time Overview

Dashboards give you an accurate picture of what’s happening on the production floor at every stage – task statuses, process progress, production times and machine status, all in one place. You can spot bottlenecks as they happen, deal with them right away and use the data to keep improving your manufacturing process.
