Hi all,

I'd like to share another progress update on the Manufacturing PWA effort
and request feedback from the community.

In addition to the Production Run screens shared earlier, I've now created
initial UI/UX designs for:

BOM Management
https://www.figma.com/design/1wantteXXUlzPRYev1X5gr/Ionic-8-Material-UI-Kit--Community---Community-?node-id=36313-1243&t=5yG89NEbeUgemZgH-1

Routing and Routing Task Management
https://www.figma.com/design/1wantteXXUlzPRYev1X5gr/Ionic-8-Material-UI-Kit--Community---Community-?node-id=36278-5317&t=5yG89NEbeUgemZgH-1

I would appreciate feedback on the workflows, information layout,
terminology, and any manufacturing-specific functionality that may be
missing.

One architectural direction I'm currently exploring is to build these as
independent applications rather than a single large manufacturing
application. For example:


   - Production Run Management



   - BOM Management



   - Routing Management



   - MRP Management


Additional manufacturing applications as needed

These applications would then be accessible from a common Manufacturing
Launchpad application that serves as the entry point for manufacturing
users.

The idea is similar to how modern enterprise platforms provide a collection
of focused applications that share a common navigation experience while
remaining independently deployable and maintainable.

As with the Production Run designs, these screens were created using the
AI-assisted workflow described in my earlier emails, and the next step will
be generating Ionic/Vue implementations from these designs.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
