Production Events

​

Overview

Production Events track activities during production execution. The system supports three event types, each displayed in its own tab:

1. Material Events: Raw material consumption
2. Task Events: Labor and work activities
3. Space Events: Production space allocation

​

Event Tabs

The Events page has three tabs for organizing event types:

​

Materials Tab

Tracks materials consumed during production:

• Material item used
• Quantity consumed
• Date/time of consumption
• Production batch or work order
• Status (planned, in progress, complete)

​

Tasks Tab

Tracks labor and work activities:

• Task name and description
• Assignee/team
• Start and end time
• Duration
• Status (planned, in progress, complete)

​

Space Tab

Tracks production space usage:

• Space type (bench, bay, zone)
• Space location
• Allocation period
• Production batch using the space
• Status (planned, allocated, released)

​

Viewing Events

​

Grid View

Events display in an AG Grid with columns for:

• Event name/description
• Production batch/order
• Date/time
• Status
• Quantity (for materials) or duration (for tasks/space)
• Responsible party

​

Filtering Events

Use filters to narrow the event list:

• By date range: Show events within specific dates
• By status: Planned, in progress, complete
• By production batch: Events for specific batches
• By item/space: Events related to specific items or locations

​

Material Events

​

Creating a Material Event

1. Go to the Materials tab
2. Click Add Material Event
3. Enter:
   • Material Item: Select from Material module items
   • Quantity: Amount consumed
   • Date/Time: When consumption occurred
   • Production Batch: (Optional) batch identifier
   • Notes: Any additional details
4. Save the event

​

Recording Material Consumption

As production occurs:

1. Open the material event
2. Update status to “In Progress” when starting
3. Record actual quantity consumed (may differ from planned)
4. Add notes about any variances
5. Mark “Complete” when finished

​

Task Events

​

Creating a Task Event

1. Go to the Tasks tab
2. Click Add Task Event
3. Enter:
   • Task Name: Descriptive name
   • Description: Task details
   • Assignee: Person responsible
   • Start Time: When task begins
   • Duration: Expected time to complete
   • Production Batch: Associated batch
4. Save the event

​

Tracking Task Completion

1. Open the task event
2. Update status to “In Progress” when starting
3. Record actual start time if different from planned
4. Track labor hours
5. Add completion notes
6. Mark “Complete” when finished

​

Task Event Status

• Planned: Task scheduled but not started
• In Progress: Task currently being performed
• Complete: Task finished
• Blocked: Task cannot proceed (waiting on dependency)
• Cancelled: Task no longer needed

​

Space Events

​

Creating a Space Event

1. Go to the Space tab
2. Click Add Space Event
3. Enter:
   • Space Type: Type of space (greenhouse, bench, bay, etc.)
   • Space Category: Category or zone
   • Location: Specific location identifier
   • Start Date: When space is needed
   • End Date: When space is released
   • Production Batch: Batch using the space
4. Save the event

​

Space Allocation Workflow

1. Planning:

• Create space events during recipe planning
• Status: “Planned”

2. Allocation:

• When space is assigned, update status to “Allocated”
• Record actual space location
• Note any differences from planned space

3. Release:

• When production moves out, mark “Complete”
• Space becomes available for other batches

​

Space Conflicts

The system may highlight space conflicts when:

• Multiple events allocated to same space
• Overlapping time periods
• Exceeding space capacity

​

Event Status Management

​

Updating Event Status

1. Click on the event row
2. Change status dropdown
3. Save the update

​

Bulk Status Updates

​

Event Reporting

​

Event History

View historical events for:

• Production analysis
• Cost tracking
• Labor reporting
• Space utilization metrics

​

Filtering for Reports

Common report filters:

• Date range: Last week, last month, custom range
• Status: Complete events only
• Item/Batch: Events for specific production
• Assignee: Events by person or team

​

Exporting Events

1. Apply desired filters
2. Click Export in toolbar
3. Choose format (CSV, Excel)
4. Download file for analysis

​

Best Practices

​

Material Event Tracking

• Record in real-time: Track consumption as it happens
• Note variances: Document why actual differs from planned
• Link to batches: Connect events to production batches
• Update inventory: Ensure material counts sync with Material module

​

Task Event Management

• Realistic estimates: Base durations on historical data
• Track dependencies: Note which tasks depend on others
• Document issues: Record any problems encountered
• Labor accuracy: Record actual labor hours for costing

​

Space Event Planning

• Plan ahead: Schedule space well in advance
• Buffer time: Include setup/cleanup time
• Check availability: Verify space before allocating
• Release promptly: Free space as soon as production moves

​

Common Scenarios

​

Scenario: Recording Daily Production Material Usage

Goal: Track materials consumed each day

1. At start of day, filter events to “Today” + “Material Events”
2. For each material used:
   • Open planned material event (if exists)
   • Or create new material event
   • Record quantity consumed
   • Update status to “Complete”
3. Review end-of-day totals
4. Export for accounting

​

Scenario: Managing Space Allocation

Goal: Allocate greenhouse benches for multiple batches

1. Go to Space tab
2. Filter by date range (next 2 weeks)
3. Review space events to see availability
4. For new batch:
   • Create space event
   • Select available bench
   • Set start and end dates
5. Check for conflicts (highlighted in red)
6. Adjust timing or space if conflicts exist
7. Save allocation

​

Scenario: Tracking Task Completion

Goal: Monitor daily task progress

1. Go to Tasks tab
2. Filter by “Today” + “In Progress” or “Planned”
3. As tasks start/finish:
   • Update status
   • Record actual time
   • Add completion notes
4. At end of day, verify all tasks marked correctly
5. Export task report for management

​

Troubleshooting

​

Event Won’t Save

Possible causes:

• Required fields missing
• Invalid date range
• Space already allocated

Solutions:

• Fill all required fields
• Verify dates are in correct order (start before end)
• Check for space conflicts
• Review error message for specific issue

​

Can’t Find an Event

Possible causes:

• Event in different tab
• Filters hiding event
• Event deleted

Solutions:

• Check all three event tabs
• Clear all filters
• Search by batch or item name
• Verify event wasn’t accidentally deleted

​

Space Conflict Warning

Issue: Multiple events assigned to same space Solutions:

• Review conflicting events
• Adjust start/end dates to avoid overlap
• Allocate to different space
• Expand space capacity if needed
