Introduction

Shop Floor Control (SFC) in Exact Synergy Enterprise fully utilizes data from the shop floor to communicate production statuses to relevant people, such as the master schedule planners, managers, or shop floor operators. This ability to gain real-time visibility into the progress of the job operations supports planners in balancing and prioritizing work based on the capacity available. With this, the planners and managers would also be well-prepared to address matters related to quality, resources, or changes to requirements.

With SFC, the shop floor controllers can:

• retrieve up-to-date information on the operations from Exact Globe Next and view them in Exact Synergy Enterprise, and
• perform SFC-related activities, such as registering the operations, issuing materials, and updating operation status in Exact Synergy Enterprise.
