Discrete Manufacturing

• Maintain the routing manually or download it from the ERP
• Enable production order tracking through each manufacturing operation
• Record the start and end of production runs
• Optionally scan bar-codes at each operation to speed up data capture

Batch Manufacturing

• Enable production order tracking for each batch process
• Record the start and end of production runs

Record Production Orders Data

• Record sign offs at each stage of production
• Capture planned quantity, actual quantity, start & end time and duration

Upload to ERP

• Confirm completed operations to ERP

Production Execution Dashboards

• Track the progress of production orders throughout the factory
• Provide full history of each production order

• Paperless operations – remove paper-based orders, save work, reduce cost and improve communication
• Real-time visibility - overcome ERP systems limitations in tracking work orders progress and provide production with a real-time view of work orders status.
• Traceability of all production orders allowing additional data to be recorded like quality checks, materials consumed, lots created etc.

In a manufacturing execution system, the production order is the fundamental record of production. All data captured during the production process – for example, the precise start and stop times of each job - is tied back to the order. The Job Tracking module is the cornerstone of production traceability reporting that can be enhanced with other Shopfloor-Online MES modules:

• Production Counting - to obtain real-time production counts and show the progress against the order
• Quality - to record quality results against the order
• Inventory, Traceability – Consumption, and Build Traceability – to track the materials created and consumed on the order
• Scheduling - to create and sequence of orders in advance and get the schedule updated with progress as the orders are executed
• Labour - know the labour used, calculate KPIs like productivity
