Production Progress Tracking for Manufacturing
See where every order actually stands — stage by stage, job by job — and trust what you see.
Why production progress stays fragmented
In most workshops, the answer to “where is this order?” lives in someone’s memory, a spreadsheet, a whiteboard or a messaging thread. Progress knowledge is scattered across people and tools, so every status question takes a phone call — and every answer is an estimate.
Manager Mike replaces that with one progress layer: each production run is structured into stages and jobs, and progress is recorded where the work happens.
What Manager Mike tracks
Stages
A production run moves through defined stages — each with its own required work.
Jobs
Parallel jobs within a stage stay visible individually, not buried in one line item.
Nodes of work
Work is broken into concrete, confirmable nodes instead of vague percentages.
Current status
The live answer to “what is being worked on right now?” is always available.
Completed work
Completed nodes, jobs and stages are confirmed — and stay distinguishable from claims.
Exceptions
Failed or unclear progress becomes an explicit item that someone resolves.
How it works
- Structure the run. Stages, jobs and nodes of work are defined once.
- Workers confirm progress. Completed nodes are reported with a simple, focused experience.
- Managers verify and resolve. Checks run, exceptions are resolved, and progress becomes trustworthy.
- Status is always current. Anyone with the right view sees the same up-to-date picture.
