Upload Work Orders

Make sure your current subscription supports scheduling

You can use different screens to upload and visualize Work Orders: Bulk Edit, Machine Kanban, and Status Kanban. An important tool is Schedule Statuses. This feature color codes the Machine Statuses. Mingo provides 4 preestablished statuses for your Work Order: Not Scheduled, Scheduled, In Process, and Complete. However, you can add as many status as you need for your facility. 

To access Bulk Edit, Machine Kanban, Status Kanban, and Schedule Statuses, go to the Administration Tab, and they are in the Scheduling group.

Bulk Edit

In this screen, you are able to see a list of the Work Orders you have created. With the use of Schedule Filters, Mingo makes it easier to find a Work Order with a Date Range, Status of the Work Order, Facility, Department, Machine, Part, and Job Number. 

If you know the Job Number for the Work Order, and you enable the Exclusive switch, you will be able to see the Work Orders just relating to that Work Order.

If you are creating a Work Order using the Schedule Group, you can do it manually or by uploading an Excel File. If you would like to add or remove any columns from this view, here is an article with more details on that process. The only columns you cannot remove are Status, Start Date, Due Data, Job Number, Cell, Part, and Qty Required. Another action you can do in this page is duplicating a Work Order structure. Simply [click] the button.

Schedule Machine Kanban

In this screen, the Schedule Statuses can be seen on the left of each Work Order. The Work Orders will be under the machine they were assigned to. 

Like on the Bulk Edit, you can Filter the Work Orders by Date Range, Work Order Status, Facility, Department, Machine, Part, and Job Number. You can also add Work Orders manually or with an Excel Export/Import

Additionally, you can switch the order of Work Orders by simply dragging one Work Order to your desirable place on the lists. If a Work Order has any quantity produced, a status bar will be seen at the end of each Work Order Block. 

Schedule Status Kanban

This screen is similar to the Schedule Machine Kanban with the exception that the Work Orders will be filter by Schedule Statuses rather than machines.
