Gen. Ref.: Tracking Stages and Tracking Sequences

Less specific than individual Operations, Tracking Stages describe the phases of assembly.

By assigning routing steps to Tracking Stages, you enable Bundle-Track's Production Tracking Reports to give you a meaningful production status overview in terms of the number of production units last scanned under each Tracking Stage.

For example, the Lot Tracking Summary report simulated below shows that tickets representing 200 units from Lot 1213 were recently scanned for operations under a Tracking Stage called 'Finishing.' It also shows that there have been no tickets scanned for 100 units in that Lot (so they register as Not Started), and the last step ticket has been scanned for 550 units (so they register as Completed).

Even when two products have different assembly steps, as illustrated below, if they go through the same phases of assembly, their production status can be described in terms of the same Tracking Stages, and so they can be charted together on the same Tracking Report table.

Tracking Sequences

Of course, some products may go through different phases than others, so Bundle-Track lets you define any number of Tracking Stages and arrange them in any number of Tracking Sequences. The Tracking Reports present a separate crosstab for each Tracing Sequence.
