Works orders & production control

Managing works orders

See at-a-glance which works orders are awaiting components and decide whether to re-allocate from other jobs or use alternative components to ensure orders aren't held up. Instantly create back-to-back orders where you have shortages, subject to full purchase order authorisation. Pinpoint stock by location or batch and allocate serial numbers for traceability. Reversals are handled with ease so your shop floor and accounts are kept tidy and accurate.

Production control

Every order is assigned a priority to ensure your best customers are satisfied first and rush job deadlines are met. Factory routing follows your pre-defined rules, giving you excellent visibility of progress and early warning of bottlenecks. Estimates are created automatically and tightly tracked against actual cost of labour and materials as the job progresses. Run profitability reports at any time to see where process improvement or pricing negotiations are required.

Scheduling & sequencing of jobs

Use the "work to list" feature to show the list of jobs that need processing at a particular work centre/station or to view several areas of the factory. You can re-sequence and move operations either as a list or by using the graphical planner, which shows a visual planning board of your jobs and allows you to move them around on screen. When you're happy with the new production plan, you can either go live or abandon it if you don't want to commit your changes
