Promise dates the work centres have capacity for

What this module does

A planner promises a customer a date the work centres cannot hit. The planner is reading a planning sheet from Wednesday, the shop floor is on Friday's actual output, and the gap between them is a week of overtime. Production Load charts load against available capacity across eight months. The planner moves one project's start and books a date the shop hits on first try.

Key pages

Production carries an order from planning through finished output. One button drives each operation through planned, in-progress and finished, with every pause and transition stamped. An operator sees only the operations ready to start: predecessor finished, not on hold. Planners read load against capacity months out and reschedule while there is still room to move. Project Managers read progress per resource and a trace list that ties every posted operation back to its production order.

Operators read their next job off the queue. The planner ends a stand-up by pointing at it: “this is what is starting today, this is what we are short on.” When a customer asks where an order is, the answer comes from the same screen the operator is working from. When the shop is one operator down for a week, the load view shows what slips and by how much.
