Insights on production scheduling, lean manufacturing, and manufacturing software from 35+ years of industry experience.
How the platform actually works: scheduling, optimization, the shop floor and ERP data.
What Is a Resource Replacement Audit? EDGEBIC Definition
A resource replacement audit lists jobs whose work center was swapped, by whom, and to where. See how EDGEBIC builds it from the schedule change log.
What Is a Sales Order Line?
A sales order line is one row on a customer order: a product, quantity, unit price, and due date. When the order is confirmed, the line is firm demand.
What Is a Scheduling Anomaly Check? EDGEBIC Definition
A scheduling anomaly check is an automated test that flags data integrity problems in a schedule. See the V, F, I, and C families EDGEBIC runs after every plan.
What Is a Security Audit Log?
A security audit log is an append-only record of every sign-in, password change, and access decision. Learn what EDGEBIC records and why the log is never pruned.
What Is a Unit of Measure in Manufacturing?
A unit of measure is the standard quantity label (each, kilogram, hour) attached to a product so orders, routings, and inventory all count the same way.
What Is a Warm Start in Production Scheduling?
A warm start feeds the current schedule into the optimizer as its starting point, so the solver improves a real working plan instead of searching from a blank calendar.
What Is Account Lockout?
Account lockout temporarily blocks sign-in after too many failed password attempts. Learn how EDGEBIC uses a 5-attempt, 15-minute default to slow brute-force guessing.
What Is an Effective Permission?
An effective permission is the final yes-or-no answer to what a user can do, after every role they hold is combined into one set. Learn how EDGEBIC computes it.
What Is an End Item in Manufacturing?
An end item is the finished product a manufacturing order produces, the root of its routing, distinct from the components and materials consumed to build it.
What Is an Import Entity Type?
An import entity type is the kind of record a mask loads: products, work centers, customers, routings, sales orders, or actuals. Learn how EDGEBIC uses it.
What Is an Import Row Status?
An import row status is the per-row outcome of a data load: Created, Updated, Reused, Skipped, or Failed. Learn what each means and how EDGEBIC reports them.
What Is an Inventory Adjustment?
An inventory adjustment is a manual ledger entry that corrects on-hand stock to match a physical count, posted as a signed delta with no linked order.
