Build your manufacturing production management.

How to build your manufacturing production management

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Keep work orders, material issues and production holds connected to the correct BOM revision.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the production planner records the work order and how the engineering reviewer reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your manufacturing production management

• Keep the work order in context

  Keep work order, BOM revision, operation, material issue, hold and completion together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A work order references a material revision different from the accepted bill of materials. Keep it on hold for responsible review before recording completion.

• Keep completion visible

  Record the unresolved production hold before treating the operation as complete.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the production planner a working view and the engineering reviewer a review view. Keep work order and BOM revision attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
