Production Overview

Production → Dashboard shows what is being made, what is late, what is short and how loaded the floor is. Every figure opens the orders behind it.

The figures

• Open orders — draft, released, running and held orders.
• Late — open orders past their due date.
• On hold — orders paused on the floor.
• Material shortages — components the open orders still need that you do not have in stock. Shortages are worked out across every open order in due-date order against the stock you hold now, so the order that needs stock first gets it first.
• Work in progress — the value of materials issued plus labour booked, less output received, on open orders.
• Awaiting close — completed orders whose variance has not been posted yet.
• On time, yield and variance (30 days) — how many orders finished by their due date, good output as a share of good plus scrap, and the total cost variance posted.
• Last MRP run — when material planning last ran and how many orders it planned.
