# Production Progress Forecasting Using the production progress dashboard to understand real-time progress against production targets. ### Benefit Allows operators and production managers to visualise in real time, the current progress of a schedule against where they should be. ### Setup Each station to be monitored must have a production schedule. This can be created via Schedule Management page or Quick Schedule Start. All SKUs to be produced must have a Performance Target set. This is the ideal rate that the SKU should be produced, based on Cycle Time, Units per Minute, Units per Hour or an Independent Process Speed. TV screens installed on shop floor and a tablet for each station to be monitored. ### Daily Workflow 1. Production manager adds schedules for the day. Or an operator can create a Quick Schedule on the tablet. 2. Operator starts a schedule on tablet. 3. Production count can be recorded directly from the machine or manually entered via Operator Tablet. 4. Schedules will appear on Production Progress Chart displaying the current quantity completed, whether the schedule is currently on target and an estimated time remaining. 5. If necessary Performance Targets can be refined to consider whats happening on the shop floor. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
