Stock Holds in Production
Held stock stays out of production
Put stock on hold and Flōware won't let anyone build with it. Your planner sees held material on the production order before the run starts.
Quarantined stock can't slip into a batch
A hold on the shelf now holds on the production floor too. Nobody has to remember which pallets are frozen.
- Nothing is built from held stock
- Record production against held material and Flōware refuses it. Nothing is used up until the hold is lifted.
- See held material before you build
- Each held component shows its hold and how much is held, right on the production order.
- Plan a run only on stock you can use
- When you plan a run, the check for enough material counts only stock you can use. A run is never planned on frozen stock.
- See every order waiting on held stock
- A tile on the production dashboard counts the orders waiting on a hold. One click opens them.
Your planner sees held stock before recording production
This is the order your planner sees when stock it needs is on hold. Flōware says so before anyone records production.
- Finished goods can't be booked into held stock
- Recording production into held stock is refused. Nothing is used up, and the warning says why.
- See frozen material before you start
- A held component is marked Quarantine, with how much is held. Your planner sees it before the run.
- Lift the hold, then carry on
- The warning links straight to the hold. When the stock is cleared, lift the hold and record production again.
What stops happening on the floor
Flōware checks every hold when a run is planned and again when production is recorded.
- Holds that live in someone's head or on a sign on the pallet
- Quarantined material built into finished goods by mistake
- Planning a run on stock that turns out to be frozen
- Finding out about a held batch after it's in the product
For manufacturers who quarantine incoming material until it passes inspection, most of all where batches can be recalled, such as food, chemicals and cosmetics.
