📍 Tracking Module

Track the real-time progress of every item across all production stages, ensuring full visibility and accountability throughout the manufacturing workflow.

The Tracking Page allows you to:

Monitor item movement through all routing stages

Log labour, workstation, and operation times

Review QC requirements and inspections

View individual item logs (progress, rework, inspections)

Perform bulk production updates

Track final production status per mark

🚨 Before You Can Start Tracking: Phase Must Be Released for Production

To begin any production activity or tracking operations, the system requires that the Phase is officially released for production.

Releasing a phase confirms that:

✔ All items and revisions are complete

✔ Required files and drawings are uploaded

✔ Revision is approved and locked

✔ Routing is ready for execution

✔ Production team is cleared to begin

Without releasing the phase:

❌ Items will NOT appear in Tracking

❌ Bulk Update will be disabled

❌ Single-item progress cannot be updated

❌ No production logs will be recorded

🔓 How to Release a Phase for Production

Go to Projects → Phases

Select the phase

Open the ⋮ options menu

Choose Release for Production

Status updates to Production Enabled: true

After release, the system activates:

Items Tracking

Routing execution

QC workflow

Bulk & single item updates

Shipping readiness

🧭 Tracking Page Overview

The Tracking module is divided into two main tabs for better visibility and control.

1️⃣ Items Tracking

Displays all items within the selected phase with details such as:

Phase

Mark

🔄 Bulk Update

Use this to update multiple items at once:

Operation date/time

Labour assigned

Workstation

Duration

Processed quantity

Ideal for batches of items handled together.

2️⃣ Item Status

This view provides a high-level summary of progress:

Total quantity per mark

Quantity done

Progress percentage

Completion of each production stage

QC needs and completion

Visual progress indicators

Great for supervisors and managers monitoring overall production health.

🛠 Single Item Update

Selecting the update icon opens a detailed update window:

Set operation timestamp

Enter processed quantity

Select labour team

Choose workstation

Add duration

This operation updates only the current required stage for the specific mark.

📘 Item Logs

A complete history of the item, including:

Progress logs

QC inspection logs

Rework actions

Operator details

Timestamps

Stage transitions

Perfect for audits, quality management, and issue tracking.

🔍 Item Details Page

Provides a consolidated view of the item’s production lifecycle:

Production %

Qty in production, yard, outsourced, or shipped

Stage-by-stage metrics

QC status and responses

Outsourcing flags

Each stage includes:

Quantity Available

Quantity Under Inspection

Quantity Done

Rework Count

Whether QC is required

⭐ Best Practices for Effective Tracking

Following these recommendations ensures accurate reporting and smooth production operations:

✔ Release Phases on Time

Always release the phase immediately after revision approval to prevent workflow delays.

✔ Perform Daily Bulk Updates

Use Bulk Update at the end of each shift to ensure all operators’ work is captured.

✔ Update Single Items for Exceptions

If an item receives extra work or rework, use single-item updates to avoid skewing bulk data.

✔ Ensure Routing Is Correct Before Production

Incorrect routing leads to wrong tracking results. Always validate routes before releasing the phase.

✔ Encourage Teams to Log Time Accurately

Accurate timestamps and durations improve productivity analysis and labour utilization reports.

✔ Review Item Logs Frequently

Monitor logs to spot quality issues early and prevent downstream errors.

✔ Monitor Item Status for Bottlenecks

Stages with zero progress or continuous pending QC indicate process or resource bottlenecks.
