BizAutomation’s Shop Floor Control and WIP Management system allows production managers to track Work-in-Progress (WIP) in real-time across sequential or parallel manufacturing milestones. Our centralized Work Order Cockpit provides total visibility into workstation assignments, ensuring highly efficient, bottleneck-free production cycles.
Relying on paper travelers and disconnected spreadsheets to manage your manufacturing floor leads to costly delays and zero visibility into your actual production status. By utilizing a comprehensive shop floor control system, mid-market manufacturers can move far beyond basic work orders. As raw materials and sub-assemblies move through your facility, every task completion and milestone is instantly recorded in the ERP. This real-time WIP tracking empowers floor managers to optimize task routing, hold technicians accountable, and guarantee that complex, multi-stage production runs stay perfectly on schedule.
Real-time WIP management works by having technicians log their progress and material usage at specific workstations as items move through the production lifecycle. This instantly updates the central ERP, giving management real-time visibility into Work-in-Progress inventory and machine usage.
The system is specifically designed for discrete manufacturing complexities, allowing you to route workflows sequentially (step-by-step) or in parallel (multiple sub-assemblies built simultaneously) before final integration. This flexibility ensures that the Work Order Cockpit reflects the true complexity of your factory floor.
Direct answers on managing WIP and workstation efficiency.
Shop floor control is a system that tracks, schedules, and reports on the progress of manufacturing orders as they move through a facility, providing real-time data on labor, machine usage, and order status.
As items move through the production lifecycle, technicians log their progress and material usage at specific workstations. This instantly updates the central ERP, giving management real-time visibility into Work-in-Progress (WIP) inventory.
The Work Order Cockpit is a centralized, digital dashboard within BizAutomation that gives production managers a holistic, at-a-glance view of all active workstation assignments and task completion statuses across the factory floor.
