MACHINE SHOP CONTROL
Workover ERP gives machine shops finite scheduling, live machine loading, tooling and scrap tracking, and full heat/lot traceability — so supervisors can promise dates from real capacity instead of gut feel.
INSIDE THE PRODUCT
CAPABILITIES
WHAT'S INSIDE MACHINE SHOP CONTROL
SHP-04 · 01
FINITE SCHEDULING
Schedule against real machine and labor capacity. See what a rush job bumps before you say yes.
SHP-04 · 02
MACHINE LOADING BOARD
Live load by work center — spot the bottleneck before it costs you a delivery date.
SHP-04 · 03
HEAT & LOT TRACEABILITY
Masonry galleries, sliders, lightboxes and embedded video — all lazy-loaded by default.
SHP-04 · 04
SCRAP & REWORK TRACKING
Scrap coded by cause, machine, and operator feeds QA trends and true job cost.
SHP-04 · 05
TOOLING MANAGEMENT
Tool inventories, locations, and regrind cycles are tied to the operations that use them.
SHP-04 · 06
MAINTENANCE WINDOWS
Planned maintenance blocks capacity on the schedule, so promises stay honest.
MACHINE SHOP CONTROL IN FOUR MOVES
LOAD
Released work orders are loaded onto machines by routing and priority.
BALANCE
The loading board shows lathe 3 at 96% — the scheduler shifts two jobs to lathe 1.
TRACE
Bar stock heat #H8842 is issued to WO-2041; the mill cert attaches automatically.
DELIVER
On-time delivery holds at 94%+ because promise dates came from real capacity.
FAQ
MACHINE SHOP CONTROL — QUESTIONS WE GET
Does Workover ERP support finite capacity scheduling?
Yes. Scheduling considers real machine hours, shifts, and labor, so the plan reflects what the shop can actually run. Overloads are visible before they become late jobs.
How is heat and lot traceability handled?
Heat and lot numbers are captured at receiving, follow material through every issue and operation, and appear on shipping documents and certs — supporting API Q1 traceability requirements end to end.
Can I see machine utilization?
Yes. Live utilization by work center is on the operations dashboard, with overloaded centers flagged and drill-down to the jobs causing the load.
How does scrap affect job cost?
Scrap is coded by cause at the point it happens and posts to the job's actual cost immediately, so margin erosion is visible while the job is still running.
