Included In Our Cim50 Works Orders Module
Work In Progress
Allocate and Issue component stock to Works Orders, book processing time to operations and despatch/receive subcontract processes.
Easily check the progress of a Works Order and run detailed WIP Analysis reports.
Shop Floor Documentation
Cim50 includes 4 different shop floor documents by default, all of which are customisable and can be amended to suit your specific needs.
You can also produce in-progress and completion labels to stick on items as they are progressed through the production process.
Capacity Planning
Cim50’s Rough Cut Capacity Planning is a process that identifies resource availability and shortages.
Cim50 allows you to easily keep an eye on your shop floor loading with a powerful enquiry screen, detailing the hours required and used for your labour and machine resources.
Export to excel for data manipulation, which includes loading and availability for each resource, for each working day, in a selected period.
Subcontracting
Take advantage of an advanced subcontracting functionality, which allows you to control all subcontract processes. Raise purchase orders, despatch the goods to your subcontract supplier and receive them back within one easy to use screen.
Amend and confirm the receipt quantities, along with the supplier GRN number and notes you may wish to add against the receipt.
Costing
Cim50 provides simple to read overviews for production costs, and detailed breakdown screens for when you need to understand the makeup of your costs in more depth.
Every works order has an expected cost calculated at the point it is raised, and this expected cost can be refreshed at any point during the production process.
Actual costs are tracked and updated in real-time with reporting versus expected.
One Off Works Orders
If you produce one-off/bespoke items, you can utilise Cim50’s one-off works order functionality, generating a works order for a one-off, non-stocked product.
Allocate components and operational processes to the job and process utilising the same tools available for stocked/repeat works orders.
Carbon Emissions
Utilise the Cim50 Carbon Emissions dashboard to interrogate your emissions over a defined period, showing which works orders and/or machines contributed to your total carbon emissions for a selected period.
Understanding your carbon emissions can enable you to plan for future investment into energy efficient machinery, plant and equipment, along with your vehicle fleet.
You can also offset your emissions with the click of a button, redirecting you to a variety of offset providers who you can sign up with to offset your carbon emissions.
Work To List
The Work To List provides you with a complete overview of the outstanding tasks for each labour and/or machine resource by works order operations start dates.
Enabling you to schedule jobs for maximum efficiency and provide visibility to the shop floor.
Audit Log
With Cim50 Works Orders, the audit log tracks any changes made and by whom, with the option to search for specific amendments.
Export the audit log to Excel for further analysis.
