Shop Floor Control (SFC) is a software system of methods and tools that are used to track, schedule and report on the progress of work in a manufacturing plant. Shop Floor Control systems generally evaluate the portion of an order or operation that has been completed. That percentage of work in process is useful for resource planning, inventory evaluations and supervisor and operator productivity on a shop floor. Shop Floor Control systems typically evaluate materials status, machine usage, labor and other resources to report on work in process. They also enable the accurate management of activities, resources and work flows inside the plant. This type of data can be very useful to manufacturing owners and supervisors for improving overall shop floor operations, particularly with an interactive, real-time Shop Floor Control system.
The solution is implemented on more than 50 companies from Fortune 500.
