Jobs at risk of shipping late
| Job | Ships | Work center | Slack* |
|---|---|---|---|
| WO-1061 | Nov 23 | CNC-2 | −0.5 d |
| WO-1049 | Nov 20 | CNC-2 | −0.4 d |
| WO-1066 | Nov 24 | CNC-2 | −0.3 d |
Load · jobs shipping by Nov 23 vs. next 5 working days
- CNC-288/80 h · 110%
- Deburr40/40 h · 100%
- CNC-124/80 h · 30%
- Saw6/40 h · 15%
Line = 100% of available hours. *Current-operation slack: queue and hours at the next work center only; excludes downstream operations, material and shipping time. Under 0.5 d is flagged as at risk.
Your ERP lists jobs one by one. The queue is where they get late.
A due-date report shows each job on its own. The exception report orders the work waiting at each work center by due date and checks whether there are enough hours to finish it in time.
FROM THE EXAMPLE REPORT
WO-1061 looks safe on its own (18 h left, 5 working days to ship) but sits behind 70 h of earlier-due work at CNC-2.
