Production Tracking

Labor Reporting - Work In Process Tracking - WIP Material Moves

The Production Tracking application enables a company to report all of its production activity to the shop floor control system.  Labor activity, material activity, and  management reporting are addressed by Production Tracking, which can be applied to capture work order costs, process or work group efficiency, and production performance reporting.  Information collected through this module is used  by the M.R.P. module to keep planning priorities in order and by the work order management module to supply up-to-the-minute information to the production scheduler.

Production transactions for labor, material and tools may be generated automatically at standard cost, or collected as actuals or as a combination of both, as required. Manual collection can be turned on for specific areas during a shop tuning process and then turned off again and automatic collection resumed.

Labor Reporting provides for the capture of all types of labor used in production: direct, indirect setup, inspection, rework, downtime, machine, tool and more.  The job routing defines operations and time required to complete a job.  When operations are completed, Labor Reporting is able to report worker and work center efficiency, machine utilization and downtime.

W.I.P. Material Moves provides for complete operation-to-operation material tracking.  It may be operated in fully automatic mode, or queues can be managed manually or the option may be turned off.

W.I.P. Tracking provides various inquiries and reports on work-in-process.
