When we schedule a body of work, we create a Job. The scheduling of a job creates individual item records that are tracked through the shop, assigned to a customer, and shipped on time. Every individual item has a unique ID number stamped on its bottom and is linked to the customer record.

We put laptops in the assembly room and finishing room and record progress when and where progress is made. We know what to assemble on any given day to be sure and make promised shipping dates. When someone asks, we can say when an item is going to be available.

Game changed.
