| # Shop Floor Control (SFC) The shop floor control module handles the creation of production orders, planning of production orders, and the procedure related to the execution of these orders. You can manually create and modify production orders in the Shop Floor Control module. To create production orders automatically, you must use Enterprise Planning. At macro level, the procedure consists of availability of materials and capacity, determining the order sequence, providing the necessary information through the help of various documents to the operators on the shop floor, recording all transactions of issuing material, and receiving the finished product in the warehouse. The time spent by a worker on a production order is also recorded, so the actual cost of a production order and the production efficiency can be obtained. The Shop Floor Control module can be used to replan production orders, especially to alter the timing of operations to take account of delays and changes in priorities. If you are unable to complete certain operations yourself, you can use the Shop Floor Control module to subcontract operations.
