Timer On Kanban Card In Shop Floor

Accurate tracking of production time is crucial for managing manufacturing efficiency and monitoring employee productivity. The Timer on Kanban Card in Shop Floor feature enhances Odoo’s Shop Floor module by automatically starting the work order timer when an operator clicks on any part of the work order card or a step within the kanban view.

This feature simplifies the process of recording production time by eliminating the need for manual input. As soon as the operator clicks on the work order or any associated box or step, the system automatically starts the timer, capturing the actual production time spent on that work order. This real-time time tracking improves the accuracy of recorded data, reduces manual errors, and helps businesses maintain precise production records.

By enabling this feature, businesses can streamline their shop floor operations and gain better insights into work order performance, which can be used for analyzing production efficiency and making data-driven decisions to optimize operations.
