-Introduction
+In Odoo, you can manage your manufacturing process in two different
-============
+ways. You can work with one document, or decide to have more information
+and control over it.
 
-There are two basic ways to manage manufacturing in Odoo. The first way
+In the first case, Odoo makes things easier and helps you manage work

-**manufacturing order**. The second way uses additional documents to
+the process, you just have to schedule the job and record the

+production.
-way, **Manufacturing orders** are divided into one or more steps
-defined by **work orders**, performed in an order defined by
-**routings**.

+But, if you need more control, you can use additional documents (steps)

+to your manufacturing process. This way, *Manufacturing Orders* are
+divided into one or more steps defined by *Work Orders* and performed
+in a sequence defined by *routings*.
 
-You will most likely use manufacturing orders without routings if all

-Managing your operations in this way is the default behavior in Odoo.
+Manage Manufacturing Without Routings
-There are two basic phases from planning to production:
+=====================================
 
-1. Create manufacturing orders
+If your manufacturing process is limited to one place, one person and
+one step, you will probably use manufacturing orders without routings.
 
-2. Record Production
+In Odoo, it is the default behavior. If work this way, there are two
+basic phases from planning to production:

-=========================================================
 
-To use work orders and routings, you will need to enable the option

-**Manage production by work orders** From

-fields. You will also be able to create **work centers**, the
+
+To use *Work Centers* and *Routings*, you will need to enable the
+*Work Orders* feature. To do so, go to the *Manufacturing* app
+settings.

+
+Now, you can add routings to *BoMs* and configure your operations
+taking place at different *work centers*. The *Work Centers* are the
 locations at which work orders are performed.
 
-When manufacturing with routings and work orders, each work order is

-scheduled individually. You will also have access to time and capacity

-Manufacturing using routings can be broken down into several steps. When

-The workflow is thus divided into three basic phases, as follows:
