Current work center
See the work center where every unique production order is currently planned, waiting, released, or in work.
MANUFACTURING WIP TRACKING FROM THE REPORTS YOU ALREADY HAVE
See every production order still sitting at a work center.
FactoryFlow turns a current production schedule and completed-operation history into a manufacturing WIP dashboard that shows where orders are, whether they are moving, and which work centers need attention first.

CURRENT LOCATION, NOT A GUESS
Track active production orders by work center and age.
A production schedule can contain hundreds of rows without clearly showing which orders are actually progressing. FactoryFlow organizes the current snapshot into one active WIP list, then lets the team filter by work center, status, age, production order, or part number.
Order aging
Set an aging threshold and bring long-running work to the top of the review instead of finding it manually.
Movement evidence
Use completed-operation records to see that an operation finished and the order should appear at its next work center.
Clear status
Keep planned or waiting work separate from released and in-work orders so totals are not misleading.
WORK-CENTER COMPLETE ≠ ORDER COMPLETE
Know the difference between movement and final completion.
Completing an operation at one work center usually means the production order should continue through the routing. FactoryFlow preserves that distinction instead of labeling the entire order complete too early.
A PRACTICAL FIRST PILOT
Start with one daily spreadsheet workflow.
The pilot does not require replacing the company’s ERP. We map the reports that already exist, validate the field meanings with the operations team, and build the smallest view that improves a real morning decision.
Bring the current WIP report
Production schedule, WTD report, or another export containing production orders and work centers.
Add completion evidence
A completed-operation report lets the view distinguish movement through a WC from total order completion.
Confirm the operating rules
Define released, in work, waiting, aging, and the fields that determine the current work center.
Review one prioritized view
Supervisors and planners see which orders and work centers need investigation first.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Manufacturing WIP dashboard FAQ
Can FactoryFlow start with Excel or CSV files?
Yes. A pilot can begin with the production schedule, completed-operation, inventory, shortage, or cycle-count exports your team can already produce. An ERP or API connection can be considered later.
Does a completed work-center operation mean the whole production order is complete?
No. FactoryFlow keeps those events separate. A completed operation normally means the order should move to another work center; the production order is complete only when its required operations are finished.
How does the dashboard identify stuck production orders?
The current production snapshot shows where each order is sitting. Comparing snapshots and completed-operation evidence makes it possible to prioritize orders that remain at the same work center longer than the team’s chosen aging threshold.
Is FactoryFlow tied to one ERP system?
No. The operating logic is system-neutral. The pilot starts with available reports and maps their order, work-center, part, date, status, and quantity fields into a consistent view.
