Shop floor & inventory

How to know what’s being fabricated today

“What’s being fabricated today” should be the live machine and work-center queue — tied to project phases — not a spreadsheet last saved yesterday. Spectr connects scheduling, inventory, and time tracking so the floor runs on current information.

Key facts

Yesterday’s priority is how last-trade shops miss a re-sequenced elevation.
Dashboards and activity feeds exist so you do not hold a meeting to learn the obvious.
If material is not staged, “on the schedule” is a wish.
Labour hours should attach to the same job you think is on the table.

How shops handle this

Publish one queue
CNC and fabrication boards in one system.
Refresh from completions
When a panel is done, today changes.
Surface blockers
Missing container, missing approval, missing finish date.
Let PMs look, not poll
If they still call the lead, the queue is not trusted.

Common questions

Can we just use a TV with a Google Sheet?

Until two people edit it. Then you have a dashboard of an argument.

What about rush work?

Rushes should jump the queue in the system so everyone sees the cost to the other job.
