In X/TIME^®-BDM order management, the actual controlling mechanisms are made available. Production order management also possesses all necessary maintenance and modification functions for updating production orders, machine master and capacity data, machine and tool basic data as well as processing advice. Similarly, structural information can be continuously adjusted to additional demands. If the ODM server’s fixed processing sequence should no longer be modified with the ERP/PPC system, then the entire planning module can be bypassed, whereby production orders are already being distributed by the ERP/PPC system. The order management result represents capacity queuing per workplace. Optionally, based on the worker’s requests on the PDC-terminal, appropriate barcode acknowledgement receipts can be created or the next order can be retrieved paperlessly.
