Digital Job Cards and Production Scheduling

Replace whiteboards and printed schedules with a live production board and digital job cards for each workstation.

The problem

When schedules live on whiteboards or printed sheets, status updates move slowly and office teams interrupt the floor constantly just to ask whether orders are ready.

Implementation

Run production from a digital schedule that assigns work to stations and lets operators update order status directly from shared tablets.

Workflow steps

Generate job cards and assign them to the right workstation in sequence.
Let operators update progress from a shared floor device.
Expose real-time completion status to the office without manual follow-up.

Expected result

Eliminate lost job cards, reduce interruptions to floor managers, and keep the highest-priority work moving.

Why this works in Norbital

Each step reads and updates the same records. Forms, approvals, automations, and reports do not need separate data copies.
