Excel carries a work order while one person keeps it. When two stations open the same file, one person’s edit disappears and production tracking breaks there. Production tracking software is set up to keep a station record, not another copy of the file. Ayyıldızsoft does not say “Excel is not enough” before seeing the file.
The break usually sits in three places: the work order is duplicated, the scrap row is forgotten, finished quantity and shipped quantity are not split. If the item card lives in ERP, the code stays the same. If machine data is a separate need, that is custom software.
Signs in the file
- Two versions of the same work order are circulating
- Scrap is written by hand in a junk box
- A row stays half done at shift change
- The barcode is pasted in a column outside the table
If a single operator and a single bench do not live this list, a heavy system is not required. If the list happens every day, a screen replaces the file. Related: stock count before ERP.
Workplace visits are by appointment. Offices and quotes are in the Konya software company guide.
- Collect the last week of work-order files in one place
- Mark rows that were written twice
- Put scrap in its own column, not inside a note
- Write how many stations enter data at the same time
