Job Cards
One operation of one production order, as a card the operator works on.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
A job card is created for each operation when the order is released. It follows the routing: an operation cannot start until the operations that must come before it are finished, unless the earlier one has already produced something and overlap is allowed. Operators start, pause, resume and finish the card, log time, and report good, rejected, scrap and rework quantities in steps. Reporting is idempotent, so a repeated report from a tablet is not counted twice.
The card can backflush the materials the operation uses, so stock is consumed as work is reported.
When to use job cards
- You follow the progress of one operation.
- A supervisor checks time and output by operation.
