What the shop made today, and what is waiting where

Each production entry carries the date, machine, work order, operation and quantities: good, scrap and waiting for deburring. The summary page turns these entries into raw material used, finished parts and scrap rate. Downtime is kept in the same place, with its reason.

How it works

  1. 1

    Write the process plan

    You define the order of operations for the part: each operation's name, standard yield (parts per raw piece), cycle time and fixture. You attach the customer drawing and its revision. Once the plan is Active it can be picked in production.

  2. 2

    Enter production

    At the end of the shift or when the job is done, an entry is opened: work order, operation, machine and quantities. If you use the operator screen, the tablet writes this entry itself; no manual entry is needed.

  3. 3

    Record downtime

    If a machine stopped for a breakdown, a tool change or waiting for material, you write the reason and how long it took. You set the reasons to suit your shop and mark the planned ones separately.

  4. 4

    Check the summary

    The summary page filters by date, project, machine and producer. You see how many parts wait at which operation of which project, and where the scrap comes from, without asking anyone.

A process plan: two operations in order, each with its cycle time, yield and fixture; the plan revision and the work orders that use it.

Downtime entries: machine, reason and duration. Loss by reason sits on top; downtime you planned for, like scheduled maintenance, is not counted as loss.

What's included

Operations in sequence

Production cannot be entered for an operation while the previous one has no entry, and its date cannot be earlier. The first operation takes the raw material used; later ones take the parts coming from the previous operation.

Overage shown separately

Quantity beyond the work order target is saved but marked as overage. It does not mix with scrap and appears on its own in the summary.

Lot and revision details

Each entry can carry a production lot number, the drawing revision and the raw material lots used. You can later find which batch came from which material.

Subcontracted production

If another shop made the parts, you select it as the producer. The machine list narrows to that company's machines, and the summary splits by producer too.

Plan revision and status

A process plan moves through Draft, Active and Inactive. The revision number is suggested for you, and a draft plan cannot be picked in production. First article inspection can be flagged on the plan when needed.

Parts waiting for deburring

Parts that need deburring or hand finishing are counted apart from good and scrap. With the Traceability and Stock plan they go to the deburring queue.
