Operation

The Operation Master defines and manages the various operations involved in the production process within the MES system.
Each operation represents a specific stage or task in manufacturing — such as Assembly, Welding, Inspection, or Packing.
This module helps standardize processes, monitor production efficiency, and manage costs accurately.

Purpose​

The Operation Master allows users to:

  • Define the sequence of operations in the production cycle.
  • Set standard time and cost for each operation, improving planning and scheduling accuracy.
  • Maintain consistent operation definitions across divisions and departments.
  • Support cost control and performance tracking by establishing measurable benchmarks.

Steps to Add a New Operation​

  1. Navigate to the Operation menu from the main MES Dashboard.
  2. Click on the Add New button to create a new operation entry.
  3. Enter the Operation Name (for example: Assembly, Painting, Cutting, Inspection).
  4. Specify the Standard Time required to complete this operation.
    • Time can be entered in minutes or hours, depending on the process requirements.
  5. Enter the Standard Cost associated with performing this operation.
    • This helps in calculating production cost and resource utilization.
  6. Click Save to store the operation details in the system. Alt text for the image

Operation Details Displayed​

Once operations are added, the list displays the following information:

  • Operation Name – The name of the process step (e.g., Assembly, Welding).
  • Standard Time – The estimated duration to complete one cycle of the operation.
  • Standard Cost – The predefined cost associated with performing the operation.
  • Status – Indicates whether the operation is Active or Inactive.
  • Action – Allows you to Edit and Delete of the operation.

Additional Features​

  • You can filter or search for operations using the search bar.
  • Use the Refresh Icon to update the operation list after making any changes.
  • In case of process updates, you can edit existing operations to modify time or cost.
  • Deactivating an operation prevents it from being assigned to new production orders but keeps its history intact.

✅ Tip:
Keep your operation definitions clear and standardized across all divisions.
Accurate time and cost values improve production scheduling, resource planning, and profitability analysis.
