It works, but is not actively maintained.  It's a little tricky to get  
set up, but the build agent takes care of all the really hard stuff.

Not a lot of people need use it.  It's pretty powerful, but requires  
some detailed setup.

It's about as stable as the rest of pERP.  We do not use workflow  
based manufacturing in production yet, it's in testing right now.

It's based on / uses the galaxia workflow engine, so the little  
information you can find on galaxia is mostly applicable.  It looks  
like things are clearing up for me, so I'll try and put some  
instructions up in the next month or so.

Basically, you build a workflow process to match your actual  
manufacturing process.  For each workflow activity that uses  
inventory, use a build agent to pull the inventory based on the bill  
of materials.  That's vague, I know.
