Show Client On Shop Floor

Understanding the customer behind each production order is essential for manufacturing teams to prioritize and fulfill orders accurately. The Show Customer on Shop Floor feature enhances the visibility of customer information by adding two key functionalities:

1. Customer Name on MO List View: This feature adds a new column in the Manufacturing Order list view, displaying the customer name directly in the list. This allows production managers to easily see which customers are associated with specific manufacturing orders, improving the ability to prioritize and manage orders efficiently.
2. Customer Name on Work Order Tiles: This functionality displays the customer name directly on the Work Order tiles in the Shop Floor interface. This provides operators on the shop floor with clear information about the customer tied to each work order, ensuring that the correct production is carried out according to customer specifications and deadlines.

By introducing customer visibility at both the MO list view and the Work Order level, this feature helps streamline operations and ensures that customer-specific production details are available to all relevant team members, from production managers to shop floor operators.

Key Benefits:

1. Improved Customer Focus: Allows production teams to easily see which customers are associated with each manufacturing or work order, ensuring that customer requirements are met.
2. Enhanced Visibility: Displays the customer name in both the Manufacturing Order list view and on the Shop Floor Work Order tiles, providing visibility to both managers and operators.
3. Better Order Prioritization: Enables production managers and operators to prioritize manufacturing and work orders based on customer importance or specific deadlines.
4. Streamlined Workflow: Reduces the need to manually search for customer information, making the workflow more efficient and error-free.

Example Use Case:

In a custom furniture manufacturing company, operators on the shop floor are working on various work orders for different customers. With the Show Customer on Shop Floor feature, they can now see the customer name directly on the Work Order tiles in the Shop Floor interface. This ensures that each operator knows exactly which customer they are producing for, helping to prioritize urgent orders and meet customer-specific requirements without any confusion.

Conclusion:

The Show Customer on Shop Floor feature provides a simple yet powerful improvement to the manufacturing process by enhancing visibility into customer-related production. By displaying the customer name on both the MO list view and the Work Order tiles, this feature ensures that production teams are always aware of the customer behind each order, enabling them to manage and prioritize orders more effectively and efficiently.
