Admin Panel Guide

The dashboard provides a real-time snapshot of your factory operations:

• Stat cards — Total batches, active batches, pending approvals, and unread alerts.
• Recent Batches — The latest batches with their current status (Draft, In Progress, On Hold, Completed).
• Pending Approvals — Stage or task approvals waiting for action.
• Raw Materials Stock — Current ingredient stock levels with quantities and units.
• Finished Goods — Production lots with lot numbers, quantities, and QC status.
• Recent Notifications — System alerts for control point failures, batch completions, and more.

Manage who has access to your workspace and what they can do.

• Users — Create user accounts with name, email, phone, department, and role. View individual accountability stats, task history, and activity logs.
• Roles — Define roles (e.g. Admin, Supervisor, Operator) that control access levels. Tasks and approvals can be assigned to specific roles.
• Departments — Organize users into departments (e.g. Production, Quality, Packing). Tasks can be assigned to entire departments.

A Route defines the ordered sequence of stages a product goes through during manufacturing (e.g. Receiving → Processing → Packing → Dispatch).

• Stages — Each route contains ordered stages. Stages can require approval before moving on.
• Operations — Each stage contains operations (groups of related tasks at a workstation). Operations can be reused across multiple stages and routes.
• Task assignment — Assign task templates to operations with frequency (per batch, hourly, every N minutes), due-time offsets, and ownership (user, role, or department).
• Drag & drop reordering — Reorder stages, operations, and tasks within the route builder.

A batch represents a single manufacturing run of a product through its route.

• Create — Select a product, route, planned quantity, and unit of measure. The system generates a unique batch number.
• Start — Starting a batch kicks off the first stage and creates all task runs for that stage's operations.
• Stage progression — As operators complete tasks, stages auto-advance. If a stage requires approval, it enters a Waiting Approval state.
• Control point holds — When a control point task fails, the batch is put on hold and an approval is created. An admin or supervisor must approve or reject before work continues.
• Completion — When all stages are done, the batch is marked Completed. Ingredient stock is automatically deducted per the BOM, and a finished goods lot is created.
• Batch report — View a detailed report of all stages, operations, and task results. Download as a PDF for audit records.

Approvals are triggered automatically when:

• A control point task fails — creates a task-level approval and puts the batch on hold.
• A stage completes that has approval required enabled — the stage enters Waiting Approval status.

Approvals can be assigned to specific roles (e.g. only Supervisors can approve stage completions). Approve or reject with notes from the Approvals page.

The notification system keeps you informed of important events:

• Control point failures and batch holds.
• Stage completions and approval requests.
• Batch status changes.

View all notifications from the bell icon. Filter by read/unread and mark individual or all notifications as read.

Every batch has a detailed report showing all stages, operations, task results, who completed each task, timestamps, and any approval decisions. Download reports as PDF for regulatory compliance and internal audits. User-level accountability stats show task completion rates, activity history, and performance metrics.
