The term SFDC in a Match-IT context refers to the facilities available to control works orders, once they have been approved, using simple bar-code readers.

This includes issuing and returning kit, logging operation progress and logging completed products; all in real-time.

The benefit of using SFDC is that it provides a straightforward, easy to use and accurate mechanism to get information on time and materials used to produce your products. You will be able to show your shop-floor staff how to use it in a few minutes. The impact on your shop-floor staff of having to log actions in this way is minimal, but the time saving on your ‘back-room’ staff can be dramatic.

This section describes the steps necessary to prepare to use SFDC and how to use it effectively.
