Shop Floor & Kanban
📷 Screenshot spot — capture this screen and save it as static/img/screenshots/production-shop-floor.png, then replace this whole box with the single line:
Shop Floor — the stopwatch board
Where: Production → Shop Floor Logs.
A board of operation tiles for people actually building panels. Each tile shows the operation, its job and product, a live HH:MM:SS counter, and "logged Xh / est Yh".
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Start | Sets the operation In Progress and starts a timer. If the job was still Planned/Material Issued, the job itself moves to In Progress. |
| Pause & log | Banks the elapsed time — hours are added to the operation's total. The timer stops; the operation stays In Progress. |
| Finish | Banks the elapsed time and marks the operation Completed. |
Running timers are stored in the browser on that machine — they survive a page reload, but they aren't shared across devices or users, and clearing site data loses a running timer. Nothing reaches the server until you Pause or Finish. Also: the timer measures wall-clock time, so a timer left running overnight books those hours.
Production Kanban — the stage board
Where: Production → Kanban.
Four columns — Planned, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled — where every job appears exactly once. Cards show the job number, status, quantity and due date, with a single guided "next step" button:
| Job status | Button offered |
|---|---|
| Planned / Material Issued | Start |
| In Progress | → Assembly |
| Assembly | → Wiring |
| Wiring | → Testing |
| Testing | Run QC (takes you to the Quality Checklist) |
| QC Failed | Rework (back to In Progress) |
| QC Passed / Ready for Dispatch | Dispatch (takes you to Dispatch) |
There is no drag-and-drop — the buttons keep everyone moving forward through the same sequence. If a status genuinely needs correcting backwards, use the inline status dropdown on the Jobs list.
From Testing, the only way forward is Run QC. That's deliberate — nothing reaches dispatch without a QC record.
