Manufacturing
Object: Production orderAll industries
The production order is where the operation becomes real.
Materials, people, machines, quality, time, documents, and cost all meet in the work that has to be completed.
Production orderIt has a lifecycle, a required output, a cost, a location, assigned people, supporting documents, and a terminal state.
The systems
ERP and MRP hold plans and transactions. Quality has its own records. Shop-floor reality, supplier issues, documents, and exceptions appear elsewhere.
The context
The order moves forward while its context fragments.
The materials, the cost, and the schedule resolve to the same order.
