Plant ApplicationsAbout Adding Operations to the Work Queue
Each row in Work Queue represents an operation to be performed. By default, Work Queue contains the operations that meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Operations in which at least one serial number has been clocked on
- Operations that you previously added to Work Queue, but not completed
In addition, you can add an operation or all the available operations in a work order to Work Queue. You can add an operation if at least one serial number is available for you to begin work.
Adding operations to Work Queue has the following advantages:
- Extends the list of operations that you want to perform
- Provides visibility on the progress of work that you plan to complete.
To add operations, you can enter the serial number (on which you want to perform an operation) manually or scan the bar code. You can also enter the name of the operation or work order.
Note: If you add operations by entering operation names, all the operations with that name are added to Work Queue, regardless of the work order associated with each of them. Therefore, we recommend that you add operations by entering the serial numbers or work order names instead of entering operation names.
