Service Providers and end users

The M/F Shop Floor Control (S/C) module allows users to record time
entries and shop transactions of MO operations. It provides detailed
production data between the release of MO to the receipt of MO order

tracks the occurrence of station downtime (e.g. machine breakdown)
and occasional indirect stoppage (e.g. meetings).

The S/C module effectively replaces the production logs with an online
system linked to the MO data of M/F. With M/F, AutoSimply S/C
