written for Production manager
This journey starts where sales ends. It assumes somebody has already
approved an order, and takes you to the point where a cut, labelled piece
is moving through your workshop.
Before you start
- An approved sales order with window lines
- The Production app installed
By the end you will be able to
- Launch production from an approved order
- Read a cutting list the way the saw operator reads it
- Cut with measured, defensible waste
- Label pieces so nothing gets remade
- See where every job stands without leaving your desk
