Floor view

The Floor view is a board for the shop floor. It shows the jobs queued and in progress on each line, so supervisors and operators know what to run next.

Reading the board​

  • Columns or lanes represent work centers and their production lines.
  • Each card is an operation: the item, the production order, the quantity and its current progress.
  • Cards are shown in run order. The top card in a lane is the next job up.
  • Progress labels show whether a job is not started, running, paused or finished.

Common tasks​

  • Change the run order: drag a card up or down within its lane.
  • Move a job to another line: drag the card across to a different lane in the same work center.
  • Check what is next: look at the cards below the running job in each lane.

Every move is saved to Business Central as soon as you drop the card.

Keeping the board accurate​

The board is only as current as the progress operators record. Make sure each job is started, paused and finished as it happens; see Recording progress below.
