Job Planning is a key part of your production process including key milestones such as creating the quote, entering the sales order, verifying the accuracy of the router, the bill of materials, material availability, notifying purchasing of shortages, checking production schedules for resource availability and more. Typical manufacturing capacity planning software handles production well, but often lacks an efficient communication system between work groups and departments. With JobOps job shop tracking software and the MAS 90 or MAS 200 Business Alerts Module, communications between your different work groups can be automated.

JobOps tracks status changes to the work tickets. When a status change is detected by the Business Alerts module, it automatically sends and e-mail to the next person in line responsible for the job. In other words, as soon as the sales order is entered, Production Control is immediately notified that they can begin checking the order before the job is released for work.

In addition, JobOps also allows you to track the impact on job costs that result from necessary Production Control changes. The estimated job costs from materials, labor and services that were entered either as a quote or a sales order can be tracked against the revisions made by production control. When work on the job begins, the actual costs are tracked separately from the original estimates and the revised estimates.
