1. Using SHOPFLOOR to PLAN and EXECUTE PAPERLESS
The SHOPFLOOR solution is the production planners playground for sequencing and prioritizing the execution of production orders, and subsequent the tool for the shop floor operators, to carry out the planned jobs.
The SHOPFLOOR solution facilitates paperless execution with extensive job data collection capabilities, but also supports time and attendance operations, advanced quality assurance, and lot and serial number management.
This short introduction to SHOPFLOOR will take you through 2 parts of the system - a planning part and an execution part.
We start off in the planning part.
Click on link SHOPFLOOR - Planning

2. Using SHOPFLOOR to PLAN and EXECUTE PAPERLESS
Here you see a list of all defined production resources, or planning points - machines, work centers, people, and work center groups, as defined in standard NAV.
For example click on the work center 100, to work with the detailed planning on this work center.

3. Using SHOPFLOOR to PLAN and EXECUTE PAPERLESS
Before doing anything, please notice that this display for a work center, an operator or a machine, or even factory total, consists of 3 sections - running orders, orders ready here, and orders coming here later.
This approach is similar to everyday situations, where waiting lines or queues occur.
Think about checking in at the airport. Some people are being served at the check-in desk. This is the same as running orders, others are queuing up in the waiting line to the check-in desk. This is the same as ready here, and others again are still on their way to the airport, heading for the same flight. This is the same as orders coming here.
