The Packaging Dashboard is for customers who use OFS for two jobs at once - where a job is packed while another is made.
For a long time, OFS has been able to simultaneously count two jobs - one being made, while another is being packed. This is useful for factory processes that have a long lag time, like baking bread, firing pottery, or production where the product needs to be frozen.
With the OFS Packaging Dashboard, operators at the "back-end" of these processes can see how production has tracked, and how many units they have produced which are due to be packed. Visibility is offered over the Order Quantity, Number of Units Produced and Total Packed.
This interface is an opt-in interface that will be offered to customers who are using manual finalisation today.
Finalising Counts on the Packaging Dashboard
Step 1 - Use the ‘Finished’ button to finalise counts once Job A is complete and all products have been packed.
Note: See any upcoming jobs at the bottom of the screen.
Step 2 - Confirm that packing has been finished, then click ‘Finalise’
