If you rely on a shop floor team for manufacturing, the Shop Floor App and the extra features that come along with the Advanced Manufacturing add-on (such as operations routing and manufacturing insights) help you fully plan out everything needed in manufacturing and empower your team to succeed.
The Advanced Manufacturing add-on unlocks 3 specific needs:
Shop Floor App
A mobile-friendly web-based application used by production teams on the shop floor to help manage tasks.
The Shop Floor App makes it possible to:
Complete shop floor operator task lists
Provide live production status updates from the shop floor
Allow the production team to focus specifically on tasks without needing to access other parts of Katana
Manufacturing insights
Manufacturing insights offer a comprehensive view of production processes to provide data on efficiency, costs, and capacity utilization. This helps you track manufacturing performance, identify bottlenecks, and optimize resource allocation.
The insights are broken up into 3 distinct reports: Cost overview, Ingredients, and Resources.
Production operation routings and types
When dealing with production, it's usually necessary to complete steps in a specific order or even to complete certain tasks simultaneously. The Advanced Manufacturing add-on can add that type of specificity to your shop floor.
With the add-on, you can add more distinction to the types of operations that you create. These different types of operations all utilize different types of calculations to better match the actual tasks being completed and to help you keep better oversight over costs.
The four types of operations available are Process, Setup, Per unit, and Fixed cost.
