Shop Floor Supervisor Champion

The Shop Floor Supervisor Champion helps you find production orders that are ready to close or approaching their due date, and batch-close them with a single confirmation.

🎯

Champion Focus

The Shop Floor Supervisor Champion keeps your production orders tidy. Find orders that are fully completed and ready to close, spot orders approaching their due dates, and batch-close them -- all through natural conversation.

What You Can Do

Find Orders Ready to Close

Identify production orders where the completed quantity matches the expected quantity:

"Show production orders ready to close"
"Show orders ready to close at site 10-100"
"Any production orders that can be closed?"

Find Expiring Orders

Spot orders approaching their due date that may need attention:

"Show expiring production orders"
"What production orders are nearing their due date at site 10-100?"

Close Production Orders

Batch-close completed orders with a single confirmation:

"Close these production orders"
"Close the orders on this page"

Look Up Reference Data

Check valid codes before filtering:

"What sites can I use?"
"Show me valid site codes"

How It Works

Finding Orders

  1. Ask to see orders -- specify "ready to close" or "expiring" and optionally filter by site
  2. The Champion validates your site code
  3. Results appear in a table sorted by due date
  4. Navigate pages with "next page", "previous page", etc.

Displayed fields: Work Order Number, Item Code, Site, Status, Expected Qty, Completed Qty, Due Date

Closing Orders

  1. Search first -- find orders ready to close
  2. Request closure -- the Champion shows which orders will be closed
  3. Confirm -- say "yes" to close the batch, "no" to cancel
  4. Only orders where completed quantity equals expected quantity can be closed

Common Use Cases

End-of-Week Cleanup

Scenario: Close all completed production orders at your site.

You:       "Show production orders ready to close at site 10-100"
Champion:  "Found 15 orders ready to close:

           WO#       | Item     | Expected | Completed | Due Date
           WO-4521   | PART-A   | 100      | 100       | 2025-01-15
           WO-4522   | PART-B   | 250      | 250       | 2025-01-18
           ...
           Showing 10 of 15"

You:       "Close these orders"
Champion:  "I'll close 10 production orders. Proceed?"

You:       "yes"
Champion:  "10 orders closed. Showing next page..."

You:       "Close these too"
Champion:  "I'll close 5 production orders. Proceed?"

You:       "yes"
Champion:  "5 orders closed. All 15 orders are now closed."

Monitoring Approaching Due Dates

Scenario: Check for orders that might miss their due date.

You:       "Show expiring production orders at site 10-100"
Champion:  "Found 8 orders approaching their due date:

           WO#       | Item     | Expected | Completed | Due Date
           WO-4530   | PART-C   | 500      | 350       | 2025-02-01
           WO-4531   | PART-D   | 200      | 200       | 2025-02-03
           ...

           WO-4531 is completed and could be closed now."

Tips and Best Practices

  • Filter by site to focus on your location
  • The Champion shows orders sorted by due date so the most urgent appear first
  • You can navigate through pages and close each batch as you go
  • After closing, search again to confirm everything is cleaned up

Troubleshooting

"Invalid site code"

Ask the Champion for valid codes: "What sites can I use?"

Cannot close an order

  • The order must have completed quantity equal to expected quantity
  • The order must not already be closed (status "C")
  • Cumulative work order types cannot be closed through this Champion
