Workflow

Flow 28 — Production readiness to controlled operation dispatch

Independently approve exact production resources and competencies, qualify a named operator, release one exact ready dispatch, and capture balanced WIP/labour evidence before Flow 27 operation execution.

Overview

Inventory meaning

Flow 28 is an execution gate only. It reads physical identity, calibration and user status live, but never issues a calibration certificate, changes a user or physical asset, moves stock, changes assembly custody or controls a machine/PLC.

Responsible roles

Manufacturing Engineer definition author → different Production Manager definition approver and operator qualifier → different Production Planner dispatch planner → different Production Supervisor dispatch releaser → exact named Production Operator executor → Auditor read-only

Process

1
Govern resources
Version work centres and exact physical tool/equipment identities; cite the calibration instrument where calibration is mandatory.
Read-only source references
2
Govern competency
Version the requirement and independently qualify one named active Production Operator for a bounded period.
No HR authority
3
Plan dispatch
Bind one released build operation to exact approved versions, current qualification and a planned window.
No material move
4
Independent release
A separate supervisor rechecks every live readiness source and releases or rejects the dispatch.
Runtime gate only
5
Execute evidence
Only the assigned operator records balanced WIP, labour and type-specific results through Flow 27.
Evidence, not custody
READ ONLY

Detailed steps

1
As Manufacturing Engineer, open Manufacturing → Production readiness and define a work centre. Define each controlled tool/equipment with its exact active physical identity and exact current calibration instrument when calibration is required; submit each immutable version.
2
As a different Production Manager, approve only valid exact definitions. Create and approve the competency version, then qualify one active same-site Production Operator for a bounded validity period using controlled evidence.
3
After Flow 27 schedules the exact build, act as Production Planner and plan each operation dispatch with one approved work centre, optional approved tool/equipment, exact competency version and currently qualified named operator.
4
As a different Production Supervisor, release only while resource versions remain active, physical identities remain ACTIVE, required calibration is VALID/DUE_SOON or validly overridden, competency remains approved, qualification remains current and the named operator remains active and site-scoped.
5
As the exact assigned Production Operator, record operation evidence. Started WIP must equal completed plus rejected WIP; PASS requires positive completed WIP; inspection/test requires measurements and software load requires the exact version.
6
As Auditor, confirm each dispatch completes once, each execution has one WIP/labour record and all stock, ledger, assembly, calibration, user, physical-identity and machine-control sources remain unchanged.

Manufacturing Engineer

Create the readiness definition

Open /manufacturing/readiness

Define the resource and competency, then use approved versions when planning dispatch.

Exact field name	Requirement	Sample value A	How to use it
Site	Select existing	`COM-01`	Select the governed site.
Resource type	Required	`WORK_CENTRE`	Choose the exact resource class.
Code	Required	`TRAIN-A-CELL-A`	Use a unique governed code.
Name	Required	`Training Assembly Cell A`	Use the controlled resource name.
Capability statement	Required	`Manual actuator assembly and controlled torque operations.`	State what the resource is approved to do.
Exact build operation	Select existing	`TRAIN-A-WO-ASM-001 / operation 20`	Select the released build operation.
Approved work centre	Select existing	`TRAIN-A-CELL-A v1`	Select the approved resource version.
Required competency	Select existing	`TRAIN-A-COMP-ASM v1`	Select the approved competency.
Qualified operator	Select existing	`Training Operator A`	Select the named currently qualified operator.
Planned start	Required	`2026-10-10 09:00`	Use a valid capacity window.
Planned end	Required	`2026-10-10 11:00`	End must follow start and remain available.

Expected result: Production approval and supervisor release remain separate; readiness does not move or consume stock.

End state

Every manufacturing operation attempt is authorized by an independently released exact dispatch with live readiness, a named qualified operator and balanced WIP/labour evidence, without duplicating the authority of calibration, identity, HR, Assembly, Inventory or machine control.
