Shop Floor Control ERP Module

Closed-Loop Feedback

The final phase in the closed-loop process is the tracking and feedback of actual shop floor activity. The successful execution of your master production schedule and material requirements planning depends on rapid and accurate dispatch of daily production schedules. Shop Floor Control is designed to integrate these tasks fully.

Work-in-Process Visibility

Shop Floor Control provides shop personnel with a set of easy-to-use transactions for reporting work order operation completions and quantities of items produced. Shop status provides the added visibility necessary to stay on top of the current work-in-process.

Shop Floor Empowerment

Shop Floor Control gives you the tools you need to tailor the detail schedules and workflows to best match the people and machines available at each work center. This helps you optimize schedules and anticipate needs for critical resources, as well as helps the people on the factory floor actively contribute to the success of your production plan.

Move Ticket Reporting

Move tickets provide an easy method for reporting shop floor progress when separate shop floor documents are needed for tracking physical movement from one work center to the next.

On-Screen Dispatching

On-screen dispatching inquiries and reports provide factory supervisors with the information they need to control the production floor. This up-to-the-minute input provides a powerful tool for monitoring currently scheduled operations, work center loading and priority sequencing. It also provides the visibility into what needs to be completed in order to ensure a smooth and coordinated production flow.
