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
- Ask to see orders -- specify "ready to close" or "expiring" and optionally filter by site
- The Champion validates your site code
- Results appear in a table sorted by due date
- 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
- Search first -- find orders ready to close
- Request closure -- the Champion shows which orders will be closed
- Confirm -- say "yes" to close the batch, "no" to cancel
- 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
