Production Manager Workspace - Fashion

The production manager in the fashion industry uses the workspace to maximize its comprehensive overview of production activities, allowing users to quickly assess key metrics and manufacturing orders. The workspace features intuitive dashboards that highlight open and overdue MO's, planned MO's and product monitors as well as links to cutting and sewing work center overviews.

Users can easily drill down into specific data points for detailed insights, enabling them to manage processes, address issues, and streamline workflows effectively. This dual-layered approach empowers production managers to decide while maintaining operational efficiency.

This workspace contains these widgets:

If the Function Search is disabled, you must create a record by specifying a combination of program, sorting order, and table for the search on 'Standard Search. Open' (CMS021/B).
