Graphical schedule editor
Select a timeline bar, enter its proposed time or resource and submit the change for independent review. Overlapping resource loads are rejected.
Scenario clone and comparison
Clone governed demand and supply, override controlled assumptions and compare people, machine, maintenance and cash outcomes.
Compare scenarios to see controlled capacity, downtime and cash deltas.
Repetitive production and Kanban control
Approve a dated daily-rate schedule before generating frozen work-order buckets. Record consumption and replenishment against governed physical Kanban cards.
Rate schedules
Generated buckets
Kanban loops
Signal history
Production execution
Frozen production orders, controlled material release, dispatched operations, resource booking, WIP, exceptions and completion.
Material picking and staging
Create a wave from Flow-confirmed reservations, scan the exact product, lot and serial, and stage only after Flow confirms every physical movement.
Pick waves
Pick items
Production release and dispatch
Frozen components
Operation dispatch
Component shortage resolution
Apply only qualified, effective alternates through independent review before material reservation.
Backflush consumption and recovery
Calculate component consumption from cumulative output, independently approve it, and post linked returns when output is corrected downwards.
Select a work order to check release readiness or record controlled execution.
Merge, teardown, full rework and reversal
Submit version-bound production changes for independent review and controlled execution. Historical orders and transactions remain traceable.
Manufacturing-mode release controls
Validate mode-specific evidence for process, repetitive, lean, configure-to-order, engineer-to-order, project and mixed-mode work before material release.
Select a non-discrete work order to calculate its release controls.
Labour, crew and machine clocks
Couple start and stop to the released operation, calculate minutes and cost, and route corrections for independent approval.
Production and alternate-material review
Independently govern component alternatives, shortage substitutions, backflush consumption, secondary outputs, WIP movement and scrap or remnant outcomes.
Secondary outputs
Operation WIP transfers
Scrap and remnant dispositions
Subcontract manufacturing
Approve supplier terms, dispatch controlled WIP, reconcile partial receipts and publish the fully received service cost to Ledger.
Supplier orders
Dispatch and receipt evidence
Production events
Exceptions and escalation
Operator devices
Offline conflict queue
OEE and throughput
Electronic production records
Automatic bottleneck ranking
Rank the latest governed resource metrics for a controlled period, retain the calculation evidence and require an independent reviewer before the result becomes authoritative.
Analyses
Ranked resources
Operation WIP ageing
Calculate operation-level WIP quantity, value and age from governed production movements, then independently review current, warning and critical exceptions.
Ageing analyses
Aged operation WIP
Production-period average revaluation
Derive product average production cost from published cost snapshots and completed output, approve it independently and submit the sealed period calculation to authoritative Flow inventory.
Period calculations
Product averages
Operator and regulated-record governance
Independently approve devices, calculate machine performance, compile electronic production history and apply controlled signatures before release.
Serial, lot and batch genealogy
Trace component consumption to production output and customer-facing stock.
Assembly evidence and recall control
Link governed Vault certificates to an exact genealogy edge. Calculate the complete connected serial/lot scope before a different quality reviewer approves and activates a recall.
Recall register
Recall actions
Automatic offcut geometry
Derive the remaining material from the posted issue's controlled source dimensions, consuming cut pattern and kerf. Operators cannot enter a final remnant size.

Reliability analytics
Maintenance review and generation
Plans require independent review. Approved calendar and meter plans generate replay-safe work orders and publish governed Flow purchase requests for required spares.
Failure classification and recovery
Review the symptom and failure classification independently, then record the governed cause, remedy and restoration. Forge closes downtime and corrective work and recalculates reliability.
Control and reporting
Governed production cost, variance, WIP, cancellation, material usage, quality and performance drill-through.
Production cost and WIP reconciliation
Calculate standard and actual material, labour, machine, subcontract, overhead, recovery and scrap cost. Review the sealed purchase-price, usage, yield, labour/machine rate and efficiency, volume and supporting variance decomposition before independent approval and Ledger publication.
Run a governed production cost calculation to reconcile WIP and variance.

Variance review
Flow material reconciliation
Pending, unmatched and rejected manufacturing stock movements remain here. Correct a discrepancy without changing the original transaction, obtain independent approval, then submit the replay-safe correction to Flow.
