Work order to accepted output ships ready to use. 2 steps need a named approval before the work moves on: Authorize release (Production Planner) and Release accepted output (Quality Reviewer).
Production Planner links the customer order and product to a quantity, production window and resource.
Production Planner releases eligible work after checking demand approval, dates, quantity and station availability.
Production Operator submits a named station assignment with a valid working interval.
Production Operator posts the correct item and lot after work state, units and free stock are checked.
Production Operator records good and scrap output and sends completed production to batch review.
Quality Reviewer accepts eligible output so finished goods are received once and covered work can complete.
Open any work order to see its batches, the roles that work on it, its process stages and its approvals on one page.

Sample totals per stage
Which jobs are released, in progress or awaiting quality review, and how do their planned dates compare?
Which operator intervals share a station or work order and need a scheduling discussion?
What good and scrap quantities did operators report for each job?
Calculate elapsed time from the start and end of each production interval and review it beside the reported unit counts.
Group material issues by item, lot and work order, keeping Draft, Posted and Reversed quantities separate.
How much on-hand quantity is already reserved for each item, lot and location?
Which produced lots still need a decision or remain Held?
Which station reasons account for unresolved events and longer completed interruptions?
Which purchased items still have an outstanding quantity against the supplier order?
See how Shop Floor Control fits your kind of team.
Coordinate customer-backed component runs with machine availability, material lots and accepted finished output.
Keep assembly station assignments, issued components and recorded output tied to the same work order.
Follow material lots into production and keep output disposition visible until accepted stock is received.
Each stage of work order to accepted output names the role that acts and the status it records, so a change is never anonymous.
Each stage, the role that acts and the status it records
Ask an assistant to review floor work and prepare the next action while named owners retain release decisions.
Set up connections through ERP.AI and Proto workflows, with every change logged.
Every record lives in a table you can see, extend and export. Add fields or whole tables in Proto.
Browse all 17 tablesStart with one team and one process, then add the rest once the basics are running.
Choose a product, customer order and normal production resource. Name the planner, operator and quality reviewer who will run the rehearsal. Agree what counts as full accepted scope for the work order.
Link personnel to their user accounts and review item units, customers, suppliers and resources. Confirm how resource availability is maintained before it is used for release.
Load the pilot material by item, location and lot, including reservations. Decide how the issue action selects the exact balance when the same lot exists in several locations.
Approve customer demand, release work, submit an operator assignment and post a material issue. Record good and scrap output, then ask Quality Reviewer to decide the Pending batch.
Test an unapproved order, unavailable resource, conflicting assignment, insufficient free stock and invalid production interval. Repeat an issue and an accepted receipt to check their stock effects are not duplicated.

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Shop Floor Control for your business. Begin with a familiar product, an approved customer order, its production resource and the material lot that will feed the run. Rehearse the full cycle with Production Planner, Production Operator and Quality Reviewer before expanding the floor scope.
Production Planner reviews the approved customer order, positive planned quantity, feasible dates and an Available resource. The release action validates those prerequisites before moving the work from Draft to Released.
An assignment links the operator, work order and station with a start and end. Submission checks the actor, references, interval and station scheduling before accepting the assignment. Agree the personnel identity and shift conventions during setup.
The issue action checks free stock using the selected item's on-hand and reserved position. Production Operator identifies the item, lot, quantity and work order, then confirms the exact stock balance through the agreed issue procedure before posting.
Yes. Production intervals contain separate good and scrap quantities alongside the operator, work order and start and end. The planner can compare that result with the production target before accepted output is reconciled.
Quality Reviewer decides whether eligible output can be accepted. The release action validates the batch state and unreceived output before receiving finished goods. Rehearse that action under the reviewer's account during setup.
Production Operator raises an Andon event with a Material, Equipment, Quality or Safety reason. The event records the station, opening time and eventual resolution. Agree how the validated event affects station readiness and how the responsible people are notified.
Supplier orders include due dates and status, while their lines record ordered and received quantities. Use those values to follow up outstanding material and compare the physical stock position before promising a production start.
Set up a connection or operating handoff from the system that owns the results. Agree how Quality Reviewer finds the correct evidence for a lot and who corrects an identification error before accepted output is released.
Test blocked releases, conflicting assignments, insufficient free stock and invalid production intervals. Repeat a material posting and a finished-goods release to check stock changes only once. Reconcile a partial job and a fully accepted job with the planner and reviewer.
Start free, then use Proto to change fields, steps and approvals before your team goes live.
