Stop asking about production status. One look at the screen tells you everything.

Summary

This system puts the four things managers care about most project status, machine location, BOM structure, and WIP progress all in one place. Open the page. Seven projects show whether they are in progress or planned. Ten machines from 3D printers to mills are all tracked. Four BOMs break down exactly what every product is made of. Three WIP jobs leave traces at every operation. Managers stop chasing people, stop walking to the shop floor. Every piece of data speaks for the production line.

Machines running. Workers busy. Orders in progress.

But if you need to know: Which operation is this batch at? Is that machine still running? Is the BOM correct? How much WIP is sitting on the floor?

You probably dig through spreadsheets, make a few calls, walk to the shop floor and check yourself.

This system breaks production into four pieces. Every piece is right in front of you.

All Projects, One List

Open the page. At the top, seven projects total. Three in progress, two planned, one completed, one on hold.

Scroll down to the project list. Every project shows its status, start time, end time, how many production orders under it. All in one row. Search by name if you need to find one.
No more asking where a project stands. One look and you know.

Every Machine, Tracked

This is the BOM page. Four BOM records: hydraulic valve, motor assembly, circuit board, widget assembly.
Every row tells you what the product is made of, how many levels, cost, value, revision, compliance status. In design or in production, clear at a glance.
Why can't you fulfill an order? Check the BOM and see if a part is missing.

WIP, Every Step Traced

This is the WIP report. Three jobs at milling, cutting, assembly. Which work center, W08, W09, W10. When they entered. All clear.
Click into one job. See the operation breakdown: bending, cutting, welding. Every operation shows hours used, cumulative days, completion status. Welding not finished, marked right in the table.
Which operation is stuck? Who is working on what? How much longer? No need to walk to the floor and ask.

Production Management Can Be This Clear

Most people manage production by chasing people, walking around, guessing from experience.

This system puts four pieces together: project status, machine location, BOM structure, WIP progress. Every piece connects. Every piece answers a key question:
Where is this project? Is that machine still running? What is this product made of? Which operation is that batch at?
No asking. One look and you know.
