Shop Floor Manager

Intuitive Shop Floor Manager allows customers to “slice and dice” their shop floors with ease. Labor and inventory transactions are consolidated in one convenient place, enabling shop floor supervisors and work center operators to more efficiently manage production.

The Intuitive Shop Floor Manager application consists of a Supervisor Console and a Work Center Console. Together, these two consoles eliminate the need for paperwork to communicate shop schedules, work order instructions and material lists.

Supervisor Console

Easy visibility into all shop floor-related information, as well as real-time production status. Allows users to check material status, release/prioritize work orders, and send notes to the shop floor.

Work Center Console

Online dispatch list of prioritized work orders and all information required for completion. Ability to report labor, issue material and move inventory to finished goods.

Real Time Shop Control

Primary shop floor management functions—setting work order priorities, releasing work orders, issuing material, moving inventory and reporting labor—can all be done from one place. Both the Supervisor Console and Work Center Console support easy, one-click access to comprehensive work order information.

Supervisor Console

Users running “what-if” exercises to view potential impact on material allocation by releasing selected work order orders. Work order release and material issues. Viewing detailed material availability at work order and component level. Viewing full drill-down to component and operation level for all work orders in one click. Accessing the work order “component where-used” feature, allowing users to view every work order in which a component is used.

Work Center Console

Material issues. Manual and automatic “WIP Receipt” function (completions on last operation automatically generate “Move to Inventory” to default location). Viewing work order details, such as materials, operation instructions, work order status, and graphical images by customer, sales order, part no., status, and much more.

Paperless Communication

Benefits

Eliminate the need for work order travelers and material pick lists. Communicate electronic work order instructions, priorities, and material lists between the Supervisor Console and Work Center Console. Attach CAD drawings to work orders, viewable right on the shop floor. Create shop notes visible in the Work Center Console.

Work Order Priority Management

The Supervisor Console sets the priority of work orders to be processed in real time.

Labor Reporting

The Work Center Console provides powerful labor reporting functions, including:
