Shop floor management with Dynamics 365
The shop floor management in Dynamics 365 gives you real-time visibility into your operations, resources and performance. You track operator activity, make production orders more reliable and improve your shop floor productivity day after day.
The challenges of shop floor management
Without connected shop floor management, companies struggle to track production orders, measure performance or anticipate delays. The lack of visibility directly affects lead times, costs and production quality.
- Manual, incomplete tracking of operations
- Difficulty measuring shop floor performance
- Unanticipated delays on production orders
- Lack of visibility into workload and capacity
- Limited communication between the shop floor and planning
Shop floor management with Dynamics 365
Dynamics 365 offers complete shop floor management, including real-time operations tracking, time reporting, resource management and performance measurement. Operators record their activities directly in the system, which makes production orders more reliable and reduces discrepancies. Management becomes clearer thanks to detailed dashboards on workloads, capacity, delays and quality. Connected shop floor management enables better coordination with planning, production and the Supply Chain. Dynamics 365 thus strengthens the productivity, accuracy and responsiveness of your shop floors.

Well-managed processes and a team that is always there to listen.
Personal, responsive and always cheerful support.
Managing the shop floor day to day
Shop floor tracking is only as good as its freshness: yesterday’s data manages nothing.
Shop floor reporting
Quantities produced, time spent, consumption and scrap are reported at the workstation, at the moment the work is done. Delayed entry is approximate entry.
Scheduling and sequencing
Sequencing orders at each workstation while limiting changeovers and setup times frees up capacity without investment.
Tracking disruptions and stoppages
Breakdown, material shortage, absence, poor quality: categorizing the causes of downtime is what makes it possible to address them at the root rather than simply observing them each month.
Load, capacity and bottlenecks
Visualizing the load by workstation and by period reveals the resource that constrains the entire flow, and on which the plan must be built.
Equipment performance
Overall equipment effectiveness, availability, performance and quality: these indicators guide maintenance and investment decisions.
Traceability and batch manufacturing record
Consumed components, operators, parameters and checks are automatically compiled into the batch record, rather than being reconstructed after the fact.
A question? An answer.
Frequently asked questions
Dynamics 365 centralizes production reporting, production orders and performance in real time. Conventional software remains limited to manual, unconnected data entry.
Yes. Shop floor management in Dynamics 365 easily adapts to the workshops of small and mid-sized companies thanks to a modular configuration.
Depending on the number of workshops, the complexity of flows and operator tracking needs, rollout ranges from a few weeks to several months.
Yes. Power BI analyzes productivity, production orders, scrap, downtime, capacity, workload and performance using Dynamics 365 data.
Because deferred entry is reconstructed from memory, and therefore approximate. Time, consumption and scrap reported at the moment of the task are the only reliable basis for calculating a true cost price.
By visualizing the load relative to the capacity of each work center over the planning horizon. The bottleneck is the resource whose saturation limits the entire flow: the plan must be built around it.
It is an indicator combining equipment availability, performance and output quality. It makes it possible to compare workstations or periods and identify the real nature of losses.
Yes. Consumed components, operators, machine parameters and checks performed are automatically compiled into the lot’s batch record, with no reconstruction after the fact.
