Production & distribution
Manage your production and distribution processes
Production process management is the practice of mapping, running and improving the production and distribution processes an organisation depends on – order handling, manufacturing and transport. Gluu combines process maps, work instructions, roles and live tasks in one place, so every production process is documented and actually followed.

What it is
Production process management is how production and distribution teams turn fragmented, person-dependent tasks into clear, repeatable processes. In Gluu, each process is a living map of activities, roles and work instructions that people follow directly – so orders, manufacturing and transport run the same way every time, whoever is away. It is the same closed loop that runs the rest of your business, applied to production and distribution.
Why it matters
Why production teams put their processes in Gluu
One source of truth
No more production steps scattered across spreadsheets, inboxes and people’s heads. Every process lives in one place, current and visible to the whole team.
A consistent way of working
New joiners and stand-ins follow the same guided steps every time – so quality does not depend on who happens to be handling it.
Audit-ready control
Every change is versioned and every task is logged, so ISO, GDPR and internal-control requirements are evidenced without a scramble before the audit.

Frequently asked questions
Production process management is the practice of mapping, running and improving core production and distribution processes so they run consistently instead of depending on individuals. It replaces scattered checklists and tribal knowledge with one living source of truth people follow.
Any production and distribution process – order handling, manufacturing, transport and change control. Gluu ships with real production process examples you can adapt, and you can build your own with the AI assistant or simple mapping.
No. Gluu’s simple mapping and AI process creation let teams capture how work flows in plain language, while valid BPMN 2.0 stays underneath for anyone who needs it.
Every process is versioned with review and rollback, and every task is logged. That gives you an audit trail for ISO and GDPR requirements, and drift between the documented process and real work is caught instead of quietly accumulating.
Yes. Production owns and edits its own processes in Gluu, with work instructions attached to each activity for the people who carry them out – so changing a step does not need an IT project.
