Production reports: WIP, standard against actual, centre minutes, scrap, load and on-time delivery
Manufacturing → Reports gives a period's production numbers in one place: work in progress now, standard against actual cost by product, standard against clocked minutes by work centre, scrap by product, the next fortnight's load on each centre, and how many orders finished on time.
Where it is
Settings for this
- Settings → Team → Roles — Dollar figures need View costs
Pick the period with From and To (the last 90 days to start with). Dollar figures show only to people who can view costs; everyone else sees the quantities and minutes.
Work in progress
Every open work order (released or in progress): what has gone into it so far (materials issued, labour, overhead, machine time and outside work, the same as the order's cost panel), less what has come out as finished stock. The total is your WIP valuation for month end.
Standard against actual
Orders finished in the period, by product: the standard (the unit cost frozen when each order was released, times what was made) against what they actually cost. Over standard shows red. A product with no standard says so.
Work centres
For steps on orders finished in the period: the standard minutes against the minutes clocked, and machine minutes. A centre running more than 15 % over shows red: check its sell rate and cut speeds on Quoting rates.
Load, next 14 days
For each work centre: hours of work-order steps scheduled in the next 14 days and not yet done, against capacity (8 hours a weekday for each machine in the centre's capacity), plus open steps not scheduled yet. Over 85 % turns amber, over 100 % red.
Scrap and on-time delivery
Scrap by product from the output recorded in the period (reversed output is left out). On time counts orders finished in the period that had a due date, and lists the late ones with how many days late.
