ProductMake

The floor, connected to the plan.

Production on the same model as quality, maintenance and planning. Today: job reports, downtime events and KPI records as simple record apps, with issues and maintenance linked to the work center. In development: a finite scheduling board that writes back to Business Central and an operator view with the current job and its work instructions.

Pareto of issues by category, from the floor and quality

In development

Schedule by work center

Drag released production orders across work centers and days, see load against capacity, and write the new dates back to Business Central so planning and promises stay true.

In development

Operators see the job, not the ERP

The operator view shows the current job, its work instructions and drawings, and takes output and scrap with a few taps. Issues raised from the floor link to the order and the machine.

In development

Downtime and daily huddles

Downtime with minutes lost by cause and OEE by work center, and tier 1, 2 and 3 boards so each huddle starts from the same numbers.

With Business Central

CourageMFG reads what it needs live through BC's own APIs and writes back through BC's own validation, as the person doing the work.

Reads from Business Central

  • Released production orders and routings
  • Work centers, machine centers and capacity
