1. Start the manufacturing of a stool
James • Workshop Manager
Hello, we are going to start the manufacturing of a stool. Could you take the tablet and open the Shop Floor app?
Select the assembly line to view the 2 work orders ready to be started.
You
Ok, I'll do that!
2. Follow the steps of the manufacturing process

Don't forget, when you have to generate a new serial number, use the function 
.
When you have completed all the steps of the first stool, you can mark as done and close production.
3. Handle a maintenance request
James • Workshop Manager
We have a problem! Our caliper seems to be broken.
You
Indeed, I'm not able to take any measures.
It's impossible for me to start the production of the second stool.
Via the menu 
,
I create a maintenance request
for the equipment caliper, type corrective.
After that, I have to stop the production.
Via the menu, I block the work center by specifying the reason, and describing the problem.
Did you know?
Why do you need quality control?
You don't want to sell unstable stools! Quality controls ensure that products meet the standards set by the company. If a quality control fails, you can block the work center until the problem is solved. Or, you can decide that the problem is not blocking and create a quality alert. This alert will allow the problem to be addressed later.
Why create a serial number for the finished product?
A serial number is a unique identifier that contains all the information about the product's life cycle, from the origin of its components to its manufacturing and final destination. It allows for traceability.
Why take a picture of the stool?
Each final picture is unique and allows to prove that the product has been correctly assembled.
