      <Paragraph>The shop floor control module handles the creation of <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000022" role="glossary">production orders</Link>, proper
		planning of production orders, and the procedure related to the execution of
		these orders.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can manually create
		and modify production orders in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc" role="module">Shop Floor Control</GUIRef> module. If you want to create production orders automatically, use <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>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.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc" role="module">Shop Floor Control</GUIRef> 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 <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc" role="module">Shop Floor Control</GUIRef> module
		to <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000044" role="glossary">subcontract</Link> operations.</Paragraph>
