Production management software: work orders the shop floor can actually follow.

Most plants still run on a printed work order and a whiteboard. By the time someone types up the shift's output, the numbers are a day old and the scrap has been forgotten. Brandhubify ERP puts the work order on the operator's phone, so output, scrap and downtime are recorded where they happen.

The problem

Why production numbers are always a day late

Output lives on paper

Shift counts are written on a sheet and typed in tomorrow — if anyone gets to it.

Scrap goes unrecorded

Rejects are binned, not logged, so yield looks better on paper than it is on the floor.

Downtime has no reason

A press stopped for 40 minutes. Changeover, breakdown or a missing part? Nobody can say a week later.

Maintenance waits for a breakdown

Preventive jobs slip because they live in someone's calendar, not in the production plan.

How it works6 steps

From released work order to finished goods

  1. 1

    Release the work order

    Quantity and due date, with the BOM and routing attached.

  2. 2

    Schedule it to a line

    Sequence against due dates and the machines that can run it.

  3. 3

    Issue material

    Pick components to the job and see actual use against the BOM.

  4. 4

    Run and capture

    Operators log start, stop, good quantity, scrap and stop reasons.

  5. 5

    Receive finished goods

    Book output into stock and put it away.

  6. 6

    Close and review

    Yield, OEE and variance flow to costing.

What's in it8 capabilities

Work order and shop-floor tools for every job on the floor

Work orders

Release a quantity of an item to make, with its BOM and routing attached.

Production scheduling

Sequence work orders across lines and machines.

Material issue

Issue components to a work order and see what was actually used.

Finished goods receipt

Book output into stock and put it away.

Scrap, rework & yield

Record losses and rework so yield is a number, not a guess.

Shop-floor capture

Operators log start, stop and quantities from a phone or a mounted tablet.

OEE & downtime

Availability, performance and quality per machine, with downtime reasons.

Plant maintenance

Preventive and breakdown maintenance for every machine.

In numbers

Worked example: OEE for one press, one shift

Illustrative numbers. The biggest loss here is availability — the 48 minutes of downtime — so that is where to look first.

Planned production time480 min
Downtime (changeover + jam)48 min → availability 90.0%
Ideal output in 432 run minutes432 parts (1 per minute)
Actual output410 parts → performance 94.9%
Good parts402 of 410 → quality 98.0%
OEE90.0% × 94.9% × 98.0% ≈ 83.7%
Who it's for

Who uses it on the floor

Machine operator

Logs output and stops from a phone. No sheet to fill in at the end of the shift.

Production supervisor

Sees every line's progress, and the reason behind every stop, during the shift.

Plant head

Gets OEE and yield by machine without waiting for a weekly report.

FAQ

Production in Brandhubify ERP: common questions

What is production management software?

Production management software releases work orders, schedules them across lines and machines, issues material, and records output, scrap and downtime — so you can see what was made, what it used and where time was lost.

What is OEE and how is it calculated?

OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) is availability × performance × quality. A machine that runs 90% of planned time, at 95% of ideal speed, with 98% good parts has an OEE of about 84%.

Can operators record production from a phone?

Yes. In Brandhubify ERP, operators log start, stop, quantities and scrap from a phone or a mounted tablet, and supervisors see it during the shift.

Do we need machine sensors to start tracking production?

No. Brandhubify ERP starts with capture from a phone or tablet — the quickest way to get real numbers from the floor. Connecting machines directly is an option, not a starting requirement.
