The typical roles required to manage production orders are:
1. Administrative Production Manager
Someone who works in an office and has to peace of mind to meticulously create and review production orders. This person will probably create and maintain Production Templates (updating them from time to time with refinements). It is also the task of the production manager to create or review new production orders and activate them for processing.
The production manager also needs to monitor process on production steps and when production is complete, review the steps and order and make any adjustments to the costing, templates or steps.
2. Stock Controller
The stock controller is mostly concerned with ensuring that accurate production input and output is committed and that finished goods are transferred to the correct locations and dispatched to customers. The stock controller needs to review production orders to ensure that production input and output are correctly processed if they are not doing it themselves (eg. the production manager).
3. Manufacturing Floor Operators
Operators on the factory floor will be processing production steps and logging their progress. They require one or more terminals in order to do this.
