Statuses of a production order
When a production order is created, it has the status IDLE. Then the production order goes through a number of statuses until it reaches the status COMPLETED. The following statuses are possible on a production order and its underlying operations:
| Status | Explanation |
|---|---|
| IDLE | No operation is assigned to a machine |
| PLANNED |
An operation is assigned to a machine. Orders coming via an ERP interface get this status by default. |
| ALLOCATING | The system is allocating the necessary items. This status can be seen by a supervisor when another supervisor is allocating. (module Warehouse Management Engine required) |
| ALLOCATED | The needed items are allocated. (module Warehouse Management Engine required) |
| RELEASED | The operation is released and can be seen by the operator on the resource view. As soon as a production order is released (production orders can be released automatically or manually (via a user-friendly wizard) in Objective, a job is created for each operation. A job is the execution of an operation on a resource. |
| ACTIVE | The operator started the operation on a machine or work center. |
| HELD | The operation is held with a specific interrupt reason. |
| STOPPED | The operation is stopped and is no longer planned on a machine. This also means that this operation has been active. The supervisor can plan the operation again. |
| ABORTED |
The operation is aborted. No registration on the operation can take place anymore. If an ERP system forwards a delete of a production order, Objective will set the order to ABORTED status. |
| COMPLETED | The operation is completed. No registration on the operation can take place anymore. |
In resource view, the operator can interact with the production process, including among others:
- The registration of failures and interruptions.
- Perform checks (instructions) and enter results.
Depending on the status of the production order, the operation will be shown as a job in the tabs below:
