Dashboard
Each operation shows:
Work Days – Number of active production days in the selected window
Total Capacity – Calculated as hours per day × work days
Reserved Hours – Capacity allocated to accepted or scheduled work
Ordered Hours – Capacity tied to active orders in production
Quoted Hours – Capacity temporarily held for open quotes
Available Hours – Remaining capacity that can be quoted or scheduled
Color-Coded Capacity Bar
The capacity bar provides an at-a-glance view of utilization:
Red – Reserved: Hours committed to scheduled work
Blue – Ordered: Hours actively in production
Yellow – Quoted: Hours associated with open quotes
Green – Available: Remaining capacity
This visual makes it easy to identify bottlenecks or available bandwidth by operation.
Viewing Reserved, Ordered, and Available Hours
Select an operation (for example, Laser, Press Brake, or Tube Bending, etc.) to view all RFQs and orders contributing to its capacity usage. Each entry displays:
RFQ or order number
Estimated hours
Customer name
Part count and quantities
Quote value
Scheduled date range
You can also search by operation or quote number to quickly locate specific work.
Adjusting Schedule Hours & Production Impact
Any changes to quoted hours, accepted orders, or scheduled dates automatically update the dashboard. This ensures:
Accurate production planning
Better delivery date commitments
Immediate visibility into overbooked or underutilized operations
Navigating Between Quote & Orders Tabs
On the RFQ Quotes tab, navigate to the Quote and Orders tabs to switch between pending work and active production. This allows teams to balance future demand against current capacity.
Monitoring Progress Through Production
As quotes move to accepted orders and into production, their associated hours shift across the dashboard—from Quoted to Reserved to Ordered—providing continuous visibility into workload progression.
