Overview
In order to minimize cross-contamination, maximize equipment efficiency, or enhance product quality, arranging production orders in a specific way can be highly beneficial.
You may want to sequence orders based on color, allergens, or components. For example, in a bakery, producing gluten-free bread before regular bread prevents gluten contamination. Similarly, in a plastics manufacturing plant, producing items that use the same type of resin consecutively minimizes waste associated with purging machines when switching between materials.
If your company manages manufacturing activities with these types of constraints, then the Production Sequencing app will be highly useful.
The Production Sequencing app allows you to manually arrange production orders or automatically arrange them by start date and time, production order number, or sequence code. The sequence code provides the flexibility to arrange production orders based on your requirements. By assigning sequence codes to items, you can reorganize related production orders accordingly.
