Manufacturing statuses

Manufacturing statuses indicate whether work is pending, ready, executing, stopped, finished or canceled. Read the status alongside its object. An order, operation, group and plan do not change through the same actions.

Two types of status

Object	What its status expresses	What it does not imply
Manufacturing order	Overall situation of executable work.	That all its operations have the same status.
Operation	Situation of a specific stage.	That the entire order has reached that status.
Operation group	Situation of the operational block.	That the individual history of its operations disappears.
Production plan	Situation of a proposal’s calculation.	That actual operations have changed.

The same term does not always describe the same reality. Planned on an order or operation belongs to execution; Solution found on a plan belongs to the planning scenario.

Manufacturing orders

An order summarizes the progress of executable work.

Status	Meaning
Pending planning	The order exists but does not yet have sufficient planning for execution.
Planned	The order has operations ready for work.
In progress	An operation has started.
Paused	Work is temporarily stopped.
Blocked	The order cannot progress until a pending condition is resolved.
Finished	Work has ended, preserving traceability of progress, consumption and production.
Cancelled	The order should no longer be executed.

The order’s status is derived from its operations and the rules protecting actual execution. For example, an order can be In progress while one operation is already Finished, another remains In progress and the rest remain Planned.

Operations

An operation is the executable unit within an order.

Status	Meaning
Pending planning	Required planning or assignment is missing.
Planned	It can be prepared for execution.
In progress	Work has started and can record progress, consumption or checks.
Paused	The operation is stopped by an interruption.
Finished	The operation has ended.
Cancelled	The operation is no longer part of executable work.

Restrictions between operations can prevent starting an operation even when it is planned.

Operation groups

A group lets you execute several operations as an operational block.

Status	Meaning
Planned	The group exists and can be prepared for execution.
In progress	The group has started.
Paused	The group is temporarily stopped.
Finished	The group has ended, and each operation retains its history.

The group status does not replace each operation’s status. Use it to operate them together.

Production plans

A production plan is a scenario. Its status describes the proposal’s calculation, not actual execution.

Status	Meaning
Pending	The plan is created or updated but is not being solved yet.
Processing	Bold is calculating a sequencing proposal.
Solution found	A proposal exists that you can review and apply.
Error while searching for a solution	The calculation did not finish correctly.
No feasible solution	No valid sequence was found with the current data and restrictions.

A solution belongs to the plan until applied. A plan with Solution found can therefore coexist with actual operations that still retain their earlier dates and resources.
