SOLUTIONS / PRODUCTION VISIBILITY
What is holding up
the next build?
When a production update means walking the floor and asking several people, it is hard to decide what needs attention. Bring material needs, ready work, and step progress into the same conversation.
THE EVERYDAY PROBLEM
“Is it ready?”
should have a useful answer.
A work order can be waiting on material, an earlier operation, or a completion step. Those situations call for different next actions.
- 01
Material uncertainty
Use the assembly definition and supported material views to review what the build needs.
- 02
Unclear handoffs
Use station queues and dependency status to see where work is waiting.
- 03
Scattered progress updates
Use work-in-process views to inspect the SKU, work order, and production step.
BEFORE WORK STARTS
Make the material question concrete.
Connect the planned build to its component requirements. Review availability through the material tools configured for your operation, then involve purchasing or inventory teams where supply needs attention.
ON THE FLOOR
Find the handoff
that needs attention.
A station queue shows the work in front of that part of the process. Ready and waiting statuses help distinguish work that can proceed from work dependent on an earlier step.
ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOW
A finishing step is waiting on preparation.
Review the linked work order and its earlier operation. Confirm the remaining work with that station, then follow the configured process as the item moves forward. Use the work-in-process view to check where the SKU sits afterward.
DURING THE REVIEW
See the work behind
the completion date.
Group work in process by step, SKU, station, or employee. Use available quantity and timing detail to guide the conversation about what is waiting and what needs follow-up.
CAPABILITIES BEHIND THE WORKFLOW
Connect the production questions.
BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS
Make your production handoffs visible.
We can scope the station views, process connections, and reporting needed for your particular build process, alongside existing ORCA capabilities.
LET’S WALK THROUGH IT
Bring a production delay you want to understand.
We’ll trace its materials and process steps and identify where a clearer view would help your team.
