Production

Production is where it all comes together. Your software must be able to tell you today's production status, what is going to happen next, and what happened yesterday. The TRAVERSE Manufacturing Production application is up to the test. Online inquiry into existing production orders shows percentage complete based on time and materials and gives you detailed information of the status of each production process.

Once created, production orders can be edited via the visual editor in a drilldown manner for the flexibility many manufacturing environments require. Activity recording can be imported from an external source such as an automated time card or bar code data collection system, or it can be entered manually.

A variety of worksheets can assist you in this process. Each one has a specific focus in terms of what to pull, which operation to run, and where to go next. Special worksheets help expedite subcontracted processes.

Visual tools such as videos and pictures are readily available to assist in the process. A sophisticated dispatch process allows you to set the production sequence to keep things moving smoothly.

Extensive variance reporting enables you to see when, where—and, most importantly—why variances took place in terms of time, usage quantities, and final production.
