Shop Floor Process

The process of scheduling production begins with managing the release of orders to the shop floor. Scheduling production involves setting realistic priorities and adjusting schedules based on required dates and actual dates.

The next step is to manage production by controlling work that is in progress on the shop floor. This means that you must track production on the shop floor to update the system. Updating the system entails tracking the status of jobs and obtaining the most up-to-date information about production activity. After a company is setup to monitor the shop floor, the system reports information that is required by various departments.
