Jobs Terminologies
Jobs | Jobs are given a name, a set of Targets, and sometimes a Work Order.
You can set up Jobs before work begins or make them on-the-fly as you’re starting work.
Creating Jobs means that you can see your current status, how you’re performing against your Targets, and if you’re likely to meet your desired completion date.
They are a way of tying Tally sheets together and allow you to quantifiably track the status of a particular body of work. |
Body of Work | Some quantity of parts to make, by a certain date, on a certain machine, with a set of “Targets”. |
Targets | Your desired:
Utilization
Cycle Time
Part Quantity
End Date |
Progress | The comparison of your Target Metrics against actual metrics. This information is displayed on Tablets and Scoreboards. |
Work Orders | A way of grouping of Jobs. Work Orders do not have targets.
Given 3 Jobs, 100 Tires, 50 Tubes, and 1000 Spokes, a user could create 1 Work Order, called 50 Bicycles to tie the jobs together |

💻 Jobs Page: 2nd Step!
View Job Status
Each job will show a status. This could be In Progress, Ready or Not Ready (X)
- In Progress means that the job is currently active on a machine.
- Ready means that the job is not yet active, but all prep is complete.
- Not Ready (X) means that the job prep is not complete, and there are X number of tasks remaining. This number will change depending on how many prep steps are defined, and how many have been completed.
Complete Prep Signoff
Prep signoff is completed within each job row in the Jobs page.
Click the down arrow next to the job status to view the prep steps.
When you have completed your prep task, check the box next to the relevant task, select your name from the drop down, and hit Save.
You’ll see the status update based on the remaining prep tasks needed. Here, it changed from Not Ready (3) to Not Ready (2).
Filter by Incomplete Prep
Use the Incomplete Prep filter to see which jobs still require a specific prep task.
Click the drop down, and you should see all prep steps that were previously defined in the Prep Checklist.
Chose the prep step you’d like to filter for, and the job page will return all jobs that still require action for the selected prep task.
If you apply filters to the jobs page and then load the scoreboard, the scoreboard data will also have those filters applied.
