Appearance

Production Team App ​

Purpose ​

Provide production teams with a live, tablet-friendly view of work required for a selected production date and department.

Scope ​

Production overview, order detail, progress recording, exceptions, and visibility of changed requirements. This is part of the shared responsive web application, not a separate native app.

Actors ​

  • Production operatives
  • Production supervisors
  • Management users

Production requirements, orders, products, departments, Bills of Materials, stock shortages, substitutions, comments, and users.

Business Rules ​

  • PROD-001 — Users must select a production date and department before viewing production requirements.
  • PROD-002 — The system must support partial quantities rather than only complete or incomplete states.
  • PROD-003 — New, amended, or cancelled orders must update affected production requirements.
  • PROD-004 — Changes received after work begins must remain highlighted until acknowledged.

Workflow ​

  1. The user signs in and selects a production date and department.
  2. The app shows consolidated production quantities and individual order requirements.
  3. The user records quantities produced or an exception.
  4. Remaining quantities and management views update from the recorded activity.

Validation ​

Recorded production quantities must be numeric, positive, and must not exceed the permitted outstanding quantity without an explicit authorised override.

Permissions ​

Production users may record activity only for departments and actions permitted by their assigned access.

Audit & History ​

Every production update must record the user, date, time, quantity, related requirement, and any supplied reason or note.

Exceptions & Edge Cases ​

  • Production is partially completed when an order is amended or cancelled.
  • A stock shortage prevents completion.
  • A substitution is proposed or used.
  • Two users update the same requirement concurrently.
  • The server becomes unavailable while an action is submitted.
  • Orders
  • Products and Bills of Materials
  • Stock commitments and consumption
  • Users and permissions
  • Live production dashboard

Open Decisions ​

  • Define amendment and cancellation handling after production starts.
  • Define acknowledgement responsibility for changed requirements.
  • Define permitted overproduction and correction behaviour.
