Step-by-step in Forge MES
- Open the Work Order to review overall status, progress, Production Metrics, and task distribution.
- Open Route Execution Logs and compare Total Logs, Passed, Failed, and In Progress.
- Filter by status, date range, Work Order, Product, Routing, or Station.
- Review the timestamp, production context, operator, quality result, and execution status in each log.
Rules to remember
- Work Order status and Task status answer different questions.
- A Work Order becomes COMPLETED only after every Production Task finishes.
- Route Execution Logs preserve operation-level evidence, including the Station, operator, quality result, status, and timestamp.
Configure for the client
- Match operator roles, scan enforcement, material-consumption rules, equipment integration, work instructions, and exception permissions to the client's shop-floor controls.
- Validate the configured behaviour with approved test data in the target environment before production use.
Ready when
- Work Order progress and task distribution agree.
- Completed operations appear in Route Execution Logs.
- Filters return the expected Work Order, Product, Routing, or Station history.
