Work Order Processing

Orchestrating Production
With customers demanding ever more customized and personalized products, manufacturing execution in many industries has evolved from a make-to-stock production environment to much more of a massive job shop – where the controlling element is more work orders than production schedules. This requires a new set of controls to precisely direct work while providing operational agility, efficiency and visibility.
