When work orders live in spreadsheets, shop-floor notes and chat messages, a production supervisor may have to call several people to find out whether a job is ready. A shared job tracker gives teams one place to check status and record exceptions.
Map one production line first
Follow a work order from release through material issue, production, quality checks and dispatch. At each stage, define who updates the record and what must be captured. Include partial quantities, rework and material shortages so the tracker reflects real production.
Design for use on the shop floor
Keep operator updates simple and give supervisors a view of blocked jobs. Use role-based access for production and quality approvals. If an ERP already owns inventory, use its item and order identifiers when integrating the tracker.
What to check before expanding
Run a pilot on one line and review how quickly staff spot blocked jobs, how complete the records are and whether dispatch can verify readiness without calling production.
