Close tolerances and tight sales margins? Keep track of work orders using barcodes. CNC operators use barcodes to track manufacturing time on the shop floor.

Here's the process: 1. Scan username 2. Scan work order 3. Scan task 4. Timer starts 5. Perform job and task 6. Scan username again 7. Scan STOP 8. Timer stops

Now you have just recorded the employee, work order, task, client, start, stop, actual work, and about ten other pieces of relevant data. Use that in reports, WIP, and KPI's.

Consider updating your mfg shop with barcode time tracking. Scan work orders and tasks at each stage of the manufacturing process. Now you know who worked on the job last, what stage it is in, and the estimated completion time.
