What are the benefits of the Job Tracking module?

Paperless operations – remove paper-based orders, save work, reduce cost and improve communication
Real-time visibility - overcome ERP systems limitations in tracking work orders progress and provide production with a real-time view of work orders status.
Traceability of all production orders allowing additional data to be recorded like quality checks, materials consumed, lots created etc.

In a manufacturing execution system, the production order is the fundamental record of production. All data captured during the production process – for example, the precise start and stop times of each job - is tied back to the order. The Job & Production Tracking module is the cornerstone of production traceability reporting that can be enhanced with other Lighthouse MES modules:

Production Counting - to obtain real-time production counts and show the progress against the order
Quality Control Management - to record quality results against the order
Inventory Management, Traceability – Consumption, and Build Traceability – to track the materials created and consumed on the order
Production Scheduling - to create and sequence of orders in advance and get the schedule updated with progress as the orders are executed
Labour Tracking - know the labour used, calculate KPIs like productivity
