Current machine operations

The Current machine operations form only lists the machine operations that are currently in progress. Just as on the Operations form, you can use filters to reduce the selection of the machine operations displayed on this form.

The columns display more information about every machine operation, such as:

Starting a machine operation

You can start a machine operation on the Operations form:

 

In the Times field, enter a valid combination for a machine operation. A valid combination is one for which no labor hours have been specified.

Starting an operation

Select an operation and click this button to start an operation.

 

The Current machine operations form now opens.

Stop operation

Click this button to stop an operation, or to stop and finalize an operation. In the window that displays, you can register quantities and report any failures. Then choose Stop this operation (if the operation will be continued later), or choose Stop and finalize this operation. If you choose the latter, the operation will be removed from the overview in SFC.
