Work Queue shows the work queues of different work places or work groups. You can also use Work Queue to monitor production events.
The works are automatically assigned to the work queue of the selected cutting machine. For nesting works, the machine's work place is selected when the NC program is created in Smart Production Workshop Cutting. Other works are allocated to work queues based on order item work chains. The work manager can then re-organize these work queues in Work Queue by changing the cutting machine, the scheduling, or the sequence of the works.
Being able to re-organize work queues guarantees an efficient utilization of the resources and optimizes the cutting works between machines and operators. The optional picking list functionality supports an efficient production by enabling users to select the material from the stock just before the cutting work is started.
Using different menu options enables you to view the production events (disturbances, pauses, rejections and completed works), check and accept rejections, or observe the inventory of the storage locations.
Common terms
Work Queue
Work Queue is the name of the entire application that handles the works and production events. The work queue is the list of works to be processed in the work place.

The Work Queue window contains extra information tabs and some functionality, such the scheduling of the works.
Work Place
A work place is the location where the work takes place. For example, a cutting machine can be a location. Each work place has its own work queue.
