Production Planning and Control: Replacing paper production orders
Small and medium manufacturers struggle to control the shop floor. Jestor replaces the printed "Production Order (PO)" with tablets or screens at workstations, allowing real-time visibility of what is being produced, what is late, and how much raw material was consumed.
Where is the client's order?
Sales asks: "Is order 500 ready?" Production answers: "I have to go down to the factory to check." This is inefficient. With Jestor, the factory logs status digitally. Sales sees on screen: "Order 500 - Painting Phase - 80% Complete."
Structuring Production in Jestor
- Bill of Materials (BOM): An order for "1 Chair" automatically generates the need for "4 Legs, 1 Seat, 8 Screws."
- Production Queue: A Kanban shows the operator what they must do today.
- Logging: The operator clicks "Start" and "Finish." The system calculates machine time and labor cost.
