Shop Floor Production Control — Peacksoft ERP

Real-time dispatch, capacity-aware scheduling, WIP visibility, OEE & quality — all integrated into one cloud platform.

What is Shop Floor Production Control?

Shop floor production control (SFPC) is the ERP capability that turns production plans into executed shop-floor activity — dispatching jobs, collecting execution data, managing WIP, and ensuring planned throughput and quality.

Core Capabilities

  • Job dispatch & execution: create, release and dispatch work orders to work centers and terminals with mobile/handheld support.
  • Capacity-aware scheduling & PPC: sequence jobs considering machine capacity, shifts, calendars and operator skills. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • WIP tracking: track progress at operation level (setup/run hours, yields, scrap, rework).
  • Real-time data collection: barcode/RFID terminals and mobile apps capture start/stop times, quantities and reasons for downtime.
  • OEE & downtime analysis: automatic OEE calculation and root-cause reporting for lost production.
  • Quality & SPC: inline quality checks, hold/inspect flows, and statistical process control integration.
  • Traceability: lot/serial trace from raw material to finished good and reverse tracking for returns.
  • IoT & PLC integration: feed machine telemetry for accurate run-times and predictive alerts (optional integration).

Shop Floor Features — Details

  • Dispatch & Terminal Support: Digital dispatch to shop-floor terminals or mobile apps; operators receive step-by-step operation instructions and confirm quantities/defects.
  • Work Center & Resource Management: Define machine calendars, maintenance windows, setup times, and operator skills — scheduler respects these constraints when sequencing jobs. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
  • Runtime & Downtime Reason Codes: Capture reasons for stoppages and analyze Pareto for focused improvement.
  • Batch & Discrete Handling: Support for both batch (process) and assembly (discrete) manufacturing on the same platform.
  • Quality Integration: Gate-based inspections and hold-release flows ensure non-conforming items are isolated and rework is controlled.
  • Mobile & Barcode Integration: Scan work orders, record production counts, pick lists and issue material via mobile or fixed terminals.
  • Machine Telemetry (IoT): Optional integration to pull machine run hours, cycle times and alarms into ERP for accurate OEE.

Operational Benefits & ROI

  • Better throughput: fewer missed start times and more predictable lead-times.
  • Lower rework & scrap: inline QC and SPC reduce downstream defects.
  • Improved scheduler efficiency: less firefighting with automated capacity-aware sequencing. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
  • Accurate costing: automatic roll-up of material, labor & machine cost to WOs for true margin analysis.
