-Using an alternative Work Center
+Alternative Work Centers
 ================================
 
-For many manufacturing companies, a common issue is to have to
-manufacture, at the same time, several products usually produced at the
-same work center. If in practice, employees can manufacture the goods at
-another work center, it is not that simple.
+Manufacturing several different products simultaneously at the same work center
+is a common issue for manufacturing companies. Although in practice, employees can 
+manufacture the goods at another work center instead of waiting for one to be available, 
+it's not always simple to have visibility on which work center is busy and plan resources 
+accordingly in real-time.
 
-You need to keep track of the job: which work center has been used and
-when, so you can schedule maintenance efficiently. With Odoo, you can
-configure it so you can keep tracking manufacturing orders and your
-employees have an alternative work center to use.
+With Odoo, you can configure alternative work centers to solve this issue. This automatically
+checks which work center is busy and which equivalent ones are free, and schedules orders and
+maintenance accordingly.
 
-This way, your process becomes more efficient, and less non-productive
-time will be noticed.
+This way, your process becomes more efficient, as work center utilisation is optimised. 
 
 
 Configure your Work Centers
 ===========================
 
-The first thing to do is to go to the *Manufacturing* app settings.
-Then, enable the *Work Orders* feature and hit save.
+First, go to the :menuselection:`Manufacturing app --> Configuration --> Settings`. Then, enable
+the Work Orders feature and hit save.

-The next step is to create your *routing*. Add your work center and an

 Create your Work Orders

 A *Bill of Materials* is a document defining the quantity of each

+can also include various operations and individual step guidelines

-With Odoo, you can link multiple BoMs to each product and use it to

-with one product only.
+With Odoo's MRP solution, multiple BOMs can also be linked to each product,

+This will help you to optimize your manufacturing process and save time 
+as a result. 
 
 Setting up a BoM
 ================
+The simplest BoM set up is one without operations or instructions. 
+In this case, you will manage your production using Manufacturing Orders
+only.
 
-You can use BoMs without routings. You will use this if you choose to
-manage your manufacturing operations using manufacturing orders only. In
-other words, you choose to realize your manufacturing process in one
-step and do not track the steps the product goes through.
+To create a BoM from the Manufacturing module, go to :menuselection:`Products --> Bills of Materials`. 
+If you click **Create**, the first thing you'll have to do is to specify the final product. 
+For an existing product, simply select it from the list, or create a new one on the spot. Note 
+that if you go through the product form to create your BOM, the product will already be set for you.
 
-Before creating your *BoM*, you have to create the product using the
-*BoM* and, at least, one of the components. Go to the :menuselection:`Master Data menu --> Products`
-and create both the finished product and the component.
+For a standard Bill of Material, keep the default *BoM* type, which is *Manufacture this Product*. 
+Now specify the various components that make up the production of your final product and their 
+respective quantities. You can create components as you go, on the BOM, or create products beforehand,
+by going to the :menuselection:`Top Menu --> Products --> Create`, and add them later on. 
 
-Once done, go to the *Bills of Materials* menu under *Master Data*.
-Now, create it. Choose the product from the dropdown menu and add your
-components and the quantity. In this case, keep the default *BoM*
-type, which is *Manufacture this Product*.

-   The destination location should **not** be a scrap location. A scrap location is where you put
-   products that you don't need.

 Using the same BoM to describe Variants
 ---------------------------------------
 
-As said above, you can use *BoM* for *Product Variants*. It is
-basically the same as for the standard product.
+As suggested above, you can use *BOMs* for specific *Product Variants*. 
+Once the various attributes have been configured on the product form, there 
+are two ways to configure the appropriate BoM for the respective product combination. 
 
-If your *BoM* is for one variant only, then specify which one in the
-*Product Variant* field. If not, specify the variant it is consumed
-for on each component line. You can add several variants for each
-component.
+Either create one BoM per variant, by specifying the Product Variant
+in the dedicated field below the product name. Or use one BOM, that contains
+all of the components and for each component, indicate which variant it applies to, 
+using the *Apply on Variants* column, as shown below.

-Adding a routing
-================
 
-You can add routing to your *BoM*. You will do this if you need to
-define a series of operations required by your manufacturing process. To
-use it, enable the *Work Orders* feature in the *Manufacturing* app
-settings.
+Adding Operations
+=================
+
+You can also add operations to your *BoM*, if you want workers to follow instructions
+or register time spent. To use this feature, enable the *Work Orders* feature in the 
+*Manufacturing* app settings, as shown below.

 .. note::
-         Each *BoM* can have only one routing while each routing can be used
-         multiple times.
+         Each operation is unique as it is always linked to only one BOM. This being said, 
+         Operations Operations can be re-used when configuring a new BOM, with the *Copy Existing 
+         Operations* feature.

-Now that you have created your routing, add it to your *BoM*. You can
-select when, in the work operations, your components are consumed with
-the dropdown menu.
+Finally, just like for components, operations can also be variant specific only, as shown below.

 Adding By-Products
 ==================
 
-In Odoo, a *by-product* is any product produced by a *BoM* in
-addition to the primary product.
+A *by-product* is a product that is produced on top of the main product 
+of a *BoM*. As opposed to the primary product, there can be more than one on a BOM. 
 
-To add *by-products* to a *BoM*, you will first need to enable them
-from the *Manufacturing* app settings.

-Once the feature is enabled, you can add your *By-Products* to your

-produced.
