Daily Shift Details

The Daily Shift Details module provides a clear and comprehensive snapshot of all shift activities scheduled for a specific day.
It serves as the central monitoring point where supervisors and production managers can track real-time progress, ensure adequate resource allocation, and analyze daily productivity.

This module consolidates information from the Shift Scheduler, Production Line, and Generate Shifts sections to display a complete operational view of the factory floor for the selected day.

Purpose​

The main purpose of the Daily Shift Details screen is to provide day-wise visibility of production activities.
It allows users to:

  • Monitor which shifts are active on a given day.
  • Identify assigned production lines, machines, and employees per shift.
  • Review operational status — such as running, stopped, or idle lines.
  • Ensure shift adherence and resource utilization are on target.
  • Support real-time decision making for rescheduling, maintenance, or workforce management.

Data Source​

The Daily Shift Details screen automatically pulls data from:

  1. Shift Scheduler — for the list of active shifts and their schedules.
  2. Production Line Setup — to identify machines, operators, and supervisors linked to each line.
  3. Generate Shifts — for the time and duration of each shift.
  4. Shift Master — for base configuration (shift names, timings, and holidays).

✅ Automatic Synchronization: Any updates in these modules (such as a machine being stopped or a shift being canceled) instantly reflect in the Daily Shift Details view.

Displayed Information​

Each record in the Daily Shift Details view displays key information for easy monitoring:

FieldDescription
DateThe current date for which the details are displayed.
Shift NameThe specific shift (e.g., Morning, Afternoon, Night).
Production LineThe name of the line operating in that shift.
Machine DetailsLists machines assigned to the line (with their current status).
Operator / SupervisorNames of employees working during that shift.
Shift TimingStart and end times for the shift.
StatusIndicates whether the shift is Running, Stopped, or Completed.
Output SummaryShows the total quantity produced during that shift (if available).

Functional Overview​

  1. Shift Selection

    • Users can filter by date or shift name to focus on specific periods.
    • The interface shows all production lines that have active shifts on that day.

  2. Real-Time Monitoring

    • Each production line displays live operational data (e.g., running time, downtime).
    • Machine and employee statuses are color-coded for easy identification.

  3. Performance Tracking

    • The system displays metrics such as:
      • Planned vs. Actual Production Quantity
      • Shift Utilization Rate
      • Downtime or Delays

  4. Status Indicators

    • Running: Shift and production line are active.
    • Idle: Shift scheduled, but production not started.
    • Stopped: Shift paused due to maintenance or breakdown.
    • Completed: Shift successfully completed for the day.

  5. Drill-Down Option

    • Supervisors can click on a shift entry to view detailed information such as:
      • Machine parameters
      • Operator logs
      • Production count
      • Maintenance alerts

Operational Workflow​

  1. Open the Daily Shift Details screen.
  2. Select the desired date — defaults to the current date.
  3. The system lists all active shifts and production lines for that day.
  4. Review machine and employee assignments for each shift.
  5. Track real-time status updates as the shift progresses.
  6. Optionally export or print the shift summary for documentation or reporting.
