What it does
Real-Time Monitoring: Track progress of Work Orders for all CGIC product lines
- Operation-Level Updates: Record completion at each production step (e.g., dough mixing → baking → packaging for Valdana Bread)
- Performance Analytics: Compare planned vs. actual times and quantities
- Automated Alerts: Notify supervisors about delays or quality failures
- Shop Floor Integration: Update statuses via mobile devices or shop floor terminals
Why it matters
- Prevents missed deadlines for high-demand products (e.g., summer surge for Ovita Waters)
- Reduces waste by catching errors early (e.g., incorrect viscosity in Luca Engine Oil blending)
- Provides data to optimize workstation utilization (e.g., oven scheduling for Valdana Bread)
- Ensures consistent quality across batches
Prerequisites
- **Active Work Orders **Created from Production Plans (
Manufacturing > Work Order) - BOMs with operations defined (e.g., “Bottle Filling” for Ovita Waters)
1.0 Access Active Work Orders
- Go to:
Manufacturing > Work Order > List - Apply filters:
- Status: “In Process”
- Item: “Valdana Bread”
- Workstation: “Baking Line 3”
- Key columns:
- WO No. (e.g.,
WO-033) - Planned Qty vs. Produced Qty
- Delay % (red highlight if >10%)
- WO No. (e.g.,
1.1 Update Progress via Job Cards (Shop Floor)
For per-operation tracking (e.g., Ovita Waters filling):- Open Job Card:
- Scan Work Order QR code at workstation
- Or go to
Manufacturing > Job Card > List
- Record Progress:
- Select operation (e.g., “Bottle Filling”)
- Enter Completed Qty (e.g., 4,500/10,000)
- Log downtime/issues in Remarks
- Quality Check:
- Record defects (e.g., “2% underfilled bottles”)
- Attach photos if enabled
- Submit:
- Status auto-updates to “Completed” when qty reached
1.2 Monitor Real-Time Dashboards
- Production Dashboard (
Manufacturing > Dashboard):- Work Order Status Tiles:
- Not Started (Blue) · In Process (Yellow) · Completed (Green) · Stopped (Red)
- Bottleneck Analysis:
- Longest-running operations (e.g., “Valdana Bread Baking: Avg. 45 mins vs. Planned 40 mins”)
- Quality Heatmap:
- Defect rates by workstation (e.g., “Packaging Line 1: 3% damaged tissue packs”)
- Work Order Status Tiles:
- Gantt View:
- Drag/drop Work Orders to reschedule
- Visualize overlaps (e.g., Luca Oil blending vs. Ovita filling)
1.3 Handle Exceptions
- Pause Production:
- In Job Card → Click Hold → Select reason (e.g., “Machine Breakdown”)
- Reroute Work:
- Reassign Work Order to alternate workstation (e.g., move Valdana Bread to Oven 2)
- Short-Closing:
- Mark Work Order as “Completed” early if partially finished (e.g., 8,000/10,000 Ovita Waters)
2.0 CGIC Product Tracking Examples
2.1 Onina Tissue Production
| Operations | Workstation | Status | Completed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pulp Mixing | Mixer 5 | ✅ Completed | 10,000 kg |
| Embossing | Line 2 | 🟡 In Process | 5,000 rolls |
| Packaging | Pack Station 1 | ⚪ Not Started | 0 |
| Delay: Embossing running 20% slow → Alert sent to maintenance |
3.0 Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Job Card not opening | Check Work Order status = “In Process” |
| Completed Qty not updating | Verify “Allow Partial Completion” enabled in Work Order |
| Delay alerts not triggering | Configure thresholds in Manufacturing Settings > Alerts |
