🎯 Core System Rule: Strict Max 3 Active MOs & Automatic Queue #1 Promotion
At any given time, no more than 3 Manufacturing Orders (MOs) may occupy the Active Production Slots (Slot #1, Slot #2, Slot #3). All upcoming work is sequenced in the Prioritized Queue (Rank #1, #2, #3...). As soon as an Active MO is completed in Odoo (or marked Done on this board), it is archived to Completed History and Queue #1 automatically populates the open Active Slot.
A. Sync & Review Demand: Click 🔄 Sync & Check Completions at the start of shift to pull live open MOs (odoo_manufacturing_orders) and Past-Due Customer Orders (action_board_past_due_7).
B. Auto-Prioritize Queue: Click ✨ Auto-Prioritize Queue (or open the 💡 Smart Suggestions tab) to rank MOs by Smart Score (combining 🔥 HOT status, Days Past Due, BOM Material Readiness, Die Readiness, and Zero-Setup Die/Coil Campaign matches).
C. Keep Anti-Starvation Gate Armed: Leave 🛡️ Auto-Promote Ready MOs Only checked in the header so an MO with missing raw coil (R-*) or a downed die never auto-promotes into a press.
D. Set Finite Schedule Dates: Open the 📅 Finite Capacity tab, select daily shift hours (8h/10h/16h), and click 📅 Auto-Assign Dates from Queue Order.
A. Filter by Machine Location / Work Center: Click your machine button in the 🏭 Machine Location / Work Center bar (e.g., STMP220_01 — 220 Ton Seyi, STMP150_01 — 150 Ton Minster, SPLTASM_02 — Ojim 15).
B. Choose Cap Scope: Use 🔒 Global Shop-Wide to cap the whole area at 3 Active MOs, or switch to 🏭 Per Work Center when managing 3 active jobs per individual machine/work center.
C. Reassign Machine / Work Center: If a press or cell is overloaded or down, click the MO# (or 🔍) to open the MO Inspector and select a new Machine Location / Work Center from the dropdown.
D. Handle Mid-Run Stops: If an Active MO must stop mid-run, click ↩ To Queue #1 on the Active Slot card or ⏸️ Hold so the slot opens up for the next ready job.
A. Keep Kiosk View Open: Display the 📺 Shop Floor TV / Kiosk Display tab on shop-floor monitors.
B. Pre-Stage Queue #1 – #3 Tooling: Look at the ⏭️ NEXT UP IN QUEUE table. Pull the listed Die # from its exact Die Rack / Shelf Location (e.g., RACK-B2 / Shelf S-04) and stage it at the target machine before the current Active MO finishes.
C. Pre-Stage Raw Coils & Components: Verify the Material & Raw Stock column shows 🟢 100% Material Ready and stage the specified raw steel coil (R-*) or gaylord at the press/assembly line.
D. Look for Die Campaign Badges: When ⚡ Matches Active Die or 🎗️ Same Raw Stock is shown on Queue #1, leave the die/coil in the press after the current MO finishes!
A. Run Only Active Slot MOs: Only run MOs displayed in 🔥 ACTIVE SLOT #1, #2, or #3 for your Machine Location / Work Center. Read any Scheduler / Floor Notes on the row/card before starting.
B. Complete the Run: When the MO quantity is completed, mark the MO Done in Odoo (which auto-syncs) or click ✅ Mark Complete (Auto-Pull Queue #1) on the Active Slot card.
C. Automatic Next Job Promotion: Completing your Active MO automatically logs your run to 📜 Completed MO History and promotes Queue #1 into your open Active Slot.
