What this does

Delivers comprehensive flow analytics on work order cycle duration, queue waiting times, and station throughput rates across the factory.

Before you start

  • Work order timestamps logged across stations.

Steps

Work orders performance graph displaying completed vs active operations by department

Work orders pivot matrix analyzing average operation cycle times across work centers

Work orders reporting audit list view

Important

Monitoring work order queue times reveals whether delays are caused by slow machine cycle times or parts waiting for quality inspection sign-off.

  1. 01
    Go to Production › Reporting › Work Orders.
  2. 02
    Review the bar chart showing active work order volumes across each fabrication department.
  3. 03
    Switch to the Pivot view to calculate average cycle hours required to fabricate complete window units.
  4. 04
    Identify stations with growing backlog queues to temporarily reallocate cross-trained operators.

Common mistakes

  • Allowing work orders to remain in 'In Progress' state after physical fabrication has moved downstream.
  • Ignoring rising queue times at final packaging stations.
