Help/Production & the floor/Monitor job health & bottlenecks

Monitor job health & bottlenecks

Spot late and at-risk jobs before they become a problem.

What this is for

Job health surfaces the jobs that are slipping — behind schedule, stuck in a department, at risk of missing a deadline — so you can act early instead of finding out when the customer calls.

Monitor job health & bottlenecks — the screen in Sign OS

What is on this screen

Each part of the screen above, top to bottom, and what changing it affects.

Timeline bar colour · Risk column on Jobs · Home alert strip · Notifications
Where On track, At risk and Critical show.
Schedule health (job Production tab)
The state, Running late, current department, ready queue, and the new finish date.
At-risk buffer % (Shop hours & calendar)
The setting that decides how early a job is flagged.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Watch the health signals — On track, At risk and Critical — on the timeline job bars and in the sidebar Alerts.

  2. 2

    Open a flagged job and check Schedule health on its Production tab: On track, At risk or Critical, whether it is running late, the department it is in now, and the date it will now finish.

  3. 3

    Reschedule, reprioritise or add capacity to get it back on track. The at-risk buffer that decides when a job is flagged is under Shop hours & calendar, per department under Advanced.
