Production — Work Orders, WIP & Shop Floor Control

FOS production covers work order release, operation tracking, material issues, labour reporting, scrap, and completion — connected to planning and inventory. Shop-floor teams record progress against routings without duplicate paperwork.

Yes. Operators start and complete operations at each work centre with quantities good and rejected. Partial completions update WIP so planners see accurate status without waiting for shift-end batch entry.

Material issues follow BOM allocations with backflush or manual issue options. Shortages flag against the work order before operations complete, reducing surprise stock-outs mid-job.

Batch and serial attributes can be captured at issue, production, and dispatch for traceability. This supports auto and quality-intensive industries where genealogy matters for recalls and audits.

Subcontract steps appear on routings with challan and receipt flows. Production views show material at vendor and expected return dates alongside in-house WIP.

FOS runs in browsers on PCs, tablets, and industrial touch screens. No heavy client install — operators log in with role-based screens sized for the plant floor.

Scrap quantities post to orders with reason codes; rework routes can send jobs back to prior operations or quality. Costs flow to order variance reports for continuous improvement tracking.

Supervisors reschedule sequence within work centres and reassign overloads when machines break down or rush orders arrive. Changes reflect immediately on operator queues.

In-process quality failures can block next operations until inspection passes. Dispatch stays blocked for failed final inspection — production and quality share the same order status.

Dashboards highlight output vs plan, WIP ageing, downtime reasons, scrap rates, and order backlog at each work centre. Plant heads use these for daily production meetings.
