Pre Production Jobs
Some Empower Factory Productivity and Scheduling Customers track and capture time on processes that occur before actual production occurs in the factory, examples could be design, pricing / quoting, selling, ordering materials etc.
Once the pre production Job is ready for production (e.g. once a quote has been accepted) you can then track factory or production processes.
To do this, add a new Job. From the main menu go to Job > New. See Introducing Jobs.
Some Empower Customers add a letter (for example Q) before the Job Number to signify this is a quoted Job only at this stage.
The Product that is entered maybe called for example Pre Production. Pre Production can include any processes you like, e.g.
- Design
- Price
- Materials
- Programming, etc.
See also Setting Up Products.
When ready to carry out the Production Processes (e.g. your client accepts the quote), go back and edit the Job. See Editing Jobs.
