Using the Supervisor Console

The Supervisor Console makes it easy to access all the information that you need to monitor work in the Shop Floor. Since information is updated based on the interval that you specify, you can be certain that what you are looking at is current.

The transactions you perform in Supervisor Console go directly to Made2Manage (JOISS and so on) and not through the bar code posting program.

   Select Production Management > Production Transactions > Shop Floor > Supervisor Console.
