The Workstation Module in MokoCRM is used to define and manage physical or virtual production stations within a manufacturing workflow. Each workstation represents a specific step or location in the production process and can be used to track time, costs, capacity, and performance during manufacturing orders.
🧾 Enabling the Module
- Navigate to:
Home → Setup → Modules → Workstations - Click Activate
- Ensure the Manufacturing Orders module is also enabled
🏭 Creating a Workstation
- Go to Manufacturing → Workstations → New Workstation
- Enter:
- Name (e.g., Cutting Station, Assembly Line 1)
- Location (warehouse, building, department)
- Hourly rate or operational cost (optional)
- Capacity per day or shift (optional)
- Save to make the workstation available for use in manufacturing orders
🔁 Using Workstations in Production
- Assign a workstation to each manufacturing step
- Track time and cost per workstation used during manufacturing
- Monitor workload and utilization across production lines
- Log notes or quality checks per station for traceability
🔗 Integration With Other Modules
- Manufacturing Orders: Link workstations to specific tasks or phases
- Products: Use workstations in BOM routing or instructions
- Stock: Control where components are consumed or produced
📊 Reporting and Oversight
- Generate reports on workstation usage and productivity
- Filter by workstation, date range, or operator
- Analyze cost and time per unit produced across stations
📌 Best Practices
- Name workstations clearly to reflect real-world production layouts
- Set realistic capacity to improve scheduling accuracy
- Use cost fields to evaluate efficiency and profitability
- Review workstation logs regularly to detect production bottlenecks
- Integrate workstation tracking with production quality checks if applicable
