The metrics tab for facilities is functionally the same as the metrics tab on the Company record.

Metrics specified on the facility record will override the metrics from the company.

Settings Tab

  • Change to No Work at Shift Change: if the Work Order's quantity was met, the next shift will start with No Work.
  • Start Early Threshold: When specified, operators can manually start data collection from the Production Run tab before the specified start time by the number of minutes indicated
  • Process Data Metrics: All process data metrics will be visible for entry from the Process Data prompt if left blank. Adding metrics will filter the facility so that only the selected metrics will be visible.
  • Forms: Select the forms that would be available only to this facility
