Check the flour and bags before you start.

How many bags of today’s flour are in the ingredient store? Are the right sizes of noodle bags ready for packing? Preparing for noodle production means distinguishing flour products and packaging types as you check what is available. Recording quantities and storage places in Tana gives the production and packing teams the same inventory record to consult.

Name wheat or buckwheat flour by product and bag weight, packaging bags by code and size, and labels by their intended use. Register variations separately when they need their own counts, and add photos to distinguish similar bags. Set up storages for ingredient shelves, packaging shelves, and the packing area to see total quantities alongside the amount in each place. If something is missing from the work area, staff can check where the spares are kept.

Agree on counting units, such as unopened sacks of flour or individual packaging bags. If you count unopened flour, reduce the quantity by one when a sack is opened. Update packaging quantities as deliveries arrive, supplies are used, or stock moves between storages. Set low-stock thresholds to help avoid running out of regular ingredients and packaging. These use the total across all storages, so check individual storage quantities when deciding whether a work area needs replenishing. QR labels open shelf records directly, and CSV exports help with stocktakes.

Tana’s AI inventory management is a great fit for noodle makers

Use Tana’s AI inventory management to ask about recorded stock: “How many 25 kg sacks of flour A are in the ingredient store?” or “Where are the B201 packaging bags?” You can also request a quantity update, such as “Add the ten 25 kg sacks of flour A that arrived today to the ingredient store.”
