Let’s review the three key features that lead to operational excellence:

1.     Streamlined User Interface with Mobile and Tablet Optimization

Manufacturing OPS now features a completely redesigned user interface that is optimized for mobile and tablet use, facilitating access to the system's functionalities at the convenience of the shop floor employees. This mobile-friendly adaptation supports operational flexibility and boosts productivity by enabling real-time access to data and functions essential for day-to-day tasks.

2.     Advanced Shop Floor Operations

Significant updates have been implemented to boost shop floor operations, including:

·       Digital Time Card Entry: Employees can now enter time data digitally, which simplifies the process and enhances the accuracy of records.

·       Real-Time Inventory Consumption: The module provides capabilities for monitoring inventory levels and logging consumption against work orders as it happens, which greatly improves material tracking and cost management.

3.     Enriched Tools for Supervisors

Manufacturing OPS significantly empowers supervisors with tailored tools designed to enhance workforce management and scheduling:

·       Labour Management Review Portal: This portal allows supervisors to review and manage labour metrics effectively, facilitating better workforce planning and management.

"These enhancements are designed to not only simplify the user experience but also streamline shop floor and labour management, significantly reducing lead times and increasing accuracy," explained Ryan Blake, CEO of Discovery Solutions. "With improved inventory and labour tracking and enhanced supervisory controls, we are modernizing the shop floor and improving back office efficiency."
