The Shop Floor mobile app includes a “My Operations” view that shows each operator a filtered list of the production operations they have been allocated to. The view works by filtering on allocated resources matching your resource number, so you only see the operations that are relevant to you.
A production manager allocates operations to operators by working directly on the production order in the Shop Floor overview. The manager can allocate one or more people to the same operation, and operators can register time directly from the “My Operations” view using the start/stop action.
Allocations disappear from your list when the manager removes them, or automatically when the production order is finished and falls outside the status filter.
What the “My Operations” view does in Shop Floor mobile
In the Shop Floor mobile overview, the “My Operations” action gives you a list of the operations that have been allocated to you. If you have a manager or someone in the production area who decides what each operator works on, they can add an operation to you, and it pops up in your list.
The view is a shortcut for registering time directly, either with the start/stop action or from the time and output in the “My Operations” overview. Behind the scenes it simply filters allocated resources by your resource number. On production order 163, for example, you might only be allocated to operation 10 and nothing else, so that is all you see.
How the manager allocates operators to operations
The manager typically works directly on the production order in the Shop Floor overview. If someone is looking at production order 163, they can allocate you to additional operations. You might be set up for the next operation as well, and possibly more after that.
You can also allocate more than one person to the same operation. If only one resource is allocated, the manager can add another. The original allocation can either be deleted or kept, so two people end up allocated to the same operation when needed.
What the operator sees and how allocations are removed
When you click “My Operations”, you see everything you are allocated to. This includes both the operations where you work together with other people through multiple allocation, and the operations you are directly allocated to on your own.
The “My Operations” view is a clear picture of what you are going to do. The manager can remove the allocation when you are done. When the production order is finished, the operation disappears from your list automatically because of the status filter. The result is a fast shortcut for quick registrations.
Q&A
What does the “My Operations” view show in Shop Floor mobile?
It shows a list of the production operations allocated to you. The view filters allocated resources by your resource number, so you only see operations that are relevant to you, including both operations you share with others and operations allocated directly to you.
How does a manager allocate operations to an operator?
The manager works directly on the production order in the Shop Floor overview and allocates the operator to one or more operations. The allocated operations then appear in that operator’s “My Operations” list.
Can more than one person be allocated to the same operation?
Yes. If one resource is already allocated, the manager can add another person. The original allocation can be kept or deleted, so two or more people can be allocated to the same operation.
When do operations disappear from the “My Operations” list?
An operation disappears when the manager removes the allocation, or automatically when the production order is finished and falls outside the status filter.
Can you register time from the “My Operations” view?
Yes. The view is a shortcut for quick registrations. You can register time directly using the start/stop action or from the time and output in the “My Operations” overview.
